Implement Multi-Part AOF mechanism to avoid overheads during AOFRW. Introducing a folder with multiple AOF files tracked by a manifest file. The main issues with the the original AOFRW mechanism are: * buffering of commands that are processed during rewrite (consuming a lot of RAM) * freezes of the main process when the AOFRW completes to drain the remaining part of the buffer and fsync it. * double disk IO for the data that arrives during AOFRW (had to be written to both the old and new AOF files) The main modifications of this PR: 1. Remove the AOF rewrite buffer and related code. 2. Divide the AOF into multiple files, they are classified as two types, one is the the `BASE` type, it represents the full amount of data (Maybe AOF or RDB format) after each AOFRW, there is only one `BASE` file at most. The second is `INCR` type, may have more than one. They represent the incremental commands since the last AOFRW. 3. Use a AOF manifest file to record and manage these AOF files mentioned above. 4. The original configuration of `appendfilename` will be the base part of the new file name, for example: `appendonly.aof.1.base.rdb` and `appendonly.aof.2.incr.aof` 5. Add manifest-related TCL tests, and modified some existing tests that depend on the `appendfilename` 6. Remove the `aof_rewrite_buffer_length` field in info. 7. Add `aof-disable-auto-gc` configuration. By default we're automatically deleting HISTORY type AOFs. It also gives users the opportunity to preserve the history AOFs. just for testing use now. 8. Add AOFRW limiting measure. When the AOFRW failures reaches the threshold (3 times now), we will delay the execution of the next AOFRW by 1 minute. If the next AOFRW also fails, it will be delayed by 2 minutes. The next is 4, 8, 16, the maximum delay is 60 minutes (1 hour). During the limit period, we can still use the 'bgrewriteaof' command to execute AOFRW immediately. 9. Support upgrade (load) data from old version redis. 10. Add `appenddirname` configuration, as the directory name of the append only files. All AOF files and manifest file will be placed in this directory. 11. Only the last AOF file (BASE or INCR) can be truncated. Otherwise redis will exit even if `aof-load-truncated` is enabled. 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 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.
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
