Even without the user messing manually with the file, it is still
possible to have blank lines (just a single "\n" per line) because of
how the nodes.conf update/write process works.
The way the file was generated was unsafe and leaded to nodes.conf file
corruption (zero length file) on server stop/crash during the creation
of the file.
The previous file update method was as simple as open with O_TRUNC
followed by the write call. While the write call was a single one with
the full payload, ensuring no half-written files for POSIX semantics,
stopping the server just after the open call resulted into a zero-length
file (all the nodes information lost!).
A client can enter a special cluster read-only mode using the READONLY
command: if the client read from a slave instance after this command,
for slots that are actually served by the instance's master, the queries
will be processed without redirection, allowing clients to read from
slaves (but without any kind fo read-after-write guarantee).
The READWRITE command can be used in order to exit the readonly state.
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.
Currently replication offsets could be used into a limited way in order
to understand, out of a set of slaves, what is the one with the most
updated data. For example this comparison is possible of N slaves
were replicating all with the same master.
However the replication offset was not transferred from master to slaves
(that are later promoted as masters) in any way, so for instance if
there were three instances A, B, C, with A master and B and C
replication from A, the following could happen:
C disconnects from A.
B is turned into master.
A is switched to master of B.
B receives some write.
In this context there was no way to compare the offset of A and C,
because B would use its own local master replication offset as
replication offset to initialize the replication with A.
With this commit what happens is that when B is turned into master it
inherits the replication offset from A, making A and C comparable.
In the above case assuming no inconsistencies are created during the
disconnection and failover process, A will show to have a replication
offset greater than C.
Note that this does not mean offsets are always comparable to understand
what is, in a set of instances, since in more complex examples the
replica with the higher replication offset could be partitioned away
when picking the instance to elect as new master. However this in
general improves the ability of a system to try to pick a good replica
to promote to master.
When the configured node timeout is very small, the data validity time
(maximum data age for a slave to try a failover) is too little (ten
times the configured node timeout) when the replication link with the
master is mostly idle. In this case we'll receive some data from the
master only every server.repl_ping_slave_period to refresh the last
interaction with the master.
This commit adds to the max data validity time the slave ping period to
avoid this problem of slaves sensing too old data without a good reason.
However this max data validity time is likely a setting that should be
configurable by the Redis Cluster user in a way completely independent
from the node timeout.
This commit makes it simple to start an handshake with a specific node
address, and uses this in order to detect a node IP change and start a
new handshake in order to fix the IP if possible.
As specified in the Redis Cluster specification, when a node can reach
the majority again after a period in which it was partitioend away with
the minorty of masters, wait some time before accepting queries, to
provide a reasonable amount of time for other nodes to upgrade its
configuration.
This lowers the probabilities of both a client and a master with not
updated configuration to rejoin the cluster at the same time, with a
stale master accepting writes.
With this commit options not explicitly rewritten by CONFIG REWRITE are
not touched at all. These include new options that may not have support
for REWRITE, and other special cases like rename-command and include.
The value was otherwise undefined, so next time the node was promoted
again from slave to master, adding a slave to the list of slaves
would likely crash the server or result into undefined behavior.
Later this should be configurable from the command line but at least now
we use something more appropriate for our use case compared to the
redis-rb default timeout.
The bug could be easily triggered by:
SADD foo a b c 1 2 3 4 5 6
SDIFF foo foo
When the key was the same in two sets, an unsafe iterator was used to
check existence of elements in the same set we were iterating.
Usually this would just result into a wrong output, however with the
dict.c API misuse protection we have in place, the result was actually
an assertion failed that was triggered by the CI test, while creating
random datasets for the "MASTER and SLAVE consistency" test.
When a slave was disconnected from its master the replication offset was
reported as -1. Now it is reported as the replication offset of the
previous master, so that failover can be performed using this value in
order to try to select a slave with more processed data from a set of
slaves of the old master.
The previous fix for false positive timeout detected by master was not
complete. There is another blocking stage while loading data for the
first synchronization with the master, that is, flushing away the
current data from the DB memory.
This commit uses the newly introduced dict.c callback in order to make
some incremental work (to send "\n" heartbeats to the master) while
flushing the old data from memory.
It is hard to write a regression test for this issue unfortunately. More
support for debugging in the Redis core would be needed in terms of
functionalities to simulate a slow DB loading / deletion.
