Add `RM_RdbLoad()` and `RM_RdbSave()` to load/save RDB files from the module API.
In our use case, we have our clustering implementation as a module. As part of this
implementation, the module needs to trigger RDB save operation at specific points.
Also, this module delivers RDB files to other nodes (not using Redis' replication).
When a node receives an RDB file, it should be able to load the RDB. Currently,
there is no module API to save/load RDB files.
This PR adds four new APIs:
```c
RedisModuleRdbStream *RM_RdbStreamCreateFromFile(const char *filename);
void RM_RdbStreamFree(RedisModuleRdbStream *stream);
int RM_RdbLoad(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, RedisModuleRdbStream *stream, int flags);
int RM_RdbSave(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, RedisModuleRdbStream *stream, int flags);
```
The first step is to create a `RedisModuleRdbStream` object. This PR provides a function to
create RedisModuleRdbStream from the filename. (You can load/save RDB with the filename).
In the future, this API can be extended if needed:
e.g., `RM_RdbStreamCreateFromFd()`, `RM_RdbStreamCreateFromSocket()` to save/load
RDB from an `fd` or a `socket`.
Usage:
```c
/* Save RDB */
RedisModuleRdbStream *stream = RedisModule_RdbStreamCreateFromFile("example.rdb");
RedisModule_RdbSave(ctx, stream, 0);
RedisModule_RdbStreamFree(stream);
/* Load RDB */
RedisModuleRdbStream *stream = RedisModule_RdbStreamCreateFromFile("example.rdb");
RedisModule_RdbLoad(ctx, stream, 0);
RedisModule_RdbStreamFree(stream);
```
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
