A system similar to the RDB write error handling is used, in which when
we can't write to the AOF file, writes are no longer accepted until we
are able to write again.
For fsync == always we still abort on errors since there is currently no
easy way to avoid replying with success to the user otherwise, and this
would violate the contract with the user of only acknowledging data
already secured on disk.
Sometime an osx master with a Linux server over a slow link caused
a strange error where osx called the writable function for
the socket but actually apparently there was no room in the socket
buffer to accept the write: write(2) call returned an EAGAIN error,
that was not checked, so we considered write(2) == 0 always as a connection
reset, which was unfortunate since the bulk transfer has to start again.
Also more errors are logged with the WARNING level in the same code path
now.
The define is now used in other parts of Redis 2.8 tree instead of long
long.
A nice side effect is that now 2.8 and unstable sentinel.c files are
identical as it should be.
Keys expiring in the middle of the execution of Lua scripts are to
create inconsistencies in masters and / or AOF files. See the following
example:
if redis.call("exists",KEYS[1]) == 1
then
redis.call("incr","mycounter")
end
if redis.call("exists",KEYS[1]) == 1
then
return redis.call("incr","mycounter")
end
The script executes two times the same *if key exists then incrementcounter*
logic. However the two executions will work differently in the master and
the slaves, provided some unlucky timing happens.
In the master the first time the key may still exist, while the second time
the key may no longer exist. This will result in the key incremented just one
time. However as a side effect the master will generate a synthetic
`DEL` command in the replication channel in order to force the slaves to
expire the key (given that key expiration is master-driven).
When the same script will run in the slave, the key will no longer be
there, so the script will not increment the key.
The key idea used to implement the expire-at-first-lookup semantics was
provided by Marc Gravell.
server.lua_time_start is expressed in milliseconds. Use mstime_t instead
of long long, and populate it with mstime() instead of ustime()/1000.
Functionally identical but more natural.
The Redis test uses a server-clients model in order to parallelize the
execution of different tests. However in recent versions of osx not
setting the channel to a binary encoding caused issues even if AFAIK no
binary data is really sent via this channel. However now the channels
are deliberately set to a binary encoding and this solves the issue.
The exact issue was the test not terminating and giving the impression
of running forever, since test clients or servers were unable to
exchange the messages to continue.
In high RPS environments, the default listen backlog is not sufficient, so
giving users the power to configure it is the right approach, especially
since it requires only minor modifications to the code.
Incremental flushing in rio.c is only used to avoid huge kernel buffers
synched to slow disks creating big latency spikes, so this fix has no
durability implications, however it is certainly more correct to make
sure that the FILE buffers are flushed to the kernel before calling
fsync on the file descriptor.
Thanks to Li Shao Kai for reporting this issue in the Redis mailing
list.
The new command allows to change master-specific configurations
at runtime. All the settable parameters can be retrivied via the
SENTINEL MASTER command, so there is no equivalent "GET" command.
The claim about unlinking the instance from the connected hash tables
was the opposite of the reality. Also the current actual behavior is
safer in most cases, so it is better to manually unlink when needed.
The new function is used when we want to normalize an IP address without
performing a DNS lookup if the string to resolve is not a valid IP.
This is useful every time only IPs are valid inputs or when we want to
skip DNS resolution that is slow during runtime operations if we are
required to block.
Masters not understanding REPLCONF ACK will reply with errors to our
requests causing a number of possible issues.
This commit detects a global replication offest set to -1 at the end of
the replication, and marks the client representing the master with the
REDIS_PRE_PSYNC flag.
Note that this flag was called REDIS_PRE_PSYNC_SLAVE but now it is just
REDIS_PRE_PSYNC as it is used for both slaves and masters starting with
this commit.
This commit fixes issue #1488.
Now the socket is closed if anetNonBlock() fails, and in general the
code structure makes it harder to introduce this kind of bugs in the
future.
Reference: pull request #1059.
There were two problems with the implementation.
1) "save" was not correctly processed when no save point was configured,
as reported in issue #1416.
2) The way the code checked if an option existed in the "processed"
dictionary was wrong, as we add the element with as a key associated
with a NULL value, so dictFetchValue() can't be used to check for
existance, but dictFind() must be used, that returns NULL only if the
entry does not exist at all.