Redis hash table implementation has many non-blocking features like
incremental rehashing, however while deleting a large hash table there
was no way to have a callback called to do some incremental work.
This commit adds this support, as an optiona callback argument to
dictEmpty() that is currently called at a fixed interval (one time every
65k deletions).
Starting with Redis 2.8 masters are able to detect timed out slaves,
while before 2.8 only slaves were able to detect a timed out master.
Now that timeout detection is bi-directional the following problem
happens as described "in the field" by issue #1449:
1) Master and slave setup with big dataset.
2) Slave performs the first synchronization, or a full sync
after a failed partial resync.
3) Master sends the RDB payload to the slave.
4) Slave loads this payload.
5) Master detects the slave as timed out since does not receive back the
REPLCONF ACK acknowledges.
Here the problem is that the master has no way to know how much the
slave will take to load the RDB file in memory. The obvious solution is
to use a greater replication timeout setting, but this is a shame since
for the 0.1% of operation time we are forced to use a timeout that is
not what is suited for 99.9% of operation time.
This commit tries to fix this problem with a solution that is a bit of
an hack, but that modifies little of the replication internals, in order
to be back ported to 2.8 safely.
During the RDB loading time, we send the master newlines to avoid
being sensed as timed out. This is the same that the master already does
while saving the RDB file to still signal its presence to the slave.
The single newline is used because:
1) It can't desync the protocol, as it is only transmitted all or
nothing.
2) It can be safely sent while we don't have a client structure for the
master or in similar situations just with write(2).
The way the role change was recoded was not sane and too much
convoluted, causing the role information to be not always updated.
This commit fixes issue #1445.
When there is a master address switch, the reported role must be set to
master so that we have a chance to re-sample the INFO output to check if
the new address is reporting the right role.
Otherwise if the role was wrong, it will be sensed as wrong even after
the address switch, and for enough time according to the role change
time, for Sentinel consider the master SDOWN.
This fixes isue #1446, that describes the effects of this bug in
practice.
During the refactoring of blocking operations, commit
82b672f633, a bug was introduced where
a milliseconds time is compared to a seconds time, so all the clients
always appear to timeout if timeout is set to non-zero value.
Thanks to Jonathan Leibiusky for finding the bug and helping verifying
the cause and fix.
Sentinels are now desynchronized in a better way changing the time
handler frequency between 10 and 20 HZ. This way on average a
desynchronization of 25 milliesconds is produced that should be larger
enough compared to network latency, avoiding most split-brain condition
during the vote.
Now that the clocks are desynchronized, to have larger random delays when
performing operations can be easily achieved in the following way.
Take as example the function that starts the failover, that is
called with a frequency between 10 and 20 HZ and will start the
failover every time there are the conditions. By just adding as an
additional condition something like rand()%4 == 0, we can amplify the
desynchronization between Sentinel instances easily.
See issue #1419.
The result of this one-char bug was pretty serious, if the new master
had the same port of the previous master, but just a different IP
address, non-leader Sentinels would not be able to recognize the
configuration change.
This commit fixes issue #1394.
Many thanks to @shanemadden that reported the bug and helped
investigating it.
At the end of the file, CONFIG REWRITE adds a comment line that:
# Generated by CONFIG REWRITE
Followed by the additional config options required. However this was
added again and again at every rewrite in praticular conditions (when a
given set of options change in a given time during the time).
Now if it was alrady encountered, it is not added a second time.
This is especially important for Sentinel that rewrites the config at
every state change.
Some are just to know if the master is down, and in this case the runid
in the request is set to "*", others are actually in order to seek for a
vote and get elected. In the latter case the runid is set to the runid
of the instance seeking for the vote.
Also the sentinel configuration rewriting was modified in order to
account for failover in progress, where we need to provide the promoted
slave address as master address, and the old master address as one of
the slaves address.
We'll use CONFIG REWRITE (internally) in order to store the new
configuration of a Sentinel after the internal state changes. In order
to do so, we need configuration options (that usually the user will not
touch at all) about config epoch of the master, Sentinels and Slaves
known for this master, and so forth.
