Syntax:
`COMMAND DOCS [<command name> ...]`
Background:
Apparently old version of hiredis (and thus also redis-cli) can't
support more than 7 levels of multi-bulk nesting.
The solution is to move all the doc related metadata from COMMAND to a
new COMMAND DOCS sub-command.
The new DOCS sub-command returns a map of commands (not an array like in COMMAND),
And the same goes for the `subcommands` field inside it (also contains a map)
Besides that, the remaining new fields of COMMAND (hints, key-specs, and
sub-commands), are placed in the outer array rather than a nested map.
this was done mainly for consistency with the old format.
Other changes:
---
* Allow COMMAND INFO with no arguments, which returns all commands, so that we can some day deprecated
the plain COMMAND (no args)
* Reduce the amount of deferred replies from both COMMAND and COMMAND
DOCS, especially in the inner loops, since these create many small
reply objects, which lead to many small write syscalls and many small
TCP packets.
To make this easier, when populating the command table, we count the
history, args, and hints so we later know their size in advance.
Additionally, the movablekeys flag was moved into the flags register.
* Update generate-commands-json.py to take the data from both command, it
now executes redis-cli directly, instead of taking input from stdin.
* Sub-commands in both COMMAND (and COMMAND INFO), and also COMMAND DOCS,
show their full name. i.e. CONFIG
* GET will be shown as `config|get` rather than just `get`.
This will be visible both when asking for `COMMAND INFO config` and COMMAND INFO config|get`, but is
especially important for the later.
i.e. imagine someone doing `COMMAND INFO slowlog|get config|get` not being able to distinguish between the two
items in the array response.
Callers of redisFork() are logging `strerror(errno)` on failure.
`errno` is not set when there is already a child process, causing printing
current value of errno which was set before `redisFork()` call.
Setting errno to EEXIST on this failure to provide more meaningful error message.
# Short description
The Redis extended latency stats track per command latencies and enables:
- exporting the per-command percentile distribution via the `INFO LATENCYSTATS` command.
**( percentile distribution is not mergeable between cluster nodes ).**
- exporting the per-command cumulative latency distributions via the `LATENCY HISTOGRAM` command.
Using the cumulative distribution of latencies we can merge several stats from different cluster nodes
to calculate aggregate metrics .
By default, the extended latency monitoring is enabled since the overhead of keeping track of the
command latency is very small.
If you don't want to track extended latency metrics, you can easily disable it at runtime using the command:
- `CONFIG SET latency-tracking no`
By default, the exported latency percentiles are the p50, p99, and p999.
You can alter them at runtime using the command:
- `CONFIG SET latency-tracking-info-percentiles "0.0 50.0 100.0"`
## Some details:
- The total size per histogram should sit around 40 KiB. We only allocate those 40KiB when a command
was called for the first time.
- With regards to the WRITE overhead As seen below, there is no measurable overhead on the achievable
ops/sec or full latency spectrum on the client. Including also the measured redis-benchmark for unstable
vs this branch.
- We track from 1 nanosecond to 1 second ( everything above 1 second is considered +Inf )
## `INFO LATENCYSTATS` exposition format
- Format: `latency_percentiles_usec_<CMDNAME>:p0=XX,p50....`
## `LATENCY HISTOGRAM [command ...]` exposition format
Return a cumulative distribution of latencies in the format of a histogram for the specified command names.
The histogram is composed of a map of time buckets:
- Each representing a latency range, between 1 nanosecond and roughly 1 second.
- Each bucket covers twice the previous bucket's range.
- Empty buckets are not printed.
- Everything above 1 sec is considered +Inf.
- At max there will be log2(1000000000)=30 buckets
We reply a map for each command in the format:
`<command name> : { `calls`: <total command calls> , `histogram` : { <bucket 1> : latency , < bucket 2> : latency, ... } }`

This would mean that the effects of `CONFIG SET maxmemory` may not be visible once the command returns.
That could anyway happen since incremental eviction was added in redis 6.2 (see #7653)
We do this to fix one of the propagation bugs about eviction see #9890 and #10014.
Preventing COFIG SET maxmemory from propagating is just the tip of the iceberg.
Module that performs a write operation in a notification can cause any
command to be propagated, based on server.dirty
We need to come up with a better solution.
It turns out that libc malloc can return an allocation of a different size on requests of the same size.
this means that matching MEMORY USAGE of one key to another copy of the same data can fail.
Solution:
Keep running the test that calls MEMORY USAGE, but ignore the response.
We do that by introducing a new utility function to get the memory usage, which always returns 1
when the allocator is not jemalloc.
Other changes:
Some formatting for datatype2.tcl

Following #9656, this script generates a "commands.json" file from the output
of the new COMMAND. The output of this script is used in redis/redis-doc#1714
and by redis/redis-io#259. This also converts a couple of rogue dashes (in
'key-specs' and 'multiple-token' flags) to underscores (continues #9959).
There's a race between testing DBSIZE and the thread starting.
If the thread hadn't started by the time we checked DBISZE, no
keys will have been evicted.
The correct way is to check the evicted_keys stat.
The mess:
Some parts use alsoPropagate for late propagation, others using an immediate one (propagate()),
causing edge cases, ugly/hacky code, and the tendency for bugs
The basic idea is that all commands are propagated via alsoPropagate (i.e. added to a list) and the
top-most call() is responsible for going over that list and actually propagating them (and wrapping
them in MULTI/EXEC if there's more than one command). This is done in the new function,
propagatePendingCommands.
