Make cluster replicas return ASK and TRYAGAIN (#495)
After READONLY, make a cluster replica behave as its primary regarding
returning ASK redirects and TRYAGAIN.

Without this patch, a client reading from a replica cannot tell if a key
doesn't exist or if it has already been migrated to another shard as
part of an ongoing slot migration. Therefore, without an ASK redirect in
this situation, offloading reads to cluster replicas wasn't reliable.

Note: The target of a redirect is always a primary. If a client wants to
continue reading from a replica after following a redirect, it needs to
figure out the replicas of that new primary using CLUSTER SHARDS or
similar.

This is related to #21 and has been made possible by the introduction of
Replication of Slot Migration States in #445.

----

Release notes:

During cluster slot migration, replicas are able to return -ASK
redirects and -TRYAGAIN.

Valkey Test Suite

The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating local valkey-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 Valkey 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
