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.
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.
Not perfect since The Solution IMHO is to have a DSL with a table of
configuration functions with type, limits, and aux functions to handle
the odd ones. However this hacky macro solution is already better and
forces to put limits in the range of numerical fields.
More field types to be refactored in the next commits hopefully.
Adds configuration option 'supervised [no | upstart | systemd | auto]'
Also removed 'bzero' from the previous implementation because it's 2015.
(We could actually statically initialize those structs, but clang
throws an invalid warning when we try, so it looks bad even though it
isn't bad.)
Fixes#2264
This removes:
- list-max-ziplist-entries
- list-max-ziplist-value
This adds:
- list-max-ziplist-size
- list-compress-depth
Also updates config file with new sections and updates
tests to use quicklist settings instead of old list settings.
The original implementation was modified in order to allow to
selectively announce a different IP or port, and to rewrite the two
options in the config file after a rewrite.
Because of output buffer limits Redis internals had this idea of type of
clients: normal, pubsub, slave. It is possible to set different output
buffer limits for the three kinds of clients.
However all the macros and API were named after output buffer limit
classes, while the idea of a client type is a generic one that can be
reused.
This commit does two things:
1) Rename the API and defines with more general names.
2) Change the class of clients executing the MONITOR command from "slave"
to "normal".
"2" is a good idea because you want to have very special settings for
slaves, that are not a good idea for MONITOR clients that are instead
normal clients even if they are conceptually slave-alike (since it is a
push protocol).
The backward-compatibility breakage resulting from "2" is considered to
be minimal to care, since MONITOR is a debugging command, and because
anyway this change is not going to break the format or the behavior, but
just when a connection is closed on big output buffer issues.
Everywhere in the Redis code base, maxclients is treated
as an int with (int)maxclients or `maxclients = atoi(source)`,
so let's make maxclients an int.
This fixes a bug where someone could specify a negative maxclients
on startup and it would work (as well as set maxclients very high)
because:
unsigned int maxclients;
char *update = "-300";
maxclients = atoi(update);
if (maxclients < 1) goto fail;
But, (maxclients < 1) can only catch the case when maxclients
is exactly 0. maxclients happily sets itself to -300, which isn't
-300, but rather 4294966996, which isn't < 1, so... everything
"worked."
maxclients config parsing checks for the case of < 1, but maxclients
CONFIG SET parsing was checking for case of < 0 (allowing
maxclients to be set to 0). CONFIG SET parsing is now updated to
match config parsing of < 1.
It's tempting to add a MINIMUM_CLIENTS define, but... I didn't.
These changes were inspired by antirez#356, but this doesn't
fix that issue.
This value needs to be set to zero (in addition to
stat_numcommands) or else people may see
a negative operations per second count after they
run CONFIG RESETSTAT.

In high RPS environments, the default listen backlog is not sufficient, so
giving users the power to configure it is the right approach, especially
since it requires only minor modifications to the code.
There were two problems with the implementation.
1) "save" was not correctly processed when no save point was configured,
as reported in issue #1416.
2) The way the code checked if an option existed in the "processed"
dictionary was wrong, as we add the element with as a key associated
with a NULL value, so dictFetchValue() can't be used to check for
existance, but dictFind() must be used, that returns NULL only if the
entry does not exist at all.
With this commit options not explicitly rewritten by CONFIG REWRITE are
not touched at all. These include new options that may not have support
for REWRITE, and other special cases like rename-command and include.
At the end of the file, CONFIG REWRITE adds a comment line that:
# Generated by CONFIG REWRITE
Followed by the additional config options required. However this was
added again and again at every rewrite in praticular conditions (when a
given set of options change in a given time during the time).
Now if it was alrady encountered, it is not added a second time.
This is especially important for Sentinel that rewrites the config at
every state change.
All the internal state of cluster involving time is now using mstime_t
and mstime() in order to use milliseconds resolution.
Also the clusterCron() function is called with a 10 hz frequency instead
of 1 hz.
The cluster node_timeout must be also configured in milliseconds by the
user in redis.conf.
Previously two string encodings were used for string objects:
1) REDIS_ENCODING_RAW: a string object with obj->ptr pointing to an sds
stirng.
2) REDIS_ENCODING_INT: a string object where the obj->ptr void pointer
is casted to a long.
This commit introduces a experimental new encoding called
REDIS_ENCODING_EMBSTR that implements an object represented by an sds
string that is not modifiable but allocated in the same memory chunk as
the robj structure itself.
The chunk looks like the following:
+--------------+-----------+------------+--------+----+
| robj data... | robj->ptr | sds header | string | \0 |
+--------------+-----+-----+------------+--------+----+
| ^
+-----------------------+
The robj->ptr points to the contiguous sds string data, so the object
can be manipulated with the same functions used to manipulate plan
string objects, however we need just on malloc and one free in order to
allocate or release this kind of objects. Moreover it has better cache
locality.
This new allocation strategy should benefit both the memory usage and
the performances. A performance gain between 60 and 70% was observed
during micro-benchmarks, however there is more work to do to evaluate
the performance impact and the memory usage behavior.
This feature allows the user to specify the minimum number of
connected replicas having a lag less or equal than the specified
amount of seconds for writes to be accepted.
Also the logfile option was modified to always have an explicit value
and to log to stdout when an empty string is used as log file.
Previously there was special handling of the string "stdout" that set
the logfile to NULL, this always required some special handling.
This is just to make the code exactly like the above instance used for
requirepass. No actual change nor the original code violated the Redis
coding style.