Callers to propagatePendingCommands:
1. top-most call() (we want all nested call()s to add to the also_propagate array and just the top-most
one to propagate them) - via `afterCommand`
2. handleClientsBlockedOnKeys: it is out of call() context and it may propagate stuff - via `afterCommand`.
3. handleClientsBlockedOnKeys edge case: if the looked-up key is already expired, we will propagate the
expire but will not unblock any client so `afterCommand` isn't called. in that case, we have to propagate
the deletion explicitly.
4. cron stuff: active-expire and eviction may also propagate stuff
5. modules: the module API allows to propagate stuff from just about anywhere (timers, keyspace notifications,
threads). I could have tried to catch all the out-of-call-context places but it seemed easier to handle it in one
place: when we free the context. in the spirit of what was done in call(), only the top-most freeing of a module
context may cause propagation.
6. modules: when using a thread-safe ctx it's not clear when/if the ctx will be freed. we do know that the module
must lock the GIL before calling RM_Replicate/RM_Call so we propagate the pending commands when
releasing the GIL.
A "known limitation", which were actually a bug, was fixed because of this commit (see propagate.tcl):
When using a mix of RM_Call with `!` and RM_Replicate, the command would propagate out-of-order:
first all the commands from RM_Call, and then the ones from RM_Replicate
Another thing worth mentioning is that if, in the past, a client would issue a MULTI/EXEC with just one
write command the server would blindly propagate the MULTI/EXEC too, even though it's redundant.
not anymore.
This commit renames propagate() to propagateNow() in order to cause conflicts in pending PRs.
propagatePendingCommands is the only caller of propagateNow, which is now a static, internal helper function.
Optimizations:
1. alsoPropagate will not add stuff to also_propagate if there's no AOF and replicas
2. alsoPropagate reallocs also_propagagte exponentially, to save calls to memmove
Bugfixes:
1. CONFIG SET can create evictions, sending notifications which can cause to dirty++ with modules.
we need to prevent it from propagating to AOF/replicas
2. We need to set current_client in RM_Call. buggy scenario:
- CONFIG SET maxmemory, eviction notifications, module hook calls RM_Call
- assertion in lookupKey crashes, because current_client has CONFIG SET, which isn't CMD_WRITE
3. minor: in eviction, call propagateDeletion after notification, like active-expire and all commands
(we always send a notification before propagating the command)
- add needs:debug flag for some tests
- disable "save" in external tests (speedup?)
- use debug_digest proc instead of debug command directly so it can be skipped
- use OBJECT ENCODING instead of DEBUG OBJECT to get encoding
- add a proc for OBJECT REFCOUNT so it can be skipped
- move a bunch of tests in latency_monitor tests to happen later so that latency monitor has some values in it
- add missing close_replication_stream calls
- make sure to close the temp client if DEBUG LOG fails
Block sensitive configs and commands by default.
* `enable-protected-configs` - block modification of configs with the new `PROTECTED_CONFIG` flag.
Currently we add this flag to `dbfilename`, and `dir` configs,
all of which are non-mutable configs that can set a file redis will write to.
* `enable-debug-command` - block the `DEBUG` command
* `enable-module-command` - block the `MODULE` command
These have a default value set to `no`, so that these features are not
exposed by default to client connections, and can only be set by modifying the config file.
Users can change each of these to either `yes` (allow all access), or `local` (allow access from
local TCP connections and unix domain connections)
Note that this is a **breaking change** (specifically the part about MODULE command being disabled by default).
I.e. we don't consider DEBUG command being blocked as an issue (people shouldn't have been using it),
and the few configs we protected are unlikely to have been set at runtime anyway.
On the other hand, it's likely to assume some users who use modules, load them from the config file anyway.
Note that's the whole point of this PR, for redis to be more secure by default and reduce the attack surface on
innocent users, so secure defaults will necessarily mean a breaking change.
some languages can build a json-like object by parsing a textual json,
but it works poorly when attributes contain hyphens
example in JS:
```
let j = JSON.parse(json)
j['key-name'] <- works
j.key-name <= illegal syntax
```
Delete the hardcoded command table and replace it with an auto-generated table, based
on a JSON file that describes the commands (each command must have a JSON file).
These JSON files are the SSOT of everything there is to know about Redis commands,
and it is reflected fully in COMMAND INFO.
These JSON files are used to generate commands.c (using a python script), which is then
committed to the repo and compiled.
The purpose is:
* Clients and proxies will be able to get much more info from redis, instead of relying on hard coded logic.
* drop the dependency between Redis-user and the commands.json in redis-doc.
* delete help.h and have redis-cli learn everything it needs to know just by issuing COMMAND (will be
done in a separate PR)
* redis.io should stop using commands.json and learn everything from Redis (ultimately one of the release
artifacts should be a large JSON, containing all the information about all of the commands, which will be
generated from COMMAND's reply)
* the byproduct of this is:
* module commands will be able to provide that info and possibly be more of a first-class citizens
* in theory, one may be able to generate a redis client library for a strictly typed language, by using this info.
### Interface changes
#### COMMAND INFO's reply change (and arg-less COMMAND)
Before this commit the reply at index 7 contained the key-specs list
and reply at index 8 contained the sub-commands list (Both unreleased).
Now, reply at index 7 is a map of:
- summary - short command description
- since - debut version
- group - command group
- complexity - complexity string
- doc-flags - flags used for documentation (e.g. "deprecated")
- deprecated-since - if deprecated, from which version?
- replaced-by - if deprecated, which command replaced it?
