It is possible to get better results by using the pool like in the LRU
case. Also from tests during the morning I believe the current
implementation has issues in the frequency decay function that should
decrease the counter at periodic intervals.
The LRU eviction code used to make local choices: for each DB visited it
selected the best key to evict. This was repeated for each DB. However
this means that there could be DBs with very frequently accessed keys
that are targeted by the LRU algorithm while there were other DBs with
many better candidates to expire.
This commit attempts to fix this problem for the LRU policy. However the
TTL policy is still not fixed by this commit. The TTL policy will be
fixed in a successive commit.
This is an initial (partial because of TTL policy) fix for issue #2647.
To destroy and recreate the pool[].key element is slow, so we allocate
in pool[].cached SDS strings that can account up to 255 chars keys and
try to reuse them. This provides a solid 20% performance improvement
in real world workload alike benchmarks.
We start from the end of the pool to the initial item, zero-ing
every entry we use or every ghost entry, there is nothing to memmove
since to the right everything should be already set to NULL.
The rio structure is referenced in the global 'riostate' structure
in order for the logging functions to be always able to access the state
of the "pseudo-loading" of the RDB, needed for the check.

They were under /deps since they originate from a different source tree,
however at this point they are very modified and we took ownership of
both the files making changes, fixing bugs, so there is no upgrade path
from the original code tree.
Given that, better to move the code under /src with proper dependencies
and with a more simpler editing experience.
strict_strtoll() has a bug that reports the empty string as ok and
parses it as zero.
Apparently nobody ever replaced this old call with the faster/saner
string2ll() which is used otherwise in the rest of the Redis core.
This commit close#3333.
In issues #3361 / #3365 a problem was reported / fixed with redis-cli
not updating correctly the current DB on error after SELECT.
In theory this bug was fixed in 0042fb0e, but actually the commit only
fixed the prompt updating, not the fact the state was set in a wrong
way.
This commit removes the check in the prompt update, now that hopefully
it is the state that is correct, there is no longer need for this check.
This commit both fixes the crash reported with issue #3364 and
also properly closes the old links after the Sentinel address for the
other masters gets updated.
The two problems where:
1. The Sentinel that switched address may not monitor all the masters,
it is possible that there is no match, and the 'match' variable is
NULL. Now we check for no match and 'continue' to the next master.
2. By ispecting the code because of issue "1" I noticed that there was a
problem in the code that disconnects the link of the Sentinel that
needs the address update. Basically link->disconnected is non-zero
even if just *a single link* (cc -- command link or pc -- pubsub
link) are disconnected, so to check with if (link->disconnected)
in order to close the links risks to leave one link connected.
I was able to manually reproduce the crash at "1" and verify that the
commit resolves the issue.
Close#3364.
So far we used an external program (later executed within Redis) and
parser in order to check RDB files for correctness. This forces, at each
RDB format update, to have two copies of the same format implementation
that are hard to keep in sync. Morover the former RDB checker only
checked the very high-level format of the file, without actually trying
to load things in memory. Certain corruptions can only be handled by
really loading key-value pairs.
This first commit attempts to unify the Redis RDB loadig code with the
task of checking the RDB file for correctness. More work is needed but
it looks like a sounding direction so far.
The quicklist takes a cached version of the ziplist representation size
in bytes. The implementation must update this length every time the
underlying ziplist changes. However quicklistReplaceAtIndex() failed to
fix the length.
During LSET calls, the size of the ziplist blob and the cached size
inside the quicklist diverged. Later, when this size is used in an
authoritative way, for example during nodes splitting in order to copy
the nodes, we end with a duplicated node that may contain random
garbage.
This commit should fix issue #3343, however several problems were found
reviewing the quicklist.c code in search of this bug that should be
addressed soon or later.
For example:
1. To take a cached ziplist length is fragile since failing to update it
leads to this kind of issues.
2. The node splitting code needs auditing. For example it works just for
a side effect of ziplistDeleteRange() to be able to cope with a wrong
count of elements to remove. The code inside quicklist.c assumes that
-1 means "delete till the end" while actually it's just a count of how
many elements to delete, and is an unsigned count. So -1 gets converted
into the maximum integer, and just by chance the ziplist code stops
deleting elements after there are no more to delete.
3. Node splitting is extremely inefficient, it copies the node and
removes elements from both nodes even when actually there is to move a
single entry from one node to the other, or when the new resulting node
is empty at all so there is nothing to copy but just to create a new
node.
However at least for Redis 3.2 to introduce fresh code inside
quicklist.c may be even more risky, so instead I'm writing a better
fuzzy tester to stress the internals a bit more in order to anticipate
other possible bugs.