The time Sentinel waits since the slave is detected to be configured to
the wrong master, before reconfiguring it, is now the failover_timeout
time as this makes more sense in order to give the Sentinel performing
the failover enoung time to reconfigure the slaves slowly (if required
by the configuration).
Also we now PUBLISH more frequently the new configuraiton as this allows
to switch the reapprearing master back to slave faster.
Also defaulf failover timeout changed to 3 minutes as the failover is a
fairly fast procedure most of the times, unless there are a very big
number of slaves and the user picked to configure them sequentially (in
that case the user should change the failover timeout accordingly).
Once we switched configuration during a failover, we should advertise
the new address.
This was a serious race condition as the Sentinel performing the
failover for a moment advertised the old address with the new
configuration epoch: once trasmitted to the other Sentinels the broken
configuration would remain there forever, until the next failover
(because a greater configuration epoch is required to overwrite an older
one).
Now Sentinel believe the current configuration is always the winner and
should be applied by Sentinels instead of trying to adapt our view of
the cluster based on what we observe.
So the only way to modify what a Sentinel believe to be the truth is to
win an election and advertise the new configuration via Pub / Sub with a
greater configuration epoch.
Changes to leadership handling.
Now the leader gets selected by every Sentinel, for a specified epoch,
when the SENTINEL is-master-down-by-addr is sent.
This command now includes the runid and the currentEpoch of the instance
seeking for a vote. The Sentinel only votes a single time in a given
epoch.
Still a work in progress, does not even compile at this stage.
Sentinel state now includes the idea of current epoch and config epoch.
In the Hello message, that is now published both on masters and slaves,
a Sentinel no longer just advertises itself but also broadcasts its
current view of the configuration: the master name / ip / port and its
current epoch.
Sentinels receiving such information switch to the new master if the
configuration epoch received is newer and the ip / port of the master
are indeed different compared to the previos ones.
Now there is a function that handles the update of the local slot
configuration every time we have some new info about a node and its set
of served slots and configEpoch.
Moreoever the UPDATE packets are now processed when received (it was a
work in progress in the previous commit).
The commit also introduces detection of nodes publishing not updated
configuration. More work in progress to send an UPDATE packet to inform
of the config change.
AUTH and SCRIPT KILL were sent without incrementing the pending commands
counter. Clearly this needs some kind of wrapper doing it for the caller
in order to be less bug prone.
This change makes Sentinel less fragile about a number of failure modes.
This commit also fixes a different bug as a side effect, SLAVEOF command
was sent multiple times without incrementing the pending commands count.
The previous implementation of SCAN parsed the cursor in the generic
function implementing SCAN, SSCAN, HSCAN and ZSCAN.
The actual higher-level command implementation only checked for empty
keys and return ASAP in that case. The result was that inverting the
arguments of, for instance, SSCAN for example and write:
SSCAN 0 key
Instead of
SSCAN key 0
Resulted into no error, since 0 is a non-existing key name very likely.
Just the iterator returned no elements at all.
In order to fix this issue the code was refactored to extract the
function to parse the cursor and return the error. Every higher level
command implementation now parses the cursor and later checks if the key
exist or not.
The previous implementation assumed that the first call always happens
with cursor set to 0, this may not be the case, and we want to return 0
anyway otherwise the (broken) client code will loop forever.
The new implementation is capable of iterating the keyspace but also
sets, hashes, and sorted sets, and can be used to implement SSCAN, ZSCAN
and HSCAN.
All the internal state of cluster involving time is now using mstime_t
and mstime() in order to use milliseconds resolution.
Also the clusterCron() function is called with a 10 hz frequency instead
of 1 hz.
The cluster node_timeout must be also configured in milliseconds by the
user in redis.conf.
When a slave requests our vote, the configEpoch he claims for its master
and the set of served slots must be greater or equal to the configEpoch
of the nodes serving these slots in the current configuraiton of the
master granting its vote.
In other terms, masters don't vote for slaves having a stale
configuration for the slots they want to serve.
Sometimes when we resurrect a cached master after a successful partial
resynchronization attempt, there is pending data in the output buffers
of the client structure representing the master (likely REPLCONF ACK
commands).
If we don't reinstall the write handler, it will never be installed
again by addReply*() family functions as they'll assume that if there is
already data pending, the write handler is already installed.
This bug caused some slaves after a successful partial sync to never
send REPLCONF ACK, and continuously being detected as timing out by the
master, with a disconnection / reconnection loop.

