This implements the new Sentinel-Client protocol for the Sentinel part:
now instances are reconfigured using a transaction that ensures that the
config is rewritten in the target instance, and that clients lose the
connection with the instance, in order to be forced to: ask Sentinel,
reconnect to the instance, and verify the instance role with the new
ROLE command.
This will be used by CLIENT KILL and is also a good way to ensure a
given client is still the same across CLIENT LIST calls.
The output of CLIENT LIST was modified to include the new ID, but this
change is considered to be backward compatible as the API does not imply
you can do positional parsing, since each filed as a different name.
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.
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.
It is more straightforward to just test for a numerical type avoiding
Lua's automatic conversion. The code is technically more correct now,
however Lua should automatically convert to number only if the original
type is a string that "looks like a number", and not from other types,
so practically speaking the fix is identical AFAIK.
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.
The new ROLE command is designed in order to provide a client with
informations about the replication in a fast and easy to use way
compared to the INFO command where the same information is also
available.
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.

Since there are ways to alter the configEpoch outside of the failover
procedure (for exampel CLUSTER SET-CONFIG-EPOCH and via the configEpoch
collision resolution algorithm), make always sure, before replacing our
configEpoch with a new one, that it is greater than the current one.
SET-CONFIG-EPOCH, used by redis-trib at cluster creation time, failed to
update the currentEpoch, making it possible after a failover for a
server to set its configEpoch to a value smaller than the current one
(since configEpochs are obtained using currentEpoch).
The bug totally break the Redis Cluster algorithms and protocols
allowing for permanent split brain conditions about the slots
configuration as shown in issue #1799.
I'm not sure if while the visibility is the inner block, the fact we
point to 'dbuf' is a problem or not, probably the stack var isx
guaranteed to live until the function returns. However obvious code is
better anyway.
The lua_to*string() family of functions use a non optimal format
specifier when converting integers to strings. This has both the problem
of the number being converted in exponential notation, which we don't
use as a Redis return value when floating point numbers are involed,
and, moreover, there is a loss of precision since the default format
specifier is not able to represent numbers that must be represented
exactly in the IEEE 754 number mantissa.
The new code handles it as a special case using a saner conversion.
This fixes issue #1118.
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.
If we are in the signal handler, we don't want to handle
the signal again. In extreme cases, this can cause a stack overflow
and segfault Redis.
Fixes#1771
There is a time defined by REDIS_CLUSTER_WRITABLE_DELAY where fail -> ok
switch is not possible after startup as a master for some time, however
the contrary (ok -> fail) should always be possible.
