Talking with @oranagra we had to reason a little bit to understand if
this function could ever flush the output buffers of the wrong slaves,
having online state but actually not being ready to receive writes
before the first ACK is received from them (this happens with diskless
replication).
Next time we'll just read this comment.
Add the concept of slaves capabilities to Redis, the slave now presents
to the Redis master with a set of capabilities in the form:
REPLCONF capa SOMECAPA capa OTHERCAPA ...
This has the effect of setting slave->slave_capa with the corresponding
SLAVE_CAPA macros that the master can test later to understand if it
the slave will understand certain formats and protocols of the
replication process. This makes it much simpler to introduce new
replication capabilities in the future in a way that don't break old
slaves or masters.
This patch was designed and implemented together with Oran Agra
(@oranagra).
1. We no longer use a fake client but just rewriting.
2. We group all the inserts into a single ZADD dispatch (big speed win).
3. As a side effect of the correct implementation, replication works.
4. The return value of the command is now correct.
When we fail to setup the write handler it does not make sense to take
the client around, it is missing writes: whatever is a client or a slave
anyway the connection should terminated ASAP.
Moreover what the function does exactly with its return value, and in
which case the write handler is installed on the socket, was not clear,
so the functions comment are improved to make the goals of the function
more obvious.
Also related to #2485.
master was closing the connection if the RDB transfer took long time.
and also sent PINGs to the slave before it got the initial ACK, in which case the slave wouldn't be able to find the EOF marker.
1. No need to set btype in processUnblockedClients(), since clients
flagged REDIS_UNBLOCKED should have it already cleared.
2. When putting clients in the unblocked clients list, clientsArePaused()
should flag them with REDIS_UNBLOCKED. Not strictly needed with the
current code but is more coherent.
When the list of unblocked clients were processed, btype was set to
blocking type none, but the client remained flagged with REDIS_BLOCKED.
When timeout is reached (or when the client disconnects), unblocking it
will trigger an assertion.
There is no need to process pending requests from blocked clients, so
now clientsArePaused() just avoid touching blocked clients.
Close#2467.
read() and write() return ssize_t (signed long), not int.
For other offsets, we can use the unsigned size_t type instead
of a signed offset (since our replication offsets and buffer
positions are never negative).
Track bandwidth used by clients and replication (but diskless
replication is not tracked since the actual transfer happens in the
child process).
This includes a refactoring that makes tracking new instantaneous
metrics simpler.
zmalloc(0) cauesd to actually trigger a non-zero allocation since with
standard libc malloc we have our own zmalloc header for memory tracking,
but at the same time the returned pointer is at the end of the block and
not in the middle. This triggers a false positive when testing with
valgrind.
When the inline protocol args count is 0, we now avoid reallocating
c->argv, preventing the issue to happen.
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 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.
Technically the problem is due to the client type API that does not
return a special value for the master, however fixing it locally in the
CLIENT KILL command is better currently because otherwise we would
introduce a new output buffer limit class as a side effect.
This will be used by CLIENT KILL and is also a good way to ensure a
given client is still the same across CLIENT LIST calls.
The output of CLIENT LIST was modified to include the new ID, but this
change is considered to be backward compatible as the API does not imply
you can do positional parsing, since each filed as a different name.