This bug was found using a fuzzy tester written after having some clue
about where the bug could be. The tester eventually created a ~2000
commands sequence able to always crash Redis. I wrote a better version
of the tester that searched for the smallest sequence that could crash
Redis automatically. Later this smaller sequence was minimized by
removing random commands till it still crashed the server. This resulted
into a sequence of 7 commands. With this small sequence it was just a
matter of filling the code with enough printf() to understand enough
state to fix the bug.
Display the nodes summary once the cluster is established using
redis-trib.rb
After the cluster meet and join was done, when the summary was shown, it
was giving info regarding the nodes. This fix ensures that confusion
where the slaves were shown as masters.
Fix would be to reset the nodes and reload the cluster information
before checking the cluster status after creating it.
This commit changes what provided by PR #3315 (merged) in order to
let the user specify the log level as a string.
The define could be also used, but when this happens, they must be
decoupled from the defines in the Redis core, like in the other part of
the Redis modules implementations, so that a switch statement (or a
function) remaps between the two, otherwise we are no longer free to
change the internal Redis defines.
Most of the time to check the last element is the way to go, however
there are patterns where the contrary is the best choice. Zig-zag
scanning implemented in this commmit always checks the obvious element
first (the last added -- think at a loop where the last element
allocated gets freed again and again), and continues checking one
element in the head and one in the tail.
Thanks to @dvisrky that fixed the original implementation of the
function and proposed zig zag scanning.
This bug most experienced effect was an inability of Redis to
reconfigure back old masters to slaves after they are reachable again
after a failover. This was due to failing to reset the count of the
pending commands properly, so the master appeared fovever down.
Was introduced in Redis 3.2 new Sentinel connection sharing feature
which is a lot more complex than the 3.0 code, but more scalable.
Many thanks to people reporting the issue, and especially to
@sskorgal for investigating the issue in depth.
Hopefully closes#3285.
I recently introduced populating the autocomplete help array with the
COMMAND command if available. However this was performed before parsing
the arguments, defaulting to instance 6379. After the connection is
performed it remains stable.
The effect is that if there is an instance running on port 6339,
whatever port you specify is ignored and 6379 is connected to instead.
The right port will be selected only after a reconnection.
Close#3314.
Reference issue #3218.
Checking the code I can't find a reason why the original RESTORE
code was so opinionated about restoring only the current version. The
code in to `rdb.c` appears to be capable as always to restore data from
older versions of Redis, and the only places where it is needed the
current version in order to correctly restore data, is while loading the
opcodes, not the values itself as it happens in the case of RESTORE.
For the above reasons, this commit enables RESTORE to accept older
versions of values payloads.
Comment format fixed + local var modified from camel case to underscore
separators as Redis code base normally does (camel case is mostly used
for global symbols like structure names, function names, global vars,
...).
Now that modules receive RedisModuleString objects on loading, they are
allowed to call the String API, so the context must be released
correctly.
Related to #3293.
All lists are now represented via quicklists.
Quicklists are never represented referencing robj structures, so trying
to compress their representation does not make sense. That the new way
is faster was experimentally verified with micro benchmarks in order to
prove that the intuition was correct.
Probably there is no compiler that will actaully break the code or raise
a signal for unsigned -> signed overflowing conversion, still it was
apparently possible to write it in a more correct way.
All tests passing.
Compiling Redis worked as a side effect of jemalloc target specifying
-ldl as needed linker options, otherwise it is not provided during
linking and dlopen() API will remain unresolved symbols.
In modules we fill a set of function pointers defined in redismodule.h,
populating a set of APIs that are callable from the module. We use this
manual process instead of resorting to dynamic linking so that we have
exact control on how we pass the API to the module, and we can even pass
different functions for the same name, depending on the API version
declared by the module.
However if the function pointers in redismodule.h and the functions
defined in module.c have the same name, they conflict since the core
exports the symbols to the module.
There is probably some compiler flags trick to avoid this, but in order
to be safer in the future and be more easily compatible with different
builidng systems, this commit changes the internal function prefix from
RedisModule_ to RM_, so for example:
RM_StringSet() will be exported as RedisModule_StringSet()
Use the COMMAND output to fill with partial information the built-in
help. This makes redis-cli able to at least complete commands that are
exported by the Redis server it is connected to, but were not available
in the help.h file when the redis-cli binary was compiled.
Fix a possible race condition of sdown event detection if sentinel's connection to master/slave/sentinel became disconnected just after the last PONG and before the next PING.
This fixes a bug introduced by d827dbf, and makes the code consistent
with the logic of always allowing, while the cluster is down, commands
that don't target any key.
As a side effect the code is also simpler now.