Since we started sending REPLCONF ACK from slaves to masters, the
lastinteraction field of the client structure is always refreshed as
soon as there is room in the socket output buffer, so masters in timeout
are detected with too much delay (the socket buffer takes a lot of time
to be filled by small REPLCONF ACK <number> entries).
This commit only counts data received as interactions with a master,
solving the issue.

There was a bug that over-esteemed the amount of backlog available,
however this could only happen when a slave was asking for an offset
that was in the "future" compared to the master replication backlog.
Now this case is handled well and logged as an incident in the master
log file.

The new API is able to remember operations to perform before returning
to the event loop, such as checking if there is the failover quorum for
a slave, save and fsync the configuraiton file, and so forth.
Because this operations are performed before returning on the event
loop we are sure that messages that are sent in the same event loop run
will be delivered *after* the configuration is already saved, that is a
requirement sometimes. For instance we want to publish a new epoch only
when it is already stored in nodes.conf in order to avoid returning back
in the logical clock when a node is restarted.
This new API provides a big performance advantage compared to saving and
possibly fsyncing the configuration file multiple times in the same
event loop run, especially in the case of big clusters with tens or
hundreds of nodes.
The new algorithm does not check replies time as checking for the
currentEpoch in the reply ensures that the reply is about the current
election process.
The old algorithm used a PROMOTED flag and explicitly checks about
slave->master convertions. Wit the new cluster meta-data propagation
algorithm we just look at the configEpoch to check if we need to
reconfigure slots, then:
1) If a node is a master but it reaches zero served slots becuase of
reconfiguration.
2) If a node is a slave but the master reaches zero served slots because
of a reconfiguration.
We switch as a replica of the new slots owner.
We need to:
1) Increment the configEpoch.
2) Save it to disk and fsync the file.
3) Broadcast the PONG with the new configuration.
If other nodes will receive the updated configuration we need to be sure
to restart with this new config in the event of a crash.
First change: now there is no need to be a master in order to detect a
failure, however the majority of masters signaling PFAIL or FAIL is needed.
This change is important because it allows slaves rejoining the cluster
after a partition to sense the FAIL condition so that eventually all the
nodes agree on failures.
The time is sent in requests, and copied back in reply packets.
This way the receiver can compare the time field in a reply with its
local clock and check the age of the request associated with this reply.
This is an easy way to discard delayed replies. Note that only a clock
is used here, that is the one of the node sending the packet. The
receiver only copies the field back into the reply, so no
synchronization is needed between clocks of different hosts.
Handshake nodes should turn into normal nodes or be freed in a
reasonable amount of time, otherwise they'll keep accumulating if the
address they are associated with is not reachable for some reason.
The code freed a reply object that was never created, resulting in a
segfault every time randomkey returned a key that was deleted before we
queried it for size.
Multiple missing calls to lua_pop prevented the error handler function
pushed on the stack for lua_pcall() to be popped before returning,
causing a memory leak in almost all the code paths of EVAL (both
successful calls and calls returning errors).
This caused two issues: Lua leaking memory (and this was very visible
from INFO memory output, as the 'used_memory_lua' field reported an
always increasing amount of memory used), and as a result slower and
slower GC cycles resulting in all the CPU being used.
Thanks to Tanguy Le Barzic for noticing something was wrong with his 2.8
slave, and for creating a testing EC2 environment where I was able to
investigate the issue.
We are sure the string is large, since when the sds optimization branch
is entered it means that it was not possible to encode it as EMBSTR for
size concerns.
When no encoding is possible, at least try to reallocate the sds string
with one that does not waste memory (with free space at the end of the
buffer) when the string is large enough.
We are sure that a string that is longer than 21 chars cannot be
represented by a 64 bit signed integer, as -(2^64) is 21 chars:
strlen(-18446744073709551616) => 21
This feature was implemented in the initial days of the Redis Cluster
implementaiton but is not a good idea at all.
1) It depends on clocks to be synchronized, that is already very bad.
2) Moreover it adds a bug where the pong time is updated via gossip so
no new PING is ever sent by the current node, with the effect of no PONG
received, no update of tables, no clearing of PFAIL flag.
In general to trust other nodes about the reachability of other nodes is
a broken distributed programming model.
