Otherwise there are security risks, especially when providing Redis as a
service, the user may "sniff" for admin commands renamed to an
unguessable string via rename-command in redis.conf.
People mostly use SORT against lists, but our prior
behavior was pretending lists were an unordered bag
requiring a forced-sort when no sort was requested.
We can just use the native list ordering to ensure
consistency across replicaion and scripting calls.
Closes#2079Closes#545 (again)
Track bandwidth used by clients and replication (but diskless
replication is not tracked since the actual transfer happens in the
child process).
This includes a refactoring that makes tracking new instantaneous
metrics simpler.
PFCOUNT is technically speaking a write command, since the cached value
of the HLL is exposed in the data structure (design error, mea culpa), and
can be modified by PFCOUNT.
However if we flag PFCOUNT as "w", read only slaves can't execute the
command, which is a problem since there are environments where slaves
are used to scale PFCOUNT reads.
Nor it is possible to just prevent PFCOUNT to modify the data structure
in slaves, since without the cache we lose too much efficiency.
So while this commit allows slaves to create a temporary inconsistency
(the strings representing the HLLs in the master and slave can be
different in certain moments) it is actually harmless.
In the long run this should be probably fixed by turning the HLL into a
more opaque representation, for example by storing the cached value in
the part of the string which is not exposed (this should be possible
with SDS strings).
zmalloc(0) cauesd to actually trigger a non-zero allocation since with
standard libc malloc we have our own zmalloc header for memory tracking,
but at the same time the returned pointer is at the end of the block and
not in the middle. This triggers a false positive when testing with
valgrind.
When the inline protocol args count is 0, we now avoid reallocating
c->argv, preventing the issue to happen.
A few people have written custom C commands because bit
manipulation isn't exposed through Lua. Let's give
them Mike Pall's bitop.
This adds bitop 1.0.2 (2012-05-08) from http://bitop.luajit.org/
bitop is imported as "bit" into the global namespace.
New Lua commands: bit.tobit, bit.tohex, bit.bnot, bit.band, bit.bor, bit.bxor,
bit.lshift, bit.rshift, bit.arshift, bit.rol, bit.ror, bit.bswap
Verification of working (the asserts would abort on error, so (nil) is correct):
127.0.0.1:6379> eval "assert(bit.tobit(1) == 1); assert(bit.band(1) == 1); assert(bit.bxor(1,2) == 3); assert(bit.bor(1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) == 255)" 0
(nil)
127.0.0.1:6379> eval 'assert(0x7fffffff == 2147483647, "broken hex literals"); assert(0xffffffff == -1 or 0xffffffff == 2^32-1, "broken hex literals"); assert(tostring(-1) == "-1", "broken tostring()"); assert(tostring(0xffffffff) == "-1" or tostring(0xffffffff) == "4294967295", "broken tostring()")' 0
(nil)
Tests also integrated into the scripting tests and can be run with:
./runtest --single unit/scripting
Tests are excerpted from `bittest.lua` included in the bitop distribution.
RDB EOF detection was relying on the final part of the RDB transfer to
be a magic 40 bytes EOF marker. However as the slave is put online
immediately, and because of sockets timeouts, the replication stream is
actually contiguous with the RDB file.
This means that to detect the EOF correctly we should either:
1) Scan all the stream searching for the mark. Sucks CPU-wise.
2) Start to send the replication stream only after an acknowledge.
3) Implement a proper chunked encoding.
For now solution "2" was picked, so the master does not start to send
ASAP the stream of commands in the case of diskless replication. We wait
for the first REPLCONF ACK command from the slave, that certifies us
that the slave correctly loaded the RDB file and is ready to get more
data.
The old DEBUG POPULATE form for automatic creation of test keys is:
DEBUG POPULATE <count>
Now an additional form is available:
DEBUG POPULATE <count> <prefix>
When prefix is not specified, it defaults to "key", so the keys are
named incrementally from key:0 to key:<count-1>. Otherwise the specified
prefix is used instead of "key".
The command is useful in order to populate different Redis instances
with key names guaranteed to don't collide. There are other debugging
uses, for example it is possible to add additional N keys using a count
of N and a random prefix at every call.
This caused BGSAVE to be triggered a second time without any need when
we switch from socket to disk target via the command
CONFIG SET repl-diskless-sync no
and there is already a slave waiting for the BGSAVE to start.
Also comments clarified about what is happening.
