# Description Gather most of the scattered `redisDb`-related code from the per-slot dict PR (#11695) and turn it to a new data structure, `kvstore`. i.e. it's a class that represents an array of dictionaries. # Motivation The main motivation is code cleanliness, the idea of using an array of dictionaries is very well-suited to becoming a self-contained data structure. This allowed cleaning some ugly code, among others: loops that run twice on the main dict and expires dict, and duplicate code for allocating and releasing this data structure. # Notes 1. This PR reverts the part of https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12848 where the `rehashing` list is global (handling rehashing `dict`s is under the responsibility of `kvstore`, and should not be managed by the server) 2. This PR also replaces the type of `server.pubsubshard_channels` from `dict**` to `kvstore` (original PR: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12804). After that was done, server.pubsub_channels was also chosen to be a `kvstore` (with only one `dict`, which seems odd) just to make the code cleaner by making it the same type as `server.pubsubshard_channels`, see `pubsubtype.serverPubSubChannels` 3. the keys and expires kvstores are currenlty configured to allocate the individual dicts only when the first key is added (unlike before, in which they allocated them in advance), but they won't release them when the last key is deleted. Worth mentioning that due to the recent change the reply of DEBUG HTSTATS changed, in case no keys were ever added to the db. before: ``` 127.0.0.1:6379> DEBUG htstats 9 [Dictionary HT] Hash table 0 stats (main hash table): No stats available for empty dictionaries [Expires HT] Hash table 0 stats (main hash table): No stats available for empty dictionaries ``` after: ``` 127.0.0.1:6379> DEBUG htstats 9 [Dictionary HT] [Expires HT] ```
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_servercontexttagscontext 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
