Replica migration algorithm modified so that slaves never try to migrate
to masters that were never configured to have slaves in the past.
We want the algorithm to take care of masters that remained without
*working* slaves, but that used to have slaves according to the cluster
configuration.
Based on ideas documented in this blog post:

The original code was modified to handle signed integers, reformetted to
fit inside the Redis code base, and was stress-tested with a program
in order to validate the implementation against snprintf().
Redis was measured to be measurably faster from the point of view of
clients in real-world operations because of this change, since sometimes
number to string conversion is used extensively (for example every time
a GET results into an integer encoded object to be returned to the
user).
This is just a quickfix, for the nature of the test the right way to fix
it is to average the error of N runs, since otherwise it is always
possible to get a false positive with a bad run, or to minimize too much
this possibility we may end testing with too much "large" error ranges.
The user @kjmph provided excellent ideas to improve speed of ZUNIONSTORE
(in certain cases by many order of magnitude), together with an
implementation of the ideas.
While the ideas were sounding, the implementation could be improved both
in terms of speed and clearness, so that's my attempt at reimplementing
the speedup proposed, trying to improve by directly using just a
dictionary with an embedded score inside, and reusing the single-pass
aggregate + order-later approach.
Note that you can't apply this commit without applying the previous
commit in this branch that adds a double in the dictEntry value union.
Issue #1786.
For non-empty masters, CLUSTER RESET is denied, and the user requires to
start to reset a node by explicitly clearing it with FLUSHALL.
However CLUSTER RESET when executed with slaves don't have this
restrictions since data is just a replica of the master, and with
read-only slaves it is also not possible to remove the data set. However
the node was turned from slave to master after a reset, without touching
the old slave data. This is 99.99% of times not appropriate and forces
full resets to follow this path to work with both slave and master
nodes:
FLUSHALL
CLUSTER RESET HARD
FLUSHALL
Since we need the first flushall for masters, and the second for slaves.
This commit changes the behavior so that CLUSTER RESET removes the data set
of a slave node during a reset, in the moment it gets turned into a master,
so the new pattern is simply:
FLUSHALL (that may fail for slaves)
CLUSTER RESET
The introduction of --from --to --slots --yes options allow to reshard
from cli in an automated way from scripts. The code is ugly and needs
refactoring as soon as we get it in RC / stable release.
In the test we use WAIT when the master and slave are up, and only later the
partition is created killing the master, so we are sure we don't incur
in failure modes that may lose writes in this test: the goal here is to
make sure that the elected slave was replicating correctly with the
master.
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 now wait up to 1 second for diff data to come from the parent,
however we use poll(2) to wait for more data, and use a counter of
contiguous failures to get data for N times (set to 20 experimentally
after different tests) as an early stop condition to avoid wasting 1
second when the write traffic is too low.