- history - a list of (version, what-changed) tuples
- hints - a list of strings, meant to provide hints for clients/proxies. see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9876
- arguments - an array of arguments. each element is a map, with the possibility of nesting (sub-arguments)
- key-specs - an array of keys specs (already in unstable, just changed location)
- subcommands - a list of sub-commands (already in unstable, just changed location)
- reply-schema - will be added in the future (see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9845)
more details on these can be found in https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/pull/1697
only the first three fields are mandatory
#### API changes (unreleased API obviously)
now they take RedisModuleCommand opaque pointer instead of looking up the command by name
- RM_CreateSubcommand
- RM_AddCommandKeySpec
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchIndex
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchKeyword
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysRange
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysKeynum
Currently, we did not add module API to provide additional information about their commands because
we couldn't agree on how the API should look like, see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9944.
### Somehow related changes
1. Literals should be in uppercase while placeholder in lowercase. Now all the GEO* command
will be documented with M|KM|FT|MI and can take both lowercase and uppercase
### Unrelated changes
1. Bugfix: no_madaory_keys was absent in COMMAND's reply
2. expose CMD_MODULE as "module" via COMMAND
3. have a dedicated uint64 for ACL categories (instead of having them in the same uint64 as command flags)

In #9323, when `repl-diskless-load` is enabled and set to `swapdb`,
if the master replication ID hasn't changed, we can load data-set
asynchronously, and serving read commands during the full resync.
In `diskless loading short read` test, after a loading successfully,
we will wait for the loading to stop and continue the for loop.
After the introduction of `async_loading`, we also need to check it.
Otherwise the next loop will start too soon, may trigger a timing issue.
Some people complain that QUIT is missing from help/command table.
Not appearing in COMMAND command, command stats, ACL, etc.
and instead, there's a hack in processCommand with a comment that looks outdated.
Note that it is [documented](https://redis.io/commands/quit)
At the same time, HOST: and POST are there in the command table although these are not real commands.
They would appear in the COMMAND command, and even in commandstats.
Other changes:
1. Initialize the static logged_time static var in securityWarningCommand
2. add `no-auth` flag to RESET so it can always be executed.
In both tests, "diskless loading short read" and "diskless loading short read with module",
the timeout of waiting for the replica to respond to a short read and log it, is too short.
Also, add --dump-logs in runtest-moduleapi for valgrind runs.
For diskless replication in swapdb mode, considering we already spend replica memory
having a backup of current db to restore in case of failure, we can have the following benefits
by instead swapping database only in case we succeeded in transferring db from master:
- Avoid `LOADING` response during failed and successful synchronization for cases where the
replica is already up and running with data.
- Faster total time of diskless replication, because now we're moving from Transfer + Flush + Load
time to Transfer + Load only. Flushing the tempDb is done asynchronously after swapping.
- This could be implemented also for disk replication with similar benefits if consumers are willing
to spend the extra memory usage.
General notes:
- The concept of `backupDb` becomes `tempDb` for clarity.
- Async loading mode will only kick in if the replica is syncing from a master that has the same
repl-id the one it had before. i.e. the data it's getting belongs to a different time of the same timeline.
- New property in INFO: `async_loading` to differentiate from the blocking loading
- Slot to Key mapping is now a field of `redisDb` as it's more natural to access it from both server.db
and the tempDb that is passed around.
- Because this is affecting replicas only, we assume that if they are not readonly and write commands
during replication, they are lost after SYNC same way as before, but we're still denying CONFIG SET
here anyways to avoid complications.
Considerations for review:
- We have many cases where server.loading flag is used and even though I tried my best, there may
be cases where async_loading should be checked as well and cases where it shouldn't (would require
very good understanding of whole code)
- Several places that had different behavior depending on the loading flag where actually meant to just
handle commands coming from the AOF client differently than ones coming from real clients, changed
to check CLIENT_ID_AOF instead.
**Additional for Release Notes**
- Bugfix - server.dirty was not incremented for any kind of diskless replication, as effect it wouldn't
contribute on triggering next database SAVE
- New flag for RM_GetContextFlags module API: REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_ASYNC_LOADING
- Deprecated RedisModuleEvent_ReplBackup. Starting from Redis 7.0, we don't fire this event.
Instead, we have the new RedisModuleEvent_ReplAsyncLoad holding 3 sub-events: STARTED,
ABORTED and COMPLETED.
- New module flag REDISMODULE_OPTIONS_HANDLE_REPL_ASYNC_LOAD for RedisModule_SetModuleOptions
to allow modules to declare they support the diskless replication with async loading (when absent, we fall
back to disk-based loading).

The module test in reply.tcl was introduced by #8521 but didn't run until recently (see #9639)
and then it started failing with valgrind.
This is because valgrind uses 64 bit long double (unlike most other platforms that have at least 80 bits)
But besides valgrind, the tests where also incompatible with ARM32, which also uses 64 bit long doubles.
We now use appropriate value to avoid issues with either valgrind or ARM32
In all the double tests, i use 3.141, which is safe since since addReplyDouble uses
`%.17Lg` which is able to represent this value without adding any digits due to precision loss.
In the long double, since we use `%.17Lf` in ld2string, it preserves 17 significant
digits, rather than 17 digit after the decimal point (like in `%.17Lg`).
So to make these similar, i use value lower than 1 (no digits left of
the period)
Lastly, we have the same issue with TCL (no long doubles) so we read
raw protocol in that test.
Note that the only error before this fix (in both valgrind and ARM32 is this:
```
*** [err]: RM_ReplyWithLongDouble: a float reply in tests/unit/moduleapi/reply.tcl
Expected '3.141' to be equal to '3.14100000000000001' (context: type eval line 2 cmd {assert_equal 3.141 [r rw.longdouble 3.141]} proc ::test)
```
so the changes to debug.c and scripting.tcl aren't really needed, but i consider them a cleanup
(i.e. scripting.c validated a different constant than the one that's sent to it from debug.c).
