Some time ago I broken replicas migration (reported in #2924).
The idea was to prevent masters without replicas from getting replicas
because of replica migration, I remember it to create issues with tests,
but there is no clue in the commit message about why it was so
undesirable.
However my patch as a side effect totally ruined the concept of replicas
migration since we want it to work also for instances that, technically,
never had slaves in the past: promoted slaves.
So now instead the ability to be targeted by replicas migration, is a
new flag "migrate-to". It only applies to masters, and is set in the
following two cases:
1. When a master gets a slave, it is set.
2. When a slave turns into a master because of fail over, it is set.
This way replicas migration targets are only masters that used to have
slaves, and slaves of masters (that used to have slaves... obviously)
and are promoted.
The new flag is only internal, and is never exposed in the output nor
persisted in the nodes configuration, since all the information to
handle it are implicit in the cluster configuration we already have.
Now we have a single function to call in any state of the slave
handshake, instead of using different functions for different states
which is error prone. Change performed in the context of issue #2479 but
does not fix it, since should be functionally identical to the past.
Just an attempt to make replication.c simpler to follow.
64 bit double math is not enough to make the test passing, and rounding
to 1.2999999 instead of 1.23 is not an error in the implementation.
Valgrind and sometimes other archs are not able to work with 80 bit
doubles.
There are some cases of printing unsigned integer with %d conversion
specificator and vice versa (signed integer with %u specificator).
Patch by Sergey Polovko. Backported to Redis from Disque.
My guess was that wait3() with WNOHANG could never return -1 and an
error. However issue #2897 may possibly indicate that this could happen
under non clear conditions. While we try to understand this better,
better to handle a return value of -1 explicitly, otherwise in the
case a BGREWRITE is in progress but wait3() returns -1, the effect is to
match the first branch of the if/else block since server.rdb_child_pid
is -1, and call backgroundSaveDoneHandler() without a good reason, that
will, in turn, crash the Redis server with an assertion.
Now it lists code around the current position by default. Can list any
other part using other arguments, but a new "whole" command was added in
order to show the whole source code easily.
Redis-cli handles the debugger "eval" command in a special way since
sdssplitargs() would not be ok: we need to send the Redis debugger the
whole Lua script without any parsing. However in order to later free the
argument vector inside redis-cli using just sdsfreesplitres(), we need
to allocate the array of SDS pointers using the same allocator SDS is
using, that may differ to what Redis is using.
So now a newer version of SDS exports sds_malloc() and other allocator
functions to give access, to the program it is linked to, the allocator
used internally by SDS.
When the debugger exits now it produces an <endsession> tag that informs
redis-cli (or other debugging clients) that the session terminated.
This way the client knows there is yet another reply to read (the one of
the EVAL script itself), and can switch to non-debugging mode ASAP.
It's handly to just eval "5+5" without the return and see it printed on
the screen as result. However prepending "return" does not always result
into valid Lua code. So what we do is to exploit a common Lua community
trick of trying to compile with return prepended, and if compilation
fails then it's not an expression that can be returned, so we try again
without prepending "return". Works great apparently.
Maybe there are legitimate use cases for MIGRATE inside Lua scripts, at
least for now. When the command will be executed in an asynchronous
fashion (planned) it is possible we'll no longer be able to permit it
from within Lua scripts.
