The new cjson has some improvements over our current version including
increased platform compatability, a new resource limit to restrict
decode depth, and better invalid number handling.
One minor change was required to deps/Makefile because this version
of cjson doesn't export itself globally, so we added a quick little
define of -DENABLE_CJSON_GLOBAL.
cjson now has an optional higher performing float parsing interface,
but we are not including it (g_fmt.c, dtoa.c) because it requires
endianness declaration during compile time.
This commit is exactly lua_cjson.c from 2.1.0 with one minor
change of altering the two Lua includes for local search
instead of system-wide importing.
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.
EWOULDBLOCK with the fdset rio target is returned when we try to write
but the send timeout socket option triggered an error. Better to
translate the error in something the user can actually recognize as a
timeout.
We need to avoid that a child -> slaves transfer can continue forever.
We use the same timeout used as global replication timeout, which is
documented to also affect I/O operations during bulk transfers.
To perform a socket write() for each RDB rio API write call was
extremely unefficient, so now rio has minimal buffering capabilities.
Writes are accumulated into a buffer and only when a given limit is
reacehd are actually wrote to the N slaves FDs.
Trivia: rio lacked support for buffering since our targets were:
1) Memory buffers.
2) C standard I/O.
Both were buffered already.
This is useful for normal replication in order to refresh the slave
when we are persisting on disk, but for diskless replication the
child is already receiving data while in WAIT_BGSAVE_END state.
If we turn from diskless to disk-based replication via CONFIG SET, we
need a way to start a BGSAVE if there are slaves alerady waiting for a
BGSAVE to start. Normally with disk-based replication we do it as soon
as the previous child exits, but when there is a configuration change
via CONFIG SET, we may have slaves in WAIT_BGSAVE_START state without
an RDB background process currently active.
Fdset target is used when we want to write an RDB file directly to
slave's sockets. In this setup as long as there is a single slave that
is still receiving our payload, we want to continue sennding instead of
aborting. However rio calls should abort of no FD is ok.
Also we want the errors reported so that we can signal the parent who is
ok and who is broken, so there is a new set integers with the state of
each fd. Zero is ok, non-zero is the errno of the failure, if avaialble,
or a generic EIO.