The previous hashing used the trivial algorithm of xoring the integers
together. This is not optimal as it is very likely that different
hash table setups will hash the same, for instance an hash table at the
start of the rehashing process, and at the end, will have the same
fingerprint.
Now we hash N integers in a smarter way, by summing every integer to the
previous hash, and taking the integer hashing again (see the code for
further details). This way it is a lot less likely that we get a
collision. Moreover this way of hashing explicitly protects from the
same set of integers in a different order to hash to the same number.
This commit is related to issue #1240.
This commit does mainly two things:
1) It fixes zunionInterGenericCommand() by removing mass-initialization
of all the iterators used, so that we don't violate the unsafe iterator
API of dictionaries. This fixes issue #1240.
2) Since the zui* APIs required the allocator to be initialized in the
zsetopsrc structure in order to use non-iterator related APIs, this
commit fixes this strict requirement by accessing objects directly via
the op->subject->ptr pointer we have to the object.
dict.c allows the user to create unsafe iterators, that are iterators
that will not touch the dictionary data structure in any way, preventing
copy on write, but at the same time are limited in their usage.
The limitation is that when itearting with an unsafe iterator, no call
to other dictionary functions must be done inside the iteration loop,
otherwise the dictionary may be incrementally rehashed resulting into
missing elements in the set of the elements returned by the iterator.
However after introducing this kind of iterators a number of bugs were
found due to misuses of the API, and we are still finding
bugs about this issue. The bugs are not trivial to track because the
effect is just missing elements during the iteartion.
This commit introduces auto-detection of the API misuse. The idea is
that an unsafe iterator has a contract: from initialization to the
release of the iterator the dictionary should not change.
So we take a fingerprint of the dictionary state, xoring a few important
dict properties when the unsafe iteartor is initialized. We later check
when the iterator is released if the fingerprint is still the same. If it
is not, we found a misuse of the iterator, as not allowed API calls
changed the internal state of the dictionary.
This code was checked against a real bug, issue #1240.
This is what Redis prints (aborting) when a misuse is detected:
Assertion failed: (iter->fingerprint == dictFingerprint(iter->d)),
function dictReleaseIterator, file dict.c, line 587.
The previous code using a static buffer as an optimization was lame:
1) Premature optimization, actually it was *slower* than naive code
because resulted into the creation / destruction of the object
encapsulating the output buffer.
2) The code was very hard to test, since it was needed to have specific
tests for command lines exceeding the size of the static buffer.
3) As a result of "2" the code was bugged as the current tests were not
able to stress specific corner cases.
It was replaced with easy to understand code that is safer and faster.
During the replication full resynchronization process, the RDB file is
transfered from the master to the slave. However there is a short
preamble to send, that is currently just the bulk payload length of the
file in the usual Redis form $..length..<CR><LF>.
This preamble used to be sent with a direct write call, assuming that
there was alway room in the socket output buffer to hold the few bytes
needed, however this does not scale in case we'll need to send more
stuff, and is not very robust code in general.
This commit introduces a more general mechanism to send a preamble up to
2GB in size (the max length of an sds string) in a non blocking way.
Before this commit redis-benchmark supported random argumetns in the
form of :rand:000000000000. In every string of that form, the zeros were
replaced with a random number of 12 digits at every command invocation.
However this was far from perfect as did not allowed to generate simply
random numbers as arguments, there was always the :rand: prefix.
Now instead every argument in the form __rand_int__ is replaced with a
12 digits number. Note that "__rand_int__" is 12 characters itself.
In order to implement the new semantic, it was needed to change a few
thigns in the internals of redis-benchmark, as new clients are created
cloning old clients, so without a stable prefix such as ":rand:" the old
way of cloning the client was no longer able to understand, from the old
command line, what was the position of the random strings to substitute.
Now instead a client structure is passed as a reference for cloning, so
that we can directly clone the offsets inside the command line.
Example:
db0:keys=221913,expires=221913,avg_ttl=655
The algorithm uses a running average with only two samples (current and
previous). Keys found to be expired are considered at TTL zero even if
the actual TTL can be negative.
The TTL is reported in milliseconds.
