Stream consumers: Re-purpose seen-time, add active-time (#11099)
1. "Fixed" the current code so that seen-time/idle actually refers to interaction
  attempts (as documented; breaking change)
2. Added active-time/inactive to refer to successful interaction (what
  seen-time/idle used to be)

At first, I tried to avoid changing the behavior of seen-time/idle but then realized
that, in this case, the odds are the people read the docs and implemented their
code based on the docs (which didn't match the behavior).
For the most part, that would work fine, except that issue #9996 was found.

I was working under the assumption that people relied on the docs, and for
the most part, it could have worked well enough. so instead of fixing the docs,
as I would usually do, I fixed the code to match the docs in this particular case.

Note that, in case the consumer has never read any entries, the values
for both "active-time" (XINFO FULL) and "inactive" (XINFO CONSUMERS) will
be -1, meaning here that the consumer was never active.

Note that seen/active time is only affected by XREADGROUP / X[AUTO]CLAIM, not
by XPENDING, XINFO, and other "read-only" stream CG commands (always has been,
even before this PR)

Other changes:
* Another behavioral change (arguably a bugfix) is that XREADGROUP and X[AUTO]CLAIM
  create the consumer regardless of whether it was able to perform some reading/claiming
* RDB format change to save the `active_time`, and set it to the same value of `seen_time` in old rdb files.

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 context
  • tags 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
