![]() # Redis Functions Flags Following the discussion on #10025 Added Functions Flags support. The PR is divided to 2 sections: * Add named argument support to `redis.register_function` API. * Add support for function flags ## `redis.register_function` named argument support The first part of the PR adds support for named argument on `redis.register_function`, example: ``` redis.register_function{ function_name='f1', callback=function() return 'hello' end, description='some desc' } ``` The positional arguments is also kept, which means that it still possible to write: ``` redis.register_function('f1', function() return 'hello' end) ``` But notice that it is no longer possible to pass the optional description argument on the positional argument version. Positional argument was change to allow passing only the mandatory arguments (function name and callback). To pass more arguments the user must use the named argument version. As with positional arguments, the `function_name` and `callback` is mandatory and an error will be raise if those are missing. Also, an error will be raise if an unknown argument name is given or the arguments type is wrong. Tests was added to verify the new syntax. ## Functions Flags The second part of the PR is adding functions flags support. Flags are given to Redis when the engine calls `functionLibCreateFunction`, supported flags are: * `no-writes` - indicating the function perform no writes which means that it is OK to run it on: * read-only replica * Using FCALL_RO * If disk error detected It will not be possible to run a function in those situations unless the function turns on the `no-writes` flag * `allow-oom` - indicate that its OK to run the function even if Redis is in OOM state, if the function will not turn on this flag it will not be possible to run it if OOM reached (even if the function declares `no-writes` and even if `fcall_ro` is used). If this flag is set, any command will be allow on OOM (even those that is marked with CMD_DENYOOM). The assumption is that this flag is for advance users that knows its meaning and understand what they are doing, and Redis trust them to not increase the memory usage. (e.g. it could be an INCR or a modification on an existing key, or a DEL command) * `allow-state` - indicate that its OK to run the function on stale replica, in this case we will also make sure the function is only perform `stale` commands and raise an error if not. * `no-cluster` - indicate to disallow running the function if cluster is enabled. Default behaviure of functions (if no flags is given): 1. Allow functions to read and write 2. Do not run functions on OOM 3. Do not run functions on stale replica 4. Allow functions on cluster ### Lua API for functions flags On Lua engine, it is possible to give functions flags as `flags` named argument: ``` redis.register_function{function_name='f1', callback=function() return 1 end, flags={'no-writes', 'allow-oom'}, description='description'} ``` The function flags argument must be a Lua table that contains all the requested flags, The following will result in an error: * Unknown flag * Wrong flag type Default behaviour is the same as if no flags are used. Tests were added to verify all flags functionality ## Additional changes * mark FCALL and FCALL_RO with CMD_STALE flag (unlike EVAL), so that they can run if the function was registered with the `allow-stale` flag. * Verify `CMD_STALE` on `scriptCall` (`redis.call`), so it will not be possible to call commands from script while stale unless the command is marked with the `CMD_STALE` flags. so that even if the function is allowed while stale we do not allow it to bypass the `CMD_STALE` flag of commands. * Flags section was added to `FUNCTION LIST` command to provide the set of flags for each function: ``` > FUNCTION list withcode 1) 1) "library_name" 2) "test" 3) "engine" 4) "LUA" 5) "description" 6) (nil) 7) "functions" 8) 1) 1) "name" 2) "f1" 3) "description" 4) (nil) 5) "flags" 6) (empty array) 9) "library_code" 10) "redis.register_function{function_name='f1', callback=function() return 1 end}" ``` * Added API to get Redis version from within a script, The redis version can be provided using: 1. `redis.REDIS_VERSION` - string representation of the redis version in the format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATH 2. `redis.REDIS_VERSION_NUM` - number representation of the redis version in the format of `0x00MMmmpp` (`MM` - major, `mm` - minor, `pp` - patch). The number version can be used to check if version is greater or less another version. The string version can be used to return to the user or print as logs. This new API is provided to eval scripts and functions, it also possible to use this API during functions loading phase. |

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_server
contexttags
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 campatible 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 ). |
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 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
