Optimized the performance of the SCAN command in a few ways: 1. Move the key filtering (by MATCH pattern) in the scan callback, so as to avoid collecting them for later filtering. 2. Reduce a many memory allocations and copying (use a reference to the original sds, instead of creating an robj, an excessive 2 mallocs and one string duplication) 3. Compare TYPE filter directly (as integers), instead of inefficient string compare per key. 4. fixed a small bug: when scan zset and hash types, maxiterations uses a more accurate number to avoid wrong double maxiterations. Changes **postponed** for a later version (8.0): 1. Prepare to move the TYPE filtering to the scan callback as well. this was put on hold since it has side effects that can be considered a breaking change, which is that we will not attempt to do lazy expire (delete) a key that was filtered by not matching the TYPE (changing it would mean TYPE filter starts behaving the same as MATCH filter already does in that respect). 2. when the specified key TYPE filter is an unknown type, server will reply a error immediately instead of doing a full scan that comes back empty handed. Benchmark result: For different scenarios, we obtained about 30% or more performance improvement. Co-authored-by: Oran Agra <oran@redislabs.com>
Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server
instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host
and --port
parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip
are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
Option | Impact |
---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_server
contexttags
context that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
Tag | Indicates |
---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode . |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not compatible with --tls . |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT REFCOUNT ). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE or BGSAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host
and --port
), filtering using the
external:skip
tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode
, filtering using the cluster:skip
tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory
, filtering using the largemem:skip
tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC
use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
