In the test we use WAIT when the master and slave are up, and only later the
partition is created killing the master, so we are sure we don't incur
in failure modes that may lose writes in this test: the goal here is to
make sure that the elected slave was replicating correctly with the
master.
In the initialization test for each instance we used to unregister the
old master and register it again to clear the config.
However there is a race condition doing this: as soon as we unregister
and re-register "mymaster", another Sentinel can update the new
configuration with the old state because of gossip "hello" messages.
So the correct procedure is instead, unregister "mymaster" from all the
sentinel instances, and re-register it everywhere again.
Lua scripts are executed in the context of the currently selected
database (as selected by the caller of the script).
However Lua scripts are also free to use the SELECT command in order to
affect other DBs. When SELECT is called frm Lua, the old behavior, before
this commit, was to automatically set the Lua caller selected DB to the
last DB selected by Lua. See for example the following sequence of
commands:
SELECT 0
SET x 10
EVAL "redis.call('select','1')" 0
SET x 20
Before this commit after the execution of this sequence of commands,
we'll have x=10 in DB 0, and x=20 in DB 1.
Because of the problem above, there was a bug affecting replication of
Lua scripts, because of the actual implementation of replication. It was
possible to fix the implementation of Lua scripts in order to fix the
issue, but looking closely, the bug is the consequence of the behavior
of Lua ability to set the caller's DB.
Under the old semantics, a script selecting a different DB, has no simple
ways to restore the state and select back the previously selected DB.
Moreover the script auhtor must remember that the restore is needed,
otherwise the new commands executed by the caller, will be executed in
the context of a different DB.
So this commit fixes both the replication issue, and this hard-to-use
semantics, by removing the ability of Lua, after the script execution,
to force the caller to switch to the DB selected by the Lua script.
The new behavior of the previous sequence of commadns is to just set
X=20 in DB 0. However Lua scripts are still capable of writing / reading
from different DBs if needed.
WARNING: This is a semantical change that will break programs that are
conceived to select the client selected DB via Lua scripts.
This fixes issue #1811.
The new check-for-number behavior of Lua arguments broke
users who use large strings of just integers.
The Lua number check would convert the string to a number, but
that breaks user data because
Lua numbers have limited precision compared to an arbitrarily
precise number wrapped in a string.
Regression fixed and new test added.
Fixes#1118 again.
Behrad Zari discovered [1] and Josiah reported [2]: if you block
and wait for a list to exist, but the list creates from
a non-push command, the blocked client never gets notified.
This commit adds notification of blocked clients into
the DB layer and away from individual commands.
Lists can be created by [LR]PUSH, SORT..STORE, RENAME, MOVE,
and RESTORE. Previously, blocked client notifications were
only triggered by [LR]PUSH. Your client would never get
notified if a list were created by SORT..STORE or RENAME or
a RESTORE, etc.
Blocked client notification now happens in one unified place:
- dbAdd() triggers notification when adding a list to the DB
Two new tests are added that fail prior to this commit.
All test pass.
Fixes#1668

Previously the PID format was:
[PID] Timestamp
But it recently changed to:
PID:X Timestamp
The tcl testing framework was grabbing the PID from \[\d+\], but
that's not valid anymore.
Now we grab the pid from "PID: <PID>" in the part of Redis startup
output to the right of the ASCII logo.
FLUSHALL will fail on read-only slaves, but there the command is not
needed in order to reset the instance with CLUSTER RESET so errors can
be ignored.
The bug was triggered by running the test with Valgrind (which is a lot
slower and more sensible to timing issues) after the recent changes
that made Redis more promptly able to reply with the -LOADING error.