This fixes issue #3043.
Before this fix, after a complete resharding of a master slots
to other nodes, the master remains empty and the slaves migrate away
to other masters with non-zero nodes. However the old master now empty,
is no longer considered a target for migration, because the system has
no way to tell it had slaves in the past.
This fix leaves the algorithm used in the past untouched, but adds a
new rule. When a new or old master which is empty and without slaves,
are assigend with their first slot, if other masters in the cluster have
slaves, they are automatically considered to be targets for replicas
migration.
I've renamed maxmemoryToString to evictPolicyToString since that is
more accurate (and easier to mentally connect with the correct data), as
well as updated the function to user server.maxmemory_policy rather than
server.maxmemory. Now with a default config it is actually returning
the correct policy rather than volatile-lru.
This fix was suggested by Anthony LaTorre, that provided also a good
test case that was used to verify the fix.
The problem with the old implementation is that, the time returned by
a timer event (that is the time after it want to run again) is added
to the event *start time*. So if the event takes, in order to run, more
than the time it says it want to be scheduled again for running, an
infinite loop is triggered.
The new bitfield command is an extension to the Redis bit operations,
where not just single bit operations are performed, but the array of
bits composing a string, can be addressed at random, not aligned
offsets, with any width unsigned and signed integers like u8, s5, u10
(up to 64 bit signed integers and 63 bit unsigned integers).
The BITFIELD command supports subcommands that can SET, GET, or INCRBY
those arbitrary bit counters, with multiple overflow semantics.
Trivial and credits:
A similar command was imagined a few times in the past, but for
some reason looked a bit far fetched or not well specified.
Finally the command was proposed again in a clear form by
Yoav Steinberg from Redis Labs, that proposed a set of commands on
arbitrary sized integers stored at bit offsets.
Starting from this proposal I wrote an initial specification of a single
command with sub-commands similar to what Yoav envisioned, using short
names for types definitions, and adding control on the overflow.
This commit is the resulting implementation.
Examples:
BITFIELD mykey OVERFLOW wrap INCRBY i2 10 -1 GET i2 10
CLUSTER SLOTS now includes IDs in the nodes description associated with
a given slot range. Certain client libraries implementations need a way
to reference a node in an unique way, so they were relying on CLUSTER
NODES, that is not a stable API and may change frequently depending on
Redis Cluster future requirements.
1. Bug #3035 is fixed (NULL pointer access). This was happening with the
folling set of conditions:
* For some reason one of the Sentinels, let's call it Sentinel_A, changed ID (reconfigured from scratch), but is as the same address at which it used to be.
* Sentinel_A performs a failover and/or has a newer configuration compared to another Sentinel, that we call, Sentinel_B.
* Sentinel_B receives an HELLO message from Sentinel_A, where the address and/or ID is mismatched, but it is reporting a newer configuration for the master they are both monitoring.
2. Sentinels now must have an ID otherwise they are not loaded nor persisted in the configuration. This allows to have conflicting Sentinels with the same address since now the master->sentinels dictionary is indexed by Sentinel ID.
3. The code now detects if a Sentinel is annoucing itself with an IP/port pair already busy (of another Sentinel). The old Sentinel that had the same port/pair is set as having port 0, that means, the address is invalid. We may discover the right address later via HELLO messages.
The change covers the case where:
1. There is a node we can't reach (in fail or pfail state).
2. We see a different address for this node, in the gossip section sent
to us by a node that, instead, is able to talk with the node we cannot
talk to.
In this case it's a good bet to switch to the address reported by this
node, since there was an address switch and it is able to talk with the
node and we are not.
However previosuly this was done in a dangerous way, by initiating an
handshake. The handshake, using the MEET packet, forces the receiver to
join our cluster, and this is not a good idea. If the node in question
really just switched address, but is the same node, it already knows about
us, so we just need to perform an address update and a reconnection.
So with this commit instead we just update the address of the node,
release the node link if any, and attempt to reconnect in the next
clusterCron() cycle.
The commit also improves debugging messages printed by Cluster during
address or ID switches.
Another leak was fixed in the case of syntax error by restructuring the
allocation strategy for the two dynamic vectors.
We also make sure to always close the cached socket on I/O errors so that
all the I/O errors are handled the same, even if we had a previously
queued error of a different kind from the destination server.
Thanks to Kevin McGehee. Related to issue #3016.
In issue #3016 Kevin McGehee identified multiple very serious issues in
the new implementation of MIGRATE. This commit attempts to restructure
the code in oder to avoid mistakes, an analysis of the new
implementation is in progress in order to check for possible edge cases.