We don't want to repeat a fast cycle too soon, the previous code was
broken, we need to wait two times the period *since* the start of the
previous cycle in order to avoid there is an even space between cycles:
.-> start .-> second start
| |
+-------------+-------------+--------------+
| first cycle | pause | second cycle |
+-------------+-------------+--------------+
The second and first start must be PERIOD*2 useconds apart hence the *2
in the new code.
This commit makes the fast collection cycle time configurable, at
the same time it does not allow to run a new fast collection cycle
for the same amount of time as the max duration of the fast
collection cycle.
The main idea here is that when we are no longer to expire keys at the
rate the are created, we can't block more in the normal expire cycle as
this would result in too big latency spikes.
For this reason the commit introduces a "fast" expire cycle that does
not run for more than 1 millisecond but is called in the beforeSleep()
hook of the event loop, so much more often, and with a frequency bound
to the frequency of executed commnads.
The fast expire cycle is only called when the standard expiration
algorithm runs out of time, that is, consumed more than
REDIS_EXPIRELOOKUPS_TIME_PERC of CPU in a given cycle without being able
to take the number of already expired keys that are yet not collected
to a number smaller than 25% of the number of keys.
You can test this commit with different loads, but a simple way is to
use the following:
Extreme load with pipelining:
redis-benchmark -r 100000000 -n 100000000 \
-P 32 set ele:rand:000000000000 foo ex 2
Remove the -P32 in order to avoid the pipelining for a more real-world
load.
In another terminal tab you can monitor the Redis behavior with:
redis-cli -i 0.1 -r -1 info keyspace
and
redis-cli --latency-history
Note: this commit will make Redis printing a lot of debug messages, it
is not a good idea to use it in production.
Thanks to @run and @badboy for spotting this.
Triva: clang was not able to provide me a warning about that when
compiling.
This closes#1024 and #1207, committing the change myself as the pull
requests no longer apply cleanly after other changes to the same
function.
Actaully the string is modified in-place and a reallocation is never
needed, so there is no need to return the new sds string pointer as
return value of the function, that is now just "void".
Now that EMBSTR encoding exists we calculate the amount of memory used
by the SDS part of a Redis String object in two different ways:
1) For raw string object, the size of the allocation is considered.
2) For embstr objects, the length of the string itself is used.
The new function takes care of this logic.
This function missed proper handling of reply_bytes when gluing to the
previous object was used. The issue was introduced with the EMBSTR new
string object encoding.
This fixes issue #1208.
Previously two string encodings were used for string objects:
1) REDIS_ENCODING_RAW: a string object with obj->ptr pointing to an sds
stirng.
2) REDIS_ENCODING_INT: a string object where the obj->ptr void pointer
is casted to a long.
This commit introduces a experimental new encoding called
REDIS_ENCODING_EMBSTR that implements an object represented by an sds
string that is not modifiable but allocated in the same memory chunk as
the robj structure itself.
The chunk looks like the following:
+--------------+-----------+------------+--------+----+
| robj data... | robj->ptr | sds header | string | \0 |
+--------------+-----+-----+------------+--------+----+
| ^
+-----------------------+
The robj->ptr points to the contiguous sds string data, so the object
can be manipulated with the same functions used to manipulate plan
string objects, however we need just on malloc and one free in order to
allocate or release this kind of objects. Moreover it has better cache
locality.
This new allocation strategy should benefit both the memory usage and
the performances. A performance gain between 60 and 70% was observed
during micro-benchmarks, however there is more work to do to evaluate
the performance impact and the memory usage behavior.
There are systems that when printing +/- infinte with printf-family
functions will not use the usual "inf" "-inf", but different strings.
Handle that explicitly.
Fixes issue #930.
This fixes issue #1194, that contains many details.
However in short, it was possible for ZADD to not accept as score values
that was however possible to obtain with multiple calls to ZINCRBY, like
in the following example:
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> zadd k 2.5e-308 m
(integer) 1
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> zincrby k -2.4e-308 m
"9.9999999999999694e-310"
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> zscore k m
"9.9999999999999694e-310"
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> zadd k 9.9999999999999694e-310 m1
(error) ERR value is not a valid float
The problem was due to strtod() returning ERANGE in the following case
specified by POSIX:
"If the correct value would cause an underflow, a value whose magnitude
is no greater than the smallest normalized positive number in the return
type shall be returned and errno set to [ERANGE].".
