SELECT was still transmitted to slaves using the inline protocol, that
is conceived mostly for humans to type into telnet sessions, and is
notably not understood by redis-cli --slave.
Now the new protocol is used instead.
A Redis master sends PING commands to slaves from time to time: doing
this ensures that even if absence of writes, the master->slave channel
remains active and the slave can feel the master presence, instead of
closing the connection for timeout.
This commit changes the way PINGs are sent to slaves in order to use the
standard interface used to replicate all the other commands, that is,
the function replicationFeedSlaves().
With this change the stream of commands sent to every slave is exactly
the same regardless of their exact state (Transferring RDB for first
synchronization or slave already online). With the previous
implementation the PING was only sent to online slaves, with the result
that the output stream from master to slaves was not identical for all
the slaves: this is a problem if we want to implement partial resyncs in
the future using a global replication stream offset.
TL;DR: this commit should not change the behaviour in practical terms,
but is just something in preparation for partial resynchronization
support.
Before this commit every Redis slave had its own selected database ID
state. This was not actually useful as the emitted stream of commands
is identical for all the slaves.
Now the the currently selected database is a global state that is set to
-1 when a new slave is attached, in order to force the SELECT command to
be re-emitted for all the slaves.
This change is useful in order to implement replication partial
resynchronization in the future, as makes sure that the stream of
commands received by slaves, including SELECT commands, are exactly the
same for every slave connected, at any time.
In this way we could have a global offset that can identify a specific
piece of the master -> slaves stream of commands.
Further details from @antirez:
It was reported by @StopForumSpam on Twitter that the Redis replication
link was strangely using multiple TCP packets for multiple commands.
This wastes a lot of bandwidth and is due to the TCP_NODELAY option we
enable on the socket after accepting a new connection.
However the master -> slave channel is a one-way channel since Redis
replication is asynchronous, so there is no point in trying to reduce
the latency, we should aim to reduce the bandwidth. For this reason this
commit introduces the ability to disable the nagle algorithm on the
socket after a successful SYNC.
This feature is off by default because the delay can be up to 40
milliseconds with normally configured Linux kernels.
In CASE 2, the call sunionDiffGenericCommand will involve the string "srandmember"
> sadd foo one
(integer 1)
> sadd srandmember two
(integer 2)
> srandmember foo 3
1)"one"
2)"two"
When keyspace events are enabled, the overhead is not sever but
noticeable, so this commit introduces the ability to select subclasses
of events in order to avoid to generate events the user is not
interested in.
The events can be selected using redis.conf or CONFIG SET / GET.
decrRefCount used to get its argument as a void* pointer in order to be
used as destructor where a 'void free_object(void*)' prototype is
expected. However this made simpler to introduce bugs by freeing the
wrong pointer. This commit fixes the argument type and introduces a new
wrapper called decrRefCountVoid() that can be used when the void*
argument is needed.
UNSUBSCRIBE and PUNSUBSCRIBE commands are designed to mass-unsubscribe
the client respectively all the channels and patters if called without
arguments.
However when these functions are called without arguments, but there are
no channels or patters we are subscribed to, the old behavior was to
don't reply at all.
This behavior is broken, as every command should always reply.
Also it is possible that we are no longer subscribed to a channels but we
are subscribed to patters or the other way around, and the client should
be notified with the correct number of subscriptions.
Also it is not pretty that sometimes we did not receive a reply at all
in a redis-cli session from these commands, blocking redis-cli trying
to read the reply.
This fixes issue #714.
I don't know how to test for Open Solaris that has support for
backtrace() so for now removing the #ifdef that breaks compilation under
other Solaris flavors.
This commit fixes issue #875 that was caused by the following events:
1) There is an active child doing BGSAVE.
2) flushall is called (or any other condition that makes Redis killing
the saving child process).
3) An error is sensed by Redis as the child exited with an error (killed
by a singal), that stops accepting write commands until a BGSAVE happens
to be executed with success.
Whitelisting SIGUSR1 and making sure Redis always uses this signal in
order to kill its own children fixes the issue.
When a SIGTERM is received Redis schedules a shutdown. However if it
fails to perform the shutdown it must be clear the shutdown_asap flag
otehrwise it will try again and again possibly making the server
unusable.
The Redis Slow Log always used to log the slow commands executed inside
a MULTI/EXEC block. However also EXEC was logged at the end, which is
perfectly useless.
Now EXEC is no longer logged and a test was added to test this behavior.
This fixes issue #759.
Redis pings slaves in "pre-synchronization stage" with newlines. (See
https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/2.6.9/src/replication.c#L814)
However, redis-cli does not expect this - it sees the newline as the end
of the bulk length line, and ends up returning 0 as bulk the length.
This manifests as the following when running redis-cli:
$ ./src/redis-cli --rdb some_file
SYNC sent to master, writing 0 bytes to 'some_file'
Transfer finished with success.
With this commit, we just ignore leading newlines while reading the bulk
length line.
To reproduce the problem, load enough data into Redis so that the
preparation of the RDB snapshot takes long enough for a ping to occur
while redis-cli is waiting for the data.
Sometimes it is much simpler to debug complex Redis installations if it
is possible to assign clients a name that is displayed in the CLIENT
LIST output.
This is the case, for example, for "leaked" connections. The ability to
provide a name to the client makes it quite trivial to understand what
is the part of the code implementing the client not releasing the
resources appropriately.
Behavior:
CLIENT SETNAME: set a name for the client, or remove the current
name if an empty name is set.
CLIENT GETNAME: get the current name, or a nil.
CLIENT LIST: now displays the client name if any.
Thanks to Mark Gravell for pushing this idea forward.
Issue #828 shows how Redis was not correctly undoing a non-blocking
connection attempt with the previous master when the master was set to a
new address using the SLAVEOF command.
This was also a result of lack of refactoring, so now there is a
function to cancel the non blocking handshake with the master.
The new function is now used when SLAVEOF NO ONE is called or when
SLAVEOF is used to set the master to a different address.
