## Intro The purpose is to allow having different flags/ACL categories for subcommands (Example: CONFIG GET is ok-loading but CONFIG SET isn't) We create a small command table for every command that has subcommands and each subcommand has its own flags, etc. (same as a "regular" command) This commit also unites the Redis and the Sentinel command tables ## Affected commands CONFIG Used to have "admin ok-loading ok-stale no-script" Changes: 1. Dropped "ok-loading" in all except GET (this doesn't change behavior since there were checks in the code doing that) XINFO Used to have "read-only random" Changes: 1. Dropped "random" in all except CONSUMERS XGROUP Used to have "write use-memory" Changes: 1. Dropped "use-memory" in all except CREATE and CREATECONSUMER COMMAND No changes. MEMORY Used to have "random read-only" Changes: 1. Dropped "random" in PURGE and USAGE ACL Used to have "admin no-script ok-loading ok-stale" Changes: 1. Dropped "admin" in WHOAMI, GENPASS, and CAT LATENCY No changes. MODULE No changes. SLOWLOG Used to have "admin random ok-loading ok-stale" Changes: 1. Dropped "random" in RESET OBJECT Used to have "read-only random" Changes: 1. Dropped "random" in ENCODING and REFCOUNT SCRIPT Used to have "may-replicate no-script" Changes: 1. Dropped "may-replicate" in all except FLUSH and LOAD CLIENT Used to have "admin no-script random ok-loading ok-stale" Changes: 1. Dropped "random" in all except INFO and LIST 2. Dropped "admin" in ID, TRACKING, CACHING, GETREDIR, INFO, SETNAME, GETNAME, and REPLY STRALGO No changes. PUBSUB No changes. CLUSTER Changes: 1. Dropped "admin in countkeysinslots, getkeysinslot, info, nodes, keyslot, myid, and slots SENTINEL No changes. (note that DEBUG also fits, but we decided not to convert it since it's for debugging and anyway undocumented) ## New sub-command This commit adds another element to the per-command output of COMMAND, describing the list of subcommands, if any (in the same structure as "regular" commands) Also, it adds a new subcommand: ``` COMMAND LIST [FILTERBY (MODULE <module-name>|ACLCAT <cat>|PATTERN <pattern>)] ``` which returns a set of all commands (unless filters), but excluding subcommands. ## Module API A new module API, RM_CreateSubcommand, was added, in order to allow module writer to define subcommands ## ACL changes: 1. Now, that each subcommand is actually a command, each has its own ACL id. 2. The old mechanism of allowed_subcommands is redundant (blocking/allowing a subcommand is the same as blocking/allowing a regular command), but we had to keep it, to support the widespread usage of allowed_subcommands to block commands with certain args, that aren't subcommands (e.g. "-select +select|0"). 3. I have renamed allowed_subcommands to allowed_firstargs to emphasize the difference. 4. Because subcommands are commands in ACL too, you can now use "-" to block subcommands (e.g. "+client -client|kill"), which wasn't possible in the past. 5. It is also possible to use the allowed_firstargs mechanism with subcommand. For example: `+config -config|set +config|set|loglevel` will block all CONFIG SET except for setting the log level. 6. All of the ACL changes above required some amount of refactoring. ## Misc 1. There are two approaches: Either each subcommand has its own function or all subcommands use the same function, determining what to do according to argv[0]. For now, I took the former approaches only with CONFIG and COMMAND, while other commands use the latter approach (for smaller blamelog diff). 2. Deleted memoryGetKeys: It is no longer needed because MEMORY USAGE now uses the "range" key spec. 4. Bugfix: GETNAME was missing from CLIENT's help message. 5. Sentinel and Redis now use the same table, with the same function pointer. Some commands have a different implementation in Sentinel, so we redirect them (these are ROLE, PUBLISH, and INFO). 6. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (e.g. instead of stats just for "config" you will have stats for "config|set", "config|get", etc.) 7. It is now possible to use COMMAND directly on subcommands: COMMAND INFO CONFIG|GET (The pipeline syntax was inspired from ACL, and can be used in functions lookupCommandBySds and lookupCommandByCString) 8. STRALGO is now a container command (has "help") ## Breaking changes: 1. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (see (5) above)
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. |
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 . |
tls:skip |
Not campatible 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 ). |
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 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.
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