With this commit we preserve the list of nodes that have .slaveof set
to the node, even when the node is turned into a slave, and make sure to
fix the .slaveof pointers to NULL when a node is freed from memory,
regardless of the fact it's a slave or a master.
Basically we try to remember the logical master in the current
configuration even if the logical master advertised it as a slave
already. However we still remember the associations, so that when a node
is freed we can fix them.
This should fix issue #3002.
Sometimes during "fixes" we have to setup a new configuration and assign
slots to nodes. With BUMPEPOCH we can make sure the new configuration of
the node will win if there are conflicting configurations (for example
another node is *also* claiming the same slot because the cluster is
totally messed up).
This fix, provided by Paul Kulchenko (@pkulchenko), allows the Lua
scripting engine to evaluate statements with a trailing comment like the
following one:
EVAL "print() --comment" 0
Lua can't parse the above if the string does not end with a newline, so
now a final newline is always added automatically. This does not change
the SHA1 of scripts since the SHA1 is computed on the body we pass to
EVAL, without the other code we add to register the function.
Close#2951.
Extend the MIGRATE extra freedom to be able to be called in the context
of the local slot, anytime there is a slot open in one or the other
direction (importing or migrating). This is useful for redis-trib to fix
the cluster when it has in an odd state.
Thix fix allows "redis-trib fix" to make its work in certain cases where
previously an error was reported.
Previously it was possible to activate a debugging session only using
the --ldb option in redis-cli. Now calling SCRIPT DEBUG can also
activate the debugging mode without putting the redis-cli in a
desynchronized state.
Related to #2952.
Example of offending code:
> script debug yes
OK
> eval "local a = {1} a[1] = a\nprint(a)" 0
1) * Stopped at 1, stop reason = step over
2) -> 1 local a = {1} a[1] = a
> next
1) * Stopped at 2, stop reason = step over
2) -> 2 print(a)
> print
... server crash ...
Close#2955.
An exposed Redis instance on the internet can be cause of serious
issues. Since Redis, by default, binds to all the interfaces, it is easy
to forget an instance without any protection layer, for error.
Protected mode try to address this feature in a soft way, providing a
layer of protection, but giving clues to Redis users about why the
server is not accepting connections.
When protected mode is enabeld (the default), and if there are no
minumum hints about the fact the server is properly configured (no
"bind" directive is used in order to restrict the server to certain
interfaces, nor a password is set), clients connecting from external
intefaces are refused with an error explaining what to do in order to
fix the issue.
Clients connecting from the IPv4 and IPv6 lookback interfaces are still
accepted normally, similarly Unix domain socket connections are not
restricted in any way.
For non existing keys, we don't want to send -ASK redirections to
MIGRATE, since when moving slots from the migrating node to the
importing node, we want just to ignore keys that are no longer there.
They may be expired or deleted between the GETKEYSINSLOT call and the
MIGRATE call. Otherwise this causes an error during migrations with
redis-trib (or equivalent cluster management tools).
In issue #2948 a crash was reported in processCommand(). Later Oran Agra
(@oranagra) traced the bug (in private chat) in the following sequence
of events:
1. Some maxmemory is set.
2. The slave is the currently active client and is executing PING or
REPLCONF or whatever a slave can send to its master.
3. freeMemoryIfNeeded() is called since maxmemory is set.
4. flushSlavesOutputBuffers() is called by freeMemoryIfNeeded().
5. During slaves buffers flush, a write error could be encoutered in
writeToClient() or sendReplyToClient() depending on the version of
Redis. This will trigger freeClient() against the currently active
client, so a segmentation fault will likely happen in
processCommand() immediately after the call to freeMemoryIfNeeded().
There are different possible fixes:
1. Add flags to writeToClient() (recent versions code base) so that
we can ignore the write errors, and use this flag in
flushSlavesOutputBuffers(). However this is not simple to do in older
versions of Redis.
2. Use freeClientAsync() during write errors. This works but changes the
current behavior of releasing clients ASAP when possible. Normally
we write to clients during the normal event loop processing, in the
writable client, where there is no active client, so no care must be
taken.
3. The fix of this commit: to detect that the current client is no
longer valid. This fix is a bit "ad-hoc", but works across all the
versions and has the advantage of not changing the remaining
behavior. Only alters what happens during this race condition,
hopefully.
The old test, designed to do a transformation on the bits that was
invertible, in order to avoid touching the original memory content, was
not effective as it was redis-server --test-memory. The former often
reported OK while the latter was able to spot the error.
So the test was substituted with one that may perform better, however
the new one must backup the memory tested, so it tests memory in small
pieces. This limits the effectiveness because of the CPU caches. However
some attempt is made in order to trash the CPU cache between the fill
and the check stages, but not for the addressing test unfortunately.