Another unrelated change is to add the RESP version to the repeated tests in reply.tcl
Let modules use additional type of RESP3 response (unused by redis so far)
Also fix tests that where introduced in #8521 but didn't actually run.

## Background
For redis master, one replica uses one copy of replication buffer, that is a big waste of memory,
more replicas more waste, and allocate/free memory for every reply list also cost much.
If we set client-output-buffer-limit small and write traffic is heavy, master may disconnect with
replicas and can't finish synchronization with replica. If we set client-output-buffer-limit big,
master may be OOM when there are many replicas that separately keep much memory.
Because replication buffers of different replica client are the same, one simple idea is that
all replicas only use one replication buffer, that will effectively save memory.
Since replication backlog content is the same as replicas' output buffer, now we
can discard replication backlog memory and use global shared replication buffer
to implement replication backlog mechanism.
## Implementation
I create one global "replication buffer" which contains content of replication stream.
The structure of "replication buffer" is similar to the reply list that exists in every client.
But the node of list is `replBufBlock`, which has `id, repl_offset, refcount` fields.
```c
/* Replication buffer blocks is the list of replBufBlock.
*
* +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
* | refcount = 1 | ... | refcount = 0 | ... | refcount = 2 |
* +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
* | / \
* | / \
* | / \
* Repl Backlog Replia_A Replia_B
*
* Each replica or replication backlog increments only the refcount of the
* 'ref_repl_buf_node' which it points to. So when replica walks to the next
* node, it should first increase the next node's refcount, and when we trim
* the replication buffer nodes, we remove node always from the head node which
* refcount is 0. If the refcount of the head node is not 0, we must stop
* trimming and never iterate the next node. */
/* Similar with 'clientReplyBlock', it is used for shared buffers between
* all replica clients and replication backlog. */
typedef struct replBufBlock {
int refcount; /* Number of replicas or repl backlog using. */
long long id; /* The unique incremental number. */
long long repl_offset; /* Start replication offset of the block. */
size_t size, used;
char buf[];
} replBufBlock;
```
So now when we feed replication stream into replication backlog and all replicas, we only need
to feed stream into replication buffer `feedReplicationBuffer`. In this function, we set some fields of
replication backlog and replicas to references of the global replication buffer blocks. And we also
need to check replicas' output buffer limit to free if exceeding `client-output-buffer-limit`, and trim
replication backlog if exceeding `repl-backlog-size`.
When sending reply to replicas, we also need to iterate replication buffer blocks and send its
content, when totally sending one block for replica, we decrease current node count and
increase the next current node count, and then free the block which reference is 0 from the
head of replication buffer blocks.
Since now we use linked list to manage replication backlog, it may cost much time for iterating
all linked list nodes to find corresponding replication buffer node. So we create a rax tree to
store some nodes for index, but to avoid rax tree occupying too much memory, i record
one per 64 nodes for index.
Currently, to make partial resynchronization as possible as much, we always let replication
backlog as the last reference of replication buffer blocks, backlog size may exceeds our setting
if slow replicas that reference vast replication buffer blocks, and this method doesn't increase
memory usage since they share replication buffer. To avoid freezing server for freeing unreferenced
replication buffer blocks when we need to trim backlog for exceeding backlog size setting,
we trim backlog incrementally (free 64 blocks per call now), and make it faster in
`beforeSleep` (free 640 blocks).
### Other changes
- `mem_total_replication_buffers`: we add this field in INFO command, it means the total
memory of replication buffers used.
- `mem_clients_slaves`: now even replica is slow to replicate, and its output buffer memory
is not 0, but it still may be 0, since replication backlog and replicas share one global replication
buffer, only if replication buffer memory is more than the repl backlog setting size, we consider
the excess as replicas' memory. Otherwise, we think replication buffer memory is the consumption
of repl backlog.
- Key eviction
Since all replicas and replication backlog share global replication buffer, we think only the
part of exceeding backlog size the extra separate consumption of replicas.
Because we trim backlog incrementally in the background, backlog size may exceeds our
setting if slow replicas that reference vast replication buffer blocks disconnect.
To avoid massive eviction loop, we don't count the delayed freed replication backlog into
used memory even if there are no replicas, i.e. we also regard this memory as replicas's memory.
- `client-output-buffer-limit` check for replica clients
It doesn't make sense to set the replica clients output buffer limit lower than the repl-backlog-size
config (partial sync will succeed and then replica will get disconnected). Such a configuration is
ignored (the size of repl-backlog-size will be used). This doesn't have memory consumption
implications since the replica client will share the backlog buffers memory.
- Drop replication backlog after loading data if needed
We always create replication backlog if server is a master, we need it because we put DELs in
it when loading expired keys in RDB, but if RDB doesn't have replication info or there is no rdb,
it is not possible to support partial resynchronization, to avoid extra memory of replication backlog,
we drop it.
- Multi IO threads
Since all replicas and replication backlog use global replication buffer, if I/O threads are enabled,
to guarantee data accessing thread safe, we must let main thread handle sending the output buffer
to all replicas. But before, other IO threads could handle sending output buffer of all replicas.
## Other optimizations
This solution resolve some other problem:
- When replicas disconnect with master since of out of output buffer limit, releasing the output
buffer of replicas may freeze server if we set big `client-output-buffer-limit` for replicas, but now,
it doesn't cause freezing.
