In order to make sure every object has its own private LRU counter, when
maxmemory is enabled tryObjectEncoding() does not use the pool of shared
integers. However when the policy is not LRU-based, it does not make
sense to do so, and it is much better to save memory using shared
integers.
PING can now be called with an additional arugment, behaving exactly
like the ECHO command. PING can now also be called in Pub/Sub mode (with
one more more subscriptions to channels / patterns) in order to trigger
the delivery of an asynchronous pong message with the optional payload.
This fixes issue #420.
The code tested many times if a client had active Pub/Sub subscriptions
by checking the length of a list and dictionary where the patterns and
channels are stored. This was substituted with a client flag called
REDIS_PUBSUB that is simpler to test for. Moreover in order to manage
this flag some code was refactored.
This commit is believed to have no effects in the behavior of the
server.
Previously, the command definition for the OBJECT command specified
a minimum of two args (and that it was variadic), which meant that
if you sent this:
OBJECT foo
When cluster was enabled, it would result in an assertion/SEGFAULT
when Redis was attempting to extract keys.
It appears that OBJECT is not variadic, and only ever takes 3 args.

We introduce the distinction between slow and fast commands since those
are two different sources of latency. An O(1) or O(log N) command without
side effects (can't trigger deletion of large objects as a side effect of
its execution) if delayed is a symptom of inherent latency of the system.
A non-fast command (commands that may run large O(N) computations) if
delayed may just mean that the user is executing slow operations.
The advices LATENCY should provide in this two different cases are
different, so we log the two classes of commands in a separated way.
This fixes detection of wrong subcommand (that resulted in the default
all-commands output instead) and allows COMMAND INFO to be called
without arguments (resulting into an empty array) which is useful in
programmtically generated calls like the following (in Ruby):
redis.commands("command","info",*mycommands)
Note: mycommands may be empty.
Static was removed since it is needed in order to get symbols in stack
traces. Minor changes in the source code were operated to make it more
similar to the existing Redis code base.
COMMANDS returns a nested multibulk reply for each
command in the command table. The reply for each
command contains:
- command name
- arity
- array of command flags
- start key position
- end key position
- key offset step
- optional: if the keys are not deterministic and
Redis uses an internal key evaluation function,
the 6th field appears and is defined as a status
reply of: REQUIRES ARGUMENT PARSING
Cluster clients need to know where the keys are in each
command to implement proper routing to cluster nodes.
Redis commands can have multiple keys, keys at offset steps, or other
issues where you can't always assume the first element after
the command name is the cluster routing key.
Using the information exposed by COMMANDS, client implementations
can have live, accurate key extraction details for all commands.
Also implements COMMANDS INFO [commands...] to return only a
specific set of commands instead of all 160+ commands live in Redis.