We'll see if this test will be able to find errors where the old failed.
We use the new variadic/pipelined MIGRATE for faster migration.
Testing is not easy because to see the time it takes for a slot to be
migrated requires a very large data set, but even with all the overhead
of migrating multiple slots and to setup them properly, what used to
take 4 seconds (1 million keys, 200 slots migrated) is now 1.6 which is
a good improvement. However the improvement can be a lot larger if:
1. We use large datasets where a single slot has many keys.
2. By moving more than 10 keys per iteration, making this configurable,
which is planned.
Close#2710Close#2711
We need to process replies after errors in order to delete keys
successfully transferred. Also argument rewriting was fixed since
it was broken in several ways. Now a fresh argument vector is created
and set if we are acknowledged of at least one key.
We wait a fixed amount of time (5 seconds currently) much greater than
the usual Cluster node to node communication latency, before migrating.
This way when a failover occurs, before detecting the new master as a
target for migration, we give the time to its natural slaves (the slaves
of the failed over master) to announce they switched to the new master,
preventing an useless migration operation.
Some time ago I broken replicas migration (reported in #2924).
The idea was to prevent masters without replicas from getting replicas
because of replica migration, I remember it to create issues with tests,
but there is no clue in the commit message about why it was so
undesirable.
However my patch as a side effect totally ruined the concept of replicas
migration since we want it to work also for instances that, technically,
never had slaves in the past: promoted slaves.
So now instead the ability to be targeted by replicas migration, is a
new flag "migrate-to". It only applies to masters, and is set in the
following two cases:
1. When a master gets a slave, it is set.
2. When a slave turns into a master because of fail over, it is set.
This way replicas migration targets are only masters that used to have
slaves, and slaves of masters (that used to have slaves... obviously)
and are promoted.
The new flag is only internal, and is never exposed in the output nor
persisted in the nodes configuration, since all the information to
handle it are implicit in the cluster configuration we already have.
Now we have a single function to call in any state of the slave
handshake, instead of using different functions for different states
which is error prone. Change performed in the context of issue #2479 but
does not fix it, since should be functionally identical to the past.
Just an attempt to make replication.c simpler to follow.
There are some cases of printing unsigned integer with %d conversion
specificator and vice versa (signed integer with %u specificator).
Patch by Sergey Polovko. Backported to Redis from Disque.
My guess was that wait3() with WNOHANG could never return -1 and an
error. However issue #2897 may possibly indicate that this could happen
under non clear conditions. While we try to understand this better,
better to handle a return value of -1 explicitly, otherwise in the
case a BGREWRITE is in progress but wait3() returns -1, the effect is to
match the first branch of the if/else block since server.rdb_child_pid
is -1, and call backgroundSaveDoneHandler() without a good reason, that
will, in turn, crash the Redis server with an assertion.
Now it lists code around the current position by default. Can list any
other part using other arguments, but a new "whole" command was added in
order to show the whole source code easily.
Redis-cli handles the debugger "eval" command in a special way since
sdssplitargs() would not be ok: we need to send the Redis debugger the
whole Lua script without any parsing. However in order to later free the
argument vector inside redis-cli using just sdsfreesplitres(), we need
to allocate the array of SDS pointers using the same allocator SDS is
using, that may differ to what Redis is using.
So now a newer version of SDS exports sds_malloc() and other allocator
functions to give access, to the program it is linked to, the allocator
used internally by SDS.
When the debugger exits now it produces an <endsession> tag that informs
redis-cli (or other debugging clients) that the session terminated.
This way the client knows there is yet another reply to read (the one of
the EVAL script itself), and can switch to non-debugging mode ASAP.
It's handly to just eval "5+5" without the return and see it printed on
the screen as result. However prepending "return" does not always result
into valid Lua code. So what we do is to exploit a common Lua community
trick of trying to compile with return prepended, and if compilation
fails then it's not an expression that can be returned, so we try again
without prepending "return". Works great apparently.
Maybe there are legitimate use cases for MIGRATE inside Lua scripts, at
least for now. When the command will be executed in an asynchronous
fashion (planned) it is possible we'll no longer be able to permit it
from within Lua scripts.
Thanks to Oran Agra (@oranagra) for reporting. Key extraction would not
work otherwise and it does not make sense to take wrong data in the
command table.
The old version only flushed data to slaves if there were strings
pending in the client->reply list. Now also static buffers are flushed.
Does not help to free memory (which is the only use we have right now in
the fuction), but is more correct conceptually, and may be used in
other contexts.
Arguments arity and arguments type error of redis.call() were not
reported correctly to Lua, so the command acted in this regard like
redis.pcall(), but just for two commands. Redis.call() should always
raise errors instead.