- This implementation may mitigate reply list copy cost time(also freezes server) when one replication
has huge reply buffer and another replica can copy buffer for full synchronization. now, we just copy
reference info, it is very light.
- If we set replication backlog size big, it also may cost much time to copy replication backlog into
replica's output buffer. But this commit eliminates this problem.
- Resizing replication backlog size doesn't empty current replication backlog content.
Before this commit, module blocked clients did not carry through the original RESP version, resulting with RESP3 clients receiving unexpected RESP2 replies.
Following #9483 the daily CI exposed a few problems.
* The cluster creation code (uses redis-cli) is complicated to test with TLS enabled.
for now i'm just skipping them since the tests we run there don't really need that kind of coverage
* cluster port binding failures
note that `find_available_port` already looks for a free cluster port
but the code in `wait_server_started` couldn't detect the failure of binding
(the text it greps for wasn't found in the log)
## Intro
The purpose is to allow having different flags/ACL categories for
subcommands (Example: CONFIG GET is ok-loading but CONFIG SET isn't)
We create a small command table for every command that has subcommands
and each subcommand has its own flags, etc. (same as a "regular" command)
This commit also unites the Redis and the Sentinel command tables
## Affected commands
CONFIG
Used to have "admin ok-loading ok-stale no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "ok-loading" in all except GET (this doesn't change behavior since
there were checks in the code doing that)
XINFO
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except CONSUMERS
XGROUP
Used to have "write use-memory"
Changes:
1. Dropped "use-memory" in all except CREATE and CREATECONSUMER
COMMAND
No changes.
MEMORY
Used to have "random read-only"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in PURGE and USAGE
ACL
Used to have "admin no-script ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin" in WHOAMI, GENPASS, and CAT
LATENCY
No changes.
MODULE
No changes.
SLOWLOG
Used to have "admin random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in RESET
OBJECT
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in ENCODING and REFCOUNT
SCRIPT
Used to have "may-replicate no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "may-replicate" in all except FLUSH and LOAD
CLIENT
Used to have "admin no-script random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except INFO and LIST
2. Dropped "admin" in ID, TRACKING, CACHING, GETREDIR, INFO, SETNAME, GETNAME, and REPLY
STRALGO
No changes.
PUBSUB
No changes.
CLUSTER
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin in countkeysinslots, getkeysinslot, info, nodes, keyslot, myid, and slots
SENTINEL
No changes.
(note that DEBUG also fits, but we decided not to convert it since it's for
debugging and anyway undocumented)
## New sub-command
This commit adds another element to the per-command output of COMMAND,
describing the list of subcommands, if any (in the same structure as "regular" commands)
Also, it adds a new subcommand:
```
COMMAND LIST [FILTERBY (MODULE <module-name>|ACLCAT <cat>|PATTERN <pattern>)]
```
which returns a set of all commands (unless filters), but excluding subcommands.
## Module API
A new module API, RM_CreateSubcommand, was added, in order to allow
module writer to define subcommands
## ACL changes:
1. Now, that each subcommand is actually a command, each has its own ACL id.
2. The old mechanism of allowed_subcommands is redundant
(blocking/allowing a subcommand is the same as blocking/allowing a regular command),
but we had to keep it, to support the widespread usage of allowed_subcommands
to block commands with certain args, that aren't subcommands (e.g. "-select +select|0").
3. I have renamed allowed_subcommands to allowed_firstargs to emphasize the difference.
4. Because subcommands are commands in ACL too, you can now use "-" to block subcommands
(e.g. "+client -client|kill"), which wasn't possible in the past.
5. It is also possible to use the allowed_firstargs mechanism with subcommand.
For example: `+config -config|set +config|set|loglevel` will block all CONFIG SET except
for setting the log level.
6. All of the ACL changes above required some amount of refactoring.
## Misc
1. There are two approaches: Either each subcommand has its own function or all
subcommands use the same function, determining what to do according to argv[0].
For now, I took the former approaches only with CONFIG and COMMAND,
while other commands use the latter approach (for smaller blamelog diff).
2. Deleted memoryGetKeys: It is no longer needed because MEMORY USAGE now uses the "range" key spec.
4. Bugfix: GETNAME was missing from CLIENT's help message.
5. Sentinel and Redis now use the same table, with the same function pointer.
Some commands have a different implementation in Sentinel, so we redirect
them (these are ROLE, PUBLISH, and INFO).
6. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (e.g. instead of stats just
for "config" you will have stats for "config|set", "config|get", etc.)
7. It is now possible to use COMMAND directly on subcommands:
COMMAND INFO CONFIG|GET (The pipeline syntax was inspired from ACL, and
can be used in functions lookupCommandBySds and lookupCommandByCString)
8. STRALGO is now a container command (has "help")
## Breaking changes:
1. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (see (5) above)
Prevent clients from being blocked forever in cluster when they block with their own module command
and the hash slot is migrated to another master at the same time.
These will get a redirection message when unblocked.
Also, release clients blocked on module commands when cluster is down (same as other blocked clients)
This commit adds basic tests for the main (non-cluster) redis test infra that test the cluster.
This was done because the cluster test infra can't handle some common test features,
but most importantly we only build the test modules with the non-cluster test suite.
note that rather than really supporting cluster operations by the test infra, it was added (as dup code)
in two files, one for module tests and one for non-modules tests, maybe in the future we'll refactor that.

This commit introduced a new flag to the RM_Call:
'C' - Check if the command can be executed according to the ACLs associated with it.
Also, three new API's added to check if a command, key, or channel can be executed or accessed
by a user, according to the ACLs associated with it.
