We need to remember what is the saving strategy of the current RDB child
process, since the configuration may be modified at runtime via CONFIG
SET and still we'll need to understand, when the child exists, what to
do and for what goal the process was initiated: to create an RDB file
on disk or to write stuff directly to slave's sockets.
During the replication full resynchronization process, the RDB file is
transfered from the master to the slave. However there is a short
preamble to send, that is currently just the bulk payload length of the
file in the usual Redis form $..length..<CR><LF>.
This preamble used to be sent with a direct write call, assuming that
there was alway room in the socket output buffer to hold the few bytes
needed, however this does not scale in case we'll need to send more
stuff, and is not very robust code in general.
This commit introduces a more general mechanism to send a preamble up to
2GB in size (the max length of an sds string) in a non blocking way.
Some language in the comment was difficult
to understand, so this commit: clarifies wording, removes
unnecessary words, and relocates some dependent clauses
closer to what they actually describe.
I also tried to break up longer chains of thought
(if X, then Y, and Q, and also F, so obviously M)
into more manageable chunks for ease of understanding.
- Remove trailing newlines from redis.conf
- Fix comment misspelling
- Clarifies zipEncodeLength usage and a C API mention (#1243, #1242)
- Fix cluster typos (inspired by @papanikge #1507)
- Fix rewite -> rewrite in a few places (inspired by #682)
Closes#1243, #1242, #1507
It is not clear if files open in append only mode will automatically fix
their offset after a truncate(2) operation. This commit makes sure that
we reposition the AOF file descriptor offset at the end of the file
after a truncated AOF is loaded and trimmed to the last valid command.
Recently we introduced the ability to load truncated AOFs, but
unfortuantely the support was broken since the server, after loading the
truncated AOF, continues appending to the file that is corrupted at the
end. The problem is fixed only in the next AOF rewrite.
This commit fixes the issue by truncating the AOF to the last valid
opcode, and aborting if it is not possible to truncate the file
correctly.
The code to check the number of voters was never updated to follow the new
Sentinel specification, so the number of voters was computed using only
the set of Sentinels that provided a vote.
This means that there is a changing majority on partitions, even if
usually the issue is not triggered because of the configured quorum
check (what was broken was the other implicit check that requires anyway
half of the known sentinels to agree in order to start a failover).
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 the new ability to start with a truncated AOF, we need
to correctly release all the memory on EOF error. Otherwise there is a
small leak, that is not really a problem, but causes a false positive in
the tests that detect memory leaks.
Previously, GETRANGE of a key containing nothing ("")
would allocate a large (size_t)-1 return value causing
crashes on 32bit builds when it tried to allocate the
4 GB return string.
32 bit builds don't have a big enough long to capture
the same range as a 64 bit build. If we use "long long"
we get proper size limits everywhere.
Also updates size of unsigned comparison to fit new size of `end`.
Fixes#1981
This allows to support datasets with more than 2 billion of keys
(possible in very large memory instances, this bug was actually
reported).
Closes issue #1814.