During the refactoring needed for lazy free, specifically the conversion
of t_hash from struct robj to plain SDS strings, HINCRBFLOAT was
accidentally moved away from long doubles to doubles for internal
processing of increments and formatting.
The diminished precision created more obvious artifacts in the way small
numbers are formatted once we convert from decimal number in radix 10 to
double and back to its string in radix 10.
By using more precision, we now have less surprising results at least
with small numbers like "1.23", exactly like in the previous versions of
Redis.
See issue #2846.
Currently this feature is only accessible via DEBUG for testing, since
otherwise depending on the instance configuration a given script works
or is broken, which is against the Redis philosophy.
By calling redis.replicate_commands(), the scripting engine of Redis
switches to commands replication instead of replicating whole scripts.
This is useful when the script execution is costly but only results in a
few writes performed to the dataset.
Morover, in this mode, it is possible to call functions with side
effects freely, since the script execution does not need to be
deterministic: anyway we'll capture the outcome from the point of view
of changes to the dataset.
In this mode math.random() returns different sequences at every call.
If redis.replicate_commnads() is not called before any other write, the
command returns false and sticks to whole scripts replication instead.
Sometimes it can be useful for clients to completely disable replies
from the Redis server. For example when the client sends fire and forget
commands or performs a mass loading of data, or in caching contexts
where new data is streamed constantly. In such contexts to use server
time and bandwidth in order to send back replies to clients, which are
going to be ignored, is a shame.
Multiple mechanisms are possible to implement such a feature. For
example it could be a feature of MULTI/EXEC, or a command prefix
such as "NOREPLY SADD myset foo", or a different mechanism that allows
to switch on/off requests using the CLIENT command.
The MULTI/EXEC approach has the problem that transactions are not
strictly part of the no-reply semantics, and if we want to insert a lot
of data in a bulk way, creating a huge MULTI/EXEC transaction in the
server memory is bad.
The prefix is the best in this specific use case since it does not allow
desynchronizations, and is pretty clear semantically. However Redis
internals and client libraries are not prepared to handle this
currently.
So the implementation uses the CLIENT command, providing a new REPLY
subcommand with three options:
CLIENT REPLY OFF disables the replies, and does not reply itself.
CLIENT REPLY ON re-enables the replies, replying +OK.
CLIENT REPLY SKIP only discards the reply of the next command, and
like OFF does not reply anything itself.
The reason to add the SKIP command is that it allows to have an easy
way to send conceptually "single" commands that don't need a reply
as the sum of two pipelined commands:
CLIENT REPLY SKIP
SET key value
Note that CLIENT REPLY ON replies with +OK so it should be used when
sending multiple commands that don't need a reply. However since it
replies with +OK the client can check that the connection is still
active and all the previous commands were received.
This is currently just into Redis "unstable" so the proposal can be
modified or abandoned based on users inputs.
This new function is able to restart the server "in place". The current
Redis process executes the same executable it was executed with, using
the same arguments and configuration file.
the check for lat/long valid ranges were performed inside the for loop,
two times instead of one, and the first time when the second element of
the array, xy[1], was yet not populated. This resulted into issue #2799.
Close issue #2799.
We have them into zmalloc.c, but this is going to replace that
implementation, so that it's possible to use the same idea everywhere
inside the code base.
After the introduction of the list with clients with pending writes, to
process clients incrementally outside of the event loop we also need to
process the pending writes list.
The code was broken and resulted in redis-cli --pipe to, most of the
times, writing everything received in the standard input to the Redis
connection socket without ever reading back the replies, until all the
content to write was written.
This means that Redis had to accumulate all the output in the output
buffers of the client, consuming a lot of memory.
Fixed thanks to the original report of anomalies in the behavior
provided by Twitter user @fsaintjacques.
Georadius works by computing the center + neighbors squares covering all
the area of the specified position and radius. Then a distance filter is
used to remove elements which are actually outside the range.
When a huge radius is used, like 5000 km or more, adjacent neighbors may
collide and be the same, leading to the reporting of the same element
multiple times. This only happens in the edge case of huge radius but is
not ideal.
A robust but slow solution would involve qsorting the range to remove
all the duplicates. However since the collisions are only in adjacent
boxes, for the way they are ordered in the code, it is much faster to
just check if the current box is the same as the previous one processed.
This commit adds a regression test for the bug.
Fixes#2767.
MOVE was not able to move the TTL: when a key was moved into a different
database number, it became persistent like if PERSIST was used.
In some incredible way (I guess almost nobody uses Redis MOVE) this bug
remained unnoticed inside Redis internals for many years.