- RM_ACLCheckCommandPerm
- RM_ACLCheckKeyPerm
- RM_ACLCheckChannelPerm
The user for these API's is a RedisModuleUser object, that for a Module user returned by the RM_CreateModuleUser API, or for a general ACL user can be retrieved by these two new API's:
- RM_GetCurrentUserName - Retrieve the user name of the client connection behind the current context.
- RM_GetModuleUserFromUserName - Get a RedisModuleUser from a user name
As a result of getting a RedisModuleUser from name, it can now also access the general ACL users (not just ones created by the module).
This mean the already existing API RM_SetModuleUserACL(), can be used to change the ACL rules for such users.
Fix#7297
The problem:
Today, there is no way for a client library or app to know the key name indexes for commands such as
ZUNIONSTORE/EVAL and others with "numkeys", since COMMAND INFO returns no useful info for them.
For cluster-aware redis clients, this requires to 'patch' the client library code specifically for each of these commands or to
resolve each execution of these commands with COMMAND GETKEYS.
The solution:
Introducing key specs other than the legacy "range" (first,last,step)
The 8th element of the command info array, if exists, holds an array of key specs. The array may be empty, which indicates
the command doesn't take any key arguments or may contain one or more key-specs, each one may leads to the discovery
of 0 or more key arguments.
A client library that doesn't support this key-spec feature will keep using the first,last,step and movablekeys flag which will
obviously remain unchanged.
A client that supports this key-specs feature needs only to look at the key-specs array. If it finds an unrecognized spec, it
must resort to using COMMAND GETKEYS if it wishes to get all key name arguments, but if all it needs is one key in order
to know which cluster node to use, then maybe another spec (if the command has several) can supply that, and there's no
need to use GETKEYS.
Each spec is an array of arguments, first one is the spec name, the second is an array of flags, and the third is an array
containing details about the spec (specific meaning for each spec type)
The initial flags we support are "read" and "write" indicating if the keys that this key-spec finds are used for read or for write.
clients should ignore any unfamiliar flags.
In order to easily find the positions of keys in a given array of args we introduce keys specs. There are two logical steps of
key specs:
1. `start_search`: Given an array of args, indicate where we should start searching for keys
2. `find_keys`: Given the output of start_search and an array of args, indicate all possible indices of keys.
### start_search step specs
- `index`: specify an argument index explicitly
- `index`: 0 based index (1 means the first command argument)
- `keyword`: specify a string to match in `argv`. We should start searching for keys just after the keyword appears.
- `keyword`: the string to search for
- `start_search`: an index from which to start the keyword search (can be negative, which means to search from the end)
Examples:
- `SET` has start_search of type `index` with value `1`
- `XREAD` has start_search of type `keyword` with value `[“STREAMS”,1]`
- `MIGRATE` has start_search of type `keyword` with value `[“KEYS”,-2]`
### find_keys step specs
- `range`: specify `[count, step, limit]`.
- `lastkey`: index of the last key. relative to the index returned from begin_search. -1 indicating till the last argument, -2 one before the last
- `step`: how many args should we skip after finding a key, in order to find the next one
- `limit`: if count is -1, we use limit to stop the search by a factor. 0 and 1 mean no limit. 2 means ½ of the remaining args, 3 means ⅓, and so on.
- “keynum”: specify `[keynum_index, first_key_index, step]`.
- `keynum_index`: is relative to the return of the `start_search` spec.
- `first_key_index`: is relative to `keynum_index`.
- `step`: how many args should we skip after finding a key, in order to find the next one
Examples:
- `SET` has `range` of `[0,1,0]`
- `MSET` has `range` of `[-1,2,0]`
- `XREAD` has `range` of `[-1,1,2]`
- `ZUNION` has `start_search` of type `index` with value `1` and `find_keys` of type `keynum` with value `[0,1,1]`
- `AI.DAGRUN` has `start_search` of type `keyword` with value `[“LOAD“,1]` and `find_keys` of type `keynum` with value
`[0,1,1]` (see https://oss.redislabs.com/redisai/master/commands/#aidagrun)
Note: this solution is not perfect as the module writers can come up with anything, but at least we will be able to find the key
args of the vast majority of commands.
If one of the above specs can’t describe the key positions, the module writer can always fall back to the `getkeys-api` option.
Some keys cannot be found easily (`KEYS` in `MIGRATE`: Imagine the argument for `AUTH` is the string “KEYS” - we will
start searching in the wrong index).
The guarantee is that the specs may be incomplete (`incomplete` will be specified in the spec to denote that) but we never
report false information (assuming the command syntax is correct).
For `MIGRATE` we start searching from the end - `startfrom=-1` - and if one of the keys is actually called "keys" we will
report only a subset of all keys - hence the `incomplete` flag.
Some `incomplete` specs can be completely empty (i.e. UNKNOWN begin_search) which should tell the client that
COMMAND GETKEYS (or any other way to get the keys) must be used (Example: For `SORT` there is no way to describe
the STORE keyword spec, as the word "store" can appear anywhere in the command).
We will expose these key specs in the `COMMAND` command so that clients can learn, on startup, where the keys are for
all commands instead of holding hardcoded tables or use `COMMAND GETKEYS` in runtime.
Comments:
1. Redis doesn't internally use the new specs, they are only used for COMMAND output.
2. In order to support the current COMMAND INFO format (reply array indices 4, 5, 6) we created a synthetic range, called
legacy_range, that, if possible, is built according to the new specs.
3. Redis currently uses only getkeys_proc or the legacy_range to get the keys indices (in COMMAND GETKEYS for
example).