Now instead the returned value is accepted even when ERANGE is returned
as long as the return value of the function is not negative or positive
HUGE_VAL or zero.
Note that we only do it when STORE is not used, otherwise we want an
absolutely locale independent and binary safe sorting in order to ensure
AOF / replication consistency.
This is probably an unexpected behavior violating the least surprise
rule, but there is currently no other simple / good alternative.
compareStringObject was not always giving the same result when comparing
two exact strings, but encoded as integers or as sds strings, since it
switched to strcmp() when at least one of the strings were not sds
encoded.
For instance the two strings "123" and "123\x00456", where the first
string was integer encoded, would result into the old implementation of
compareStringObject() to return 0 as if the strings were equal, while
instead the second string is "greater" than the first in a binary
comparison.
The same compasion, but with "123" encoded as sds string, would instead
return a value < 0, as it is correct. It is not impossible that the
above caused some obscure bug, since the comparison was not always
deterministic, and compareStringObject() is used in the implementation
of skiplists, hash tables, and so forth.
At the same time, collateStringObject() was introduced by this commit, so
that can be used by SORT command to return sorted strings usign
collation instead of binary comparison. See next commit.
The function returns an unique identifier for the client, as ip:port for
IPv4 and IPv6 clients, or as path:0 for Unix socket clients.
See the top comment in the function for more info.
This has been done by exposing the anetSockName() function anet.c
to be used when the sentinel is publishing its existence to the masters.
This implementation is very unintelligent as it will likely break if used
with IPv6 as the nested colons will break any parsing of the PUBLISH string
by the master.
Any places which I feel might want to be updated to work differently
with IPv6 have been marked with a comment starting "IPV6:".
Currently the only comments address places where an IP address is
combined with a port using the standard : separated form. These may want
to be changed when printing IPv6 addresses to wrap the address in []
such as
[2001:db8::c0:ffee]:6379
instead of
2001:db8::c0:ffee:6379
as the latter format is a technically valid IPv6 address and it is hard
to distinguish the IPv6 address component from the port unless you know
the port is supposed to be there.
In two places buffers have been created with a size of 128 bytes which
could be reduced to INET6_ADDRSTRLEN to still hold a full IP address.
These places have been marked as they are presently big enough to handle
the needs of storing a printable IPv6 address.
Changes the sockaddr_in to a sockaddr_storage. Attempts to convert the
IP address into an AF_INET or AF_INET6 before returning an "Invalid IP
address" error. Handles converting the sockaddr from either AF_INET or
AF_INET6 back into a string for storage in the clusterNode ip field.
Change the sockaddr_in to sockaddr_storage which is capable of storing
both AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets. Uses the sockaddr_storage ss_family
to correctly return the printable IP address and port.
Function makes the assumption that the buffer is of at least
REDIS_CLUSTER_IPLEN bytes in size.
Change the sockaddr_in to sockaddr_storage which is capable of storing
both AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets. Uses the sockaddr_storage ss_family

Change the sockaddr_in to sockaddr_storage which is capable of storing

to correctly return the printable IP address and port.
Change the getaddrinfo(3) hints family from AF_INET to AF_UNSPEC to
allow resolution of IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 addresses. The
function will return the IP address of whichever address family is
preferenced by the operating system. Most current operating systems
will preference AF_INET6 over AF_INET.
Unfortunately without attempting to establish a connection to the
remote address we can't know if the host is capable of using the
returned IP address. It might be desirable to have anetResolve
accept an additional argument specifying the AF_INET/AF_INET6 address
the caller would like to receive. Currently though it does not appear
as though the anetResolve function is ever used within Redis.
Add REDIS_CLUSTER_IPLEN macro to define the size of the clusterNode ip
character array. Additionally use this macro in inet_ntop(3) calls where
the size of the array was being defined manually.
The REDIS_CLUSTER_IPLEN is defined as INET_ADDRSTRLEN which defines the
correct size of a buffer to store an IPv4 address in. The
INET_ADDRSTRLEN macro itself is defined in the <netinet/in.h> header
file and should be portable across the majority of systems.
Using sizeof with an array will only return expected results if the
array is created in the scope of the function where sizeof is used. This
commit changes the inet_ntop calls so that they use the fixed buffer
value as defined in redis.h which is 16.