Finally Andy Grunwald discovered it and opened an issue.
This commit fixes the bug and adds a regression test.
Close#2765.
As Oran Agra suggested, in startBgsaveForReplication() when the BGSAVE
attempt returns an error, we scan the list of slaves in order to remove
them since there is no way to serve them currently.
However we check for the replication state BGSAVE_START, which was
modified by rdbSaveToSlaveSockets() before forking(). So when fork fails
the state of slaves remain BGSAVE_END and no cleanup is performed.
This commit fixes the problem by making rdbSaveToSlavesSockets() able to
undo the state change on fork failure.
Before this commit, after triggering a BGSAVE it was up to the caller of
startBgsavForReplication() to handle slaves in WAIT_BGSAVE_START in
order to update them accordingly. However when the replication target is
the socket, this is not possible since the process of updating the
slaves and sending the FULLRESYNC reply must be coupled with the process
of starting an RDB save (the reason is, we need to send the FULLSYNC
command and spawn a child that will start to send RDB data to the slaves
ASAP).
This commit moves the responsibility of handling slaves in
WAIT_BGSAVE_START to startBgsavForReplication() so that for both
diskless and disk-based replication we have the same chain of
responsiblity. In order accomodate such change, the syncCommand() also
needs to put the client in the slave list ASAP (just after the initial
checks) and not at the end, so that startBgsavForReplication() can find
the new slave alrady in the list.
Another related change is what happens if the BGSAVE fails because of
fork() or other errors: we now remove the slave from the list of slaves
and send an error, scheduling the slave connection to be terminated.
As a side effect of this change the following errors found by
Oran Agra are fixed (thanks!):
1. rdbSaveToSlavesSockets() on failed fork will get the slaves cleaned
up, otherwise they remain in a wrong state forever since we setup them
for full resync before actually trying to fork.
2. updateSlavesWaitingBgsave() with replication target set as "socket"
was broken since the function changed the slaves state from
WAIT_BGSAVE_START to WAIT_BGSAVE_END via
replicationSetupSlaveForFullResync(), so later rdbSaveToSlavesSockets()
will not find any slave in the right state (WAIT_BGSAVE_START) to feed.
It is simpler if removing the read event handler from the FD is up to
slaveTryPartialResynchronization, after all it is only called in the
context of syncWithMaster.
This commit also makes sure that on error all the event handlers are
removed from the socket before closing it.
Talking with @oranagra we had to reason a little bit to understand if
this function could ever flush the output buffers of the wrong slaves,
having online state but actually not being ready to receive writes
before the first ACK is received from them (this happens with diskless
replication).
Next time we'll just read this comment.
Add the concept of slaves capabilities to Redis, the slave now presents
to the Redis master with a set of capabilities in the form:
REPLCONF capa SOMECAPA capa OTHERCAPA ...
This has the effect of setting slave->slave_capa with the corresponding
SLAVE_CAPA macros that the master can test later to understand if it
the slave will understand certain formats and protocols of the
replication process. This makes it much simpler to introduce new
replication capabilities in the future in a way that don't break old
slaves or masters.
This patch was designed and implemented together with Oran Agra
(@oranagra).
Our function to read a line with a timeout handles newlines as requests
to refresh the timeout, however the code kept subtracting the buffer
size left every time a newline was received, for a bug in the loop
logic. Fixed by this commit.
For PINGs we use the period configured by the user, but for the newlines
of slaves waiting for an RDB to be created (including slaves waiting for
the FULLRESYNC reply) we need to ping with frequency of 1 second, since
the timeout is fixed and needs to be refreshed.
In previous commits we moved the FULLRESYNC to the moment we start the
BGSAVE, so that the offset we provide is the right one. However this
also means that we need to re-emit the SELECT statement every time a new
slave starts to accumulate the changes.
To obtian this effect in a more clean way, the function that sends the
FULLRESYNC reply was overloaded with a more important role of also doing
this and chanigng the slave state. So it was renamed to
replicationSetupSlaveForFullResync() to better reflect what it does now.
This commit attempts to fix a bug involving PSYNC and diskless
replication (currently experimental) found by Yuval Inbar from Redis Labs
and that was later found to have even more far reaching effects (the bug also
exists when diskstore is off).
The gist of the bug is that, a Redis master replies with +FULLRESYNC to
a PSYNC attempt that fails and requires a full resynchronization.
However, the baseline offset sent along with FULLRESYNC was always the
current master replication offset. This is not ok, because there are
many reasosn that may delay the RDB file creation. And... guess what,
the master offset we communicate must be the one of the time the RDB
was created. So for example:
1) When the BGSAVE for replication is delayed since there is one
already but is not good for replication.