"incomplete" specs:
the command we have issues with are MIGRATE, STRALGO, and SORT
for MIGRATE, because the token KEYS, if exists, must be the last token, we can search in reverse. it one of the keys is
actually the string "keys" will return just a subset of the keys (hence, it's "incomplete")
for SORT and STRALGO we can use this heuristic (the keys can be anywhere in the command) and therefore we added a
key spec that is both "incomplete" and of "unknown type"
if a client encounters an "incomplete" spec it means that it must find a different way (either COMMAND GETKEYS or have
its own parser) to retrieve the keys.
please note that all commands, apart from the three mentioned above, have "complete" key specs
List functions operating on elements by index:
* RM_ListGet
* RM_ListSet
* RM_ListInsert
* RM_ListDelete
Iteration is done using a simple for loop over indices.
The index based functions use an internal iterator as an optimization.
This is explained in the docs:
```
* Many of the list functions access elements by index. Since a list is in
* essence a doubly-linked list, accessing elements by index is generally an
* O(N) operation. However, if elements are accessed sequentially or with
* indices close together, the functions are optimized to seek the index from
* the previous index, rather than seeking from the ends of the list.
*
* This enables iteration to be done efficiently using a simple for loop:
*
* long n = RM_ValueLength(key);
* for (long i = 0; i < n; i++) {
* RedisModuleString *elem = RedisModule_ListGet(key, i);
* // Do stuff...
* }
```
## Current state
1. Lua has its own parser that handles parsing `reds.call` replies and translates them
to Lua objects that can be used by the user Lua code. The parser partially handles
resp3 (missing big number, verbatim, attribute, ...)
2. Modules have their own parser that handles parsing `RM_Call` replies and translates
them to RedisModuleCallReply objects. The parser does not support resp3.
In addition, in the future, we want to add Redis Function (#8693) that will probably
support more languages. At some point maintaining so many parsers will stop
scaling (bug fixes and protocol changes will need to be applied on all of them).
We will probably end up with different parsers that support different parts of the
resp protocol (like we already have today with Lua and modules)
## PR Changes
This PR attempt to unified the reply parsing of Lua and modules (and in the future
Redis Function) by introducing a new parser unit (`resp_parser.c`). The new parser
handles parsing the reply and calls different callbacks to allow the users (another
unit that uses the parser, i.e, Lua, modules, or Redis Function) to analyze the reply.
### Lua API Additions
The code that handles reply parsing on `scripting.c` was removed. Instead, it uses
the resp_parser to parse and create a Lua object out of the reply. As mentioned
above the Lua parser did not handle parsing big numbers, verbatim, and attribute.
The new parser can handle those and so Lua also gets it for free.
Those are translated to Lua objects in the following way:
1. Big Number - Lua table `{'big_number':'<str representation for big number>'}`
2. Verbatim - Lua table `{'verbatim_string':{'format':'<verbatim format>', 'string':'<verbatim string value>'}}`
3. Attribute - currently ignored and not expose to the Lua parser, another issue will be open to decide how to expose it.
Tests were added to check resp3 reply parsing on Lua
### Modules API Additions
The reply parsing code on `module.c` was also removed and the new resp_parser is used instead.
In addition, the RedisModuleCallReply was also extracted to a separate unit located on `call_reply.c`
(in the future, this unit will also be used by Redis Function). A nice side effect of unified parsing is
that modules now also support resp3. Resp3 can be enabled by giving `3` as a parameter to the
fmt argument of `RM_Call`. It is also possible to give `0`, which will indicate an auto mode. i.e, Redis
will automatically chose the reply protocol base on the current client set on the RedisModuleCtx
(this mode will mostly be used when the module want to pass the reply to the client as is).
In addition, the following RedisModuleAPI were added to allow analyzing resp3 replies:
* New RedisModuleCallReply types:
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_MAP`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_SET`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_BOOL`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_DOUBLE`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_BIG_NUMBER`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_VERBATIM_STRING`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_ATTRIBUTE`
* New RedisModuleAPI:
* `RedisModule_CallReplyDouble` - getting double value from resp3 double reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyBool` - getting boolean value from resp3 boolean reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyBigNumber` - getting big number value from resp3 big number reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyVerbatim` - getting format and value from resp3 verbatim reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplySetElement` - getting element from resp3 set reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyMapElement` - getting key and value from resp3 map reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyAttribute` - getting a reply attribute
* `RedisModule_CallReplyAttributeElement` - getting key and value from resp3 attribute reply
* New context flags:
* `REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_RESP3` - indicate that the client is using resp3
Tests were added to check the new RedisModuleAPI
### Modules API Changes
* RM_ReplyWithCallReply might return REDISMODULE_ERR if the given CallReply is in resp3
but the client expects resp2. This is not a breaking change because in order to get a resp3
CallReply one needs to specifically specify `3` as a parameter to the fmt argument of
`RM_Call` (as mentioned above).
Tests were added to check this change
### More small Additions
* Added `debug set-disable-deny-scripts` that allows to turn on and off the commands no-script
flag protection. This is used by the Lua resp3 tests so it will be possible to run `debug protocol`
and check the resp3 parsing code.

Modules that use background threads with thread safe contexts are likely
to use RM_BlockClient() without a timeout function, because they do not
set up a timeout.
Before this commit, `CLIENT UNBLOCK` would result with a crash as the
`NULL` timeout callback is called. Beyond just crashing, this is also
logically wrong as it may throw the module into an unexpected client
state.
This commits makes `CLIENT UNBLOCK` on such clients behave the same as
any other client that is not in a blocked state and therefore cannot be
unblocked.
