Adding another new filed categories at the end of
command reply, it's easy to read and distinguish
flags and categories, also compatible with old format.
In some cases processMultibulkBuffer uses sdsMakeRoomFor to
expand the querybuf, but later in some cases it uses that query
buffer as is for an argv element (see "Optimization"), which means
that the sds in argv may have a lot of wasted space, and then in case
modules keep that argv RedisString inside their data structure, this
space waste will remain for long (until restarted from rdb).
In mostly production environment, normal user's behavior should be
limited.
Now in redis ACL mechanism we can do it like that:
user default on +@all ~* -@dangerous nopass
user admin on +@all ~* >someSeriousPassword
Then the default normal user can not execute dangerous commands like
FLUSHALL/KEYS.
But some admin commands are in dangerous category too like PSYNC,
and the configurations above will forbid replica from sync with master.
Finally I think we could add a new configuration for replication,
it is masteruser option, like this:
masteruser admin
masterauth someSeriousPassword
Then replica will try AUTH admin someSeriousPassword and get privilege
to execute PSYNC. If masteruser is NULL, replica would AUTH with only
masterauth like before.
This is needed in order to model the current behavior of authenticating
the connection directly when no password is set. Now with ACLs this will
be obtained by setting the default user as "nopass" user. Moreover this
flag can be used in order to create other users that do not require any
password but will work with "AUTH username <any-password>".
