This PR optimizes client query buffer handling in Valkey by introducing a shared query buffer that is used by default for client reads. This reduces memory usage by ~20KB per client by avoiding allocations for most clients using short (<16KB) complete commands. For larger or partial commands, the client still gets its own private buffer. The primary changes are: * Adding a shared query buffer `shared_qb` that clients use by default * Modifying client querybuf initialization and reset logic * Copying any partial query from shared to private buffer before command execution * Freeing idle client query buffers when empty to allow reuse of shared buffer * Master client query buffers are kept private as their contents need to be preserved for replication stream In addition to the memory savings, this change shows a 3% improvement in latency and throughput when running with 1000 active clients. The memory reduction may also help reduce the need to evict clients when reaching max memory limit, as the query buffer is the main memory consumer per client. --------- Signed-off-by: Uri Yagelnik <uriy@amazon.com> Signed-off-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com>
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_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
