We now wait up to 1 second for diff data to come from the parent,
however we use poll(2) to wait for more data, and use a counter of
contiguous failures to get data for N times (set to 20 experimentally
after different tests) as an early stop condition to avoid wasting 1
second when the write traffic is too low.
We introduce the distinction between slow and fast commands since those
are two different sources of latency. An O(1) or O(log N) command without
side effects (can't trigger deletion of large objects as a side effect of
its execution) if delayed is a symptom of inherent latency of the system.
A non-fast command (commands that may run large O(N) computations) if
delayed may just mean that the user is executing slow operations.
The advices LATENCY should provide in this two different cases are
different, so we log the two classes of commands in a separated way.
This fixes detection of wrong subcommand (that resulted in the default
all-commands output instead) and allows COMMAND INFO to be called
without arguments (resulting into an empty array) which is useful in
programmtically generated calls like the following (in Ruby):
redis.commands("command","info",*mycommands)
Note: mycommands may be empty.
Static was removed since it is needed in order to get symbols in stack
traces. Minor changes in the source code were operated to make it more
similar to the existing Redis code base.
COMMANDS returns a nested multibulk reply for each
command in the command table. The reply for each
command contains:
- command name
- arity
- array of command flags
- start key position
- end key position
- key offset step
- optional: if the keys are not deterministic and
Redis uses an internal key evaluation function,
the 6th field appears and is defined as a status
reply of: REQUIRES ARGUMENT PARSING
Cluster clients need to know where the keys are in each
command to implement proper routing to cluster nodes.
Redis commands can have multiple keys, keys at offset steps, or other
issues where you can't always assume the first element after
the command name is the cluster routing key.
Using the information exposed by COMMANDS, client implementations
can have live, accurate key extraction details for all commands.
Also implements COMMANDS INFO [commands...] to return only a
specific set of commands instead of all 160+ commands live in Redis.
Technically the problem is due to the client type API that does not
return a special value for the master, however fixing it locally in the
CLIENT KILL command is better currently because otherwise we would
introduce a new output buffer limit class as a side effect.
From mailing list post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/redis-db/D3k7KmJmYgM
In the file “config.h”, the definition HAVE_ATOMIC is used to indicate
if an architecture on which redis is implemented supports atomic
synchronization primitives. Powerpc supports atomic synchronization
primitives, however, it is not listed as one of the architectures
supported in config.h. This patch adds the __powerpc__ to the list of
architectures supporting these primitives. The improvement of redis
due to the atomic synchronization on powerpc is significant,
around 30% to 40%, over the default implementation using pthreads.
This proposal adds __powerpc__ to the list of architectures designated
to support atomic builtins.