2) When the BGSAVE is not needed as we attach one currently ongoing.
3) When because of diskless replication the BGSAVE is delayed.
In all the above cases the PSYNC reply is wrong and the slave may
reconnect later claiming to need a wrong offset: this may cause
data curruption later.
Using chained replication where C is slave of B which is in turn slave of
A, if B reconnects the replication link with A but discovers it is no
longer possible to PSYNC, slaves of B must be disconnected and PSYNC
not allowed, since the new B dataset may be completely different after
the synchronization with the master.
Note that there are varius semantical differences in the way this is
handled now compared to the past. In the past the semantics was:
1. When a slave lost connection with its master, disconnected the chained
slaves ASAP. Which is not needed since after a successful PSYNC with the
master, the slaves can continue and don't need to resync in turn.
2. However after a failed PSYNC the replication backlog was not reset, so a
slave was able to PSYNC successfully even if the instance did a full
sync with its master, containing now an entirely different data set.
Now instead chained slaves are not disconnected when the slave lose the
connection with its master, but only when it is forced to full SYNC with
its master. This means that if the slave having chained slaves does a
successful PSYNC all its slaves can continue without troubles.
See issue #2694 for more details.
When empty strings are created, or when sdsMakeRoomFor() is called, we
are likely into an appending pattern. Use at least type 8 SDS strings
since TYPE 5 does not remember the free allocation size and requires to
call sdsMakeRoomFor() at every new piece appended.
The previos attempt to process each client at least once every ten
seconds was not a good idea, because:
1. Usually because of the past min iterations set to 50, you get much
better processing period most of the times.
2. However when there are many clients and a normal setting for
server.hz, the edge case is triggered, and waiting 10 seconds for a
BLPOP that asked for 1 second is not ok.
3. Moreover, because of the high min-itereations limit of 50, when HZ
was set to an high value, the actual behavior was to process a lot of
clients per second.
Also the function checking for timeouts called gettimeofday() at each
iteration which can be costly.
The new implementation will try to process each client once per second,
gets the current time as argument, and does not attempt to process more
than 5 clients per iteration if not needed.
So now:
1. The CPU usage of an idle Redis process is the same or better.
2. The CPU usage of a busy Redis process is the same or better.
3. However a non trivial amount of work may be performed per iteration
when there are many many clients. In this particular case the user may
want to raise the "HZ" value if needed.
Btw with 4000 clients it was still not possible to noticy any actual
latency created by processing 400 clients per second, since the work
performed for each client is pretty small.
This is an attempt to use the refcount feature of the sds.c fork
provided in the Pull Request #2509. A new type, SDS_TYPE_5 is introduced
having a one byte header with just the string length, without
information about the available additional length at the end of the
string (this means that sdsMakeRoomFor() will be required each time
we want to append something, since the string will always report to have
0 bytes available).
More work needed in order to avoid common SDS functions will pay the
cost of this type. For example both sdscatprintf() and sdscatfmt()
should try to upgrade to SDS_TYPE_8 ASAP when appending chars.
The command reports information about the hash table internal state
representing the specified database ID.
This can be used in order to investigate rehashings, memory usage issues
and for other debugging purposes.
The new return value is the number of keys existing, among the ones
specified in the command line, counting the same key multiple times if
given multiple times (and if it exists).
See PR #2667.
Rationale:
1. The commands look like internals exposed without a real strong use
case.
2. Whatever there is an use case, the client would implement the
commands client side instead of paying RTT just to use a simple to
reimplement library.
3. They add complexity to an otherwise quite straightforward API.
So for now KILLED ;-)
Instead of successive divisions in iteration the new code uses bitwise
magic to interleave / deinterleave two 32bit values into a 64bit one.
All tests still passing and is measurably faster, so worth it.
Stack traces produced by Redis on crash are the most useful tool we
have to fix non easily reproducible crashes, or even easily reproducible
ones where the user just posts a bug report and does not collaborate
furhter.
By declaring functions "static" they no longer show up in the stack
trace.
If GEOENCODE must be our door to enter the Geocoding implementation
details and do fancy things client side, than return the scores as well
so that we can query the sorted sets directly if we wish to do the same
search multiple times, or want to compute the boxes in the client side
to refine our search needs.
The GIS standard and all the major DBs implementing GIS related
functions take coordinates as x,y that is longitude,latitude.
It was a bad start for Redis to do things differently, so even if this
means that existing users of the Geo module will be required to change
their code, Redis now conforms to the standard.
Usually Redis is very backward compatible, but this is not an exception
to this rule, since this is the first Geo implementation entering the
official Redis source code. It is not wise to try to be backward
compatible with code forks... :-)