Previously, passing 0 for newlen would not truncate the string at all.
This adds handling of this case, freeing the old string and creating a new empty string.
Other changes:
- Move `src/modules/testmodule.c` to `tests/modules/basics.c`
- Introduce that basic test into the test suite
- Add tests to cover StringTruncate
- Add `test-modules` build target for the main makefile
- Extend `distclean` build target to clean modules too
Create new module type enhanced callbacks: mem_usage2, free_effort2, unlink2, copy2.
These will be given a context point from which the module can obtain the key name and database id.
In addition the digest and defrag context can now be used to obtain the key name and database id.
This PR adds a spell checker CI action that will fail future PRs if they introduce typos and spelling mistakes.
This spell checker is based on blacklist of common spelling mistakes, so it will not catch everything,
but at least it is also unlikely to cause false positives.
Besides that, the PR also fixes many spelling mistakes and types, not all are a result of the spell checker we use.
Here's a summary of other changes:
1. Scanned the entire source code and fixes all sorts of typos and spelling mistakes (including missing or extra spaces).
2. Outdated function / variable / argument names in comments
3. Fix outdated keyspace masks error log when we check `config.notify-keyspace-events` in loadServerConfigFromString.
4. Trim the white space at the end of line in `module.c`. Check: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/7751
5. Some outdated https link URLs.
6. Fix some outdated comment. Such as:
- In README: about the rdb, we used to said create a `thread`, change to `process`
- dbRandomKey function coment (about the dictGetRandomKey, change to dictGetFairRandomKey)
- notifyKeyspaceEvent fucntion comment (add type arg)
- Some others minor fix in comment (Most of them are incorrectly quoted by variable names)
7. Modified the error log so that users can easily distinguish between TCP and TLS in `changeBindAddr`
Adding a new type mask for key space notification, REDISMODULE_NOTIFY_MODULE, to enable unique notifications from commands on REDISMODULE_KEYTYPE_MODULE type keys (which is currently unsupported).
Modules can subscribe to a module key keyspace notification by RM_SubscribeToKeyspaceEvents,
and clients by notify-keyspace-events of redis.conf or via the CONFIG SET, with the characters 'd' or 'A'
(REDISMODULE_NOTIFY_MODULE type mask is part of the '**A**ll' notation for key space notifications).
Refactor: move some pubsub test infra from pubsub.tcl to util.tcl to be re-used by other tests.
Before this commit using RM_Call without "!" could cause the master
to lazy-expire a key (delete it) but without replicating to replicas.
This could cause the replica's memory usage to gradually grow and
could also cause consistency issues if the master and replica have
a clock diff.
This bug was introduced in #8617
Added a test which demonstrates that scenario.
1. moduleReplicateMultiIfNeeded should use server.in_eval like
moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback
2. server.in_eval could have been set to 1 and not reset back
to 0 (a lot of missed early-exits after in_eval is already 1)
Note: The new assertions in processCommand cover (2) and I added
two module tests to cover (1)
Implications:
If an EVAL that failed (and thus left server.in_eval=1) runs before a module
command that replicates, the replication stream will contain MULTI (because
moduleReplicateMultiIfNeeded used to check server.lua_caller which is NULL
at this point) but not EXEC (because server.in_eval==1)
This only affects modules as module.c the only user of server.in_eval.
Affects versions 6.2.0, 6.2.1
Bug 1:
When a module ctx is freed moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback
is called and handles propagation. We want to prevent it from propagating
commands that were not replicated by the same context. Example:
1. module1.foo does: RM_Replicate(cmd1); RM_Call(cmd2); RM_Replicate(cmd3)
2. RM_Replicate(cmd1) propagates MULTI and adds cmd1 to also_propagagte
3. RM_Call(cmd2) create a new ctx, calls call() and destroys the ctx.
4. moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback is called, calling
alsoPropagates EXEC (Note: EXEC is still not written to socket),
setting server.in_trnsaction = 0
5. RM_Replicate(cmd3) is called, propagagting yet another MULTI (now
we have nested MULTI calls, which is no good) and then cmd3
We must prevent RM_Call(cmd2) from resetting server.in_transaction.
REDISMODULE_CTX_MULTI_EMITTED was revived for that purpose.
Bug 2:
Fix issues with nested RM_Call where some have '!' and some don't.
Example:
1. module1.foo does RM_Call of module2.bar without replication (i.e. no '!')
2. module2.bar internally calls RM_Call of INCR with '!'
3. at the end of module1.foo we call RM_ReplicateVerbatim
We want the replica/AOF to see only module1.foo and not the INCR from module2.bar
Introduced a global replication_allowed flag inside RM_Call to determine
whether we need to replicate or not (even if '!' was specified)
Other changes:
Split beforePropagateMultiOrExec to beforePropagateMulti afterPropagateExec
just for better readability
Because when the RM_Call is invoked. It will create a faker client.
The point is client connection is NULL, so server will crash in connGetInfo
Co-authored-by: Viktor Söderqvist <viktor.soderqvist@est.tech>
A single client pointer is added in the server struct. This is
initialized by the first RM_Call() and reused for every subsequent
RM_Call() except if it's already in use, which means that it's not
used for (recursive) module calls to modules. For these, a new
"fake" client is created each time.
Other changes:
* Avoid allocating a dict iterator in pubsubUnsubscribeAllChannels
when not needed
The added flag affects the return value of RM_HashSet() to include
the number of inserted fields, in addition to updated and deleted
fields.
errno is set on errors, tests are added and documentation updated.
- removes time sensitive checks from block on background tests during leak checks.
- fix uninitialized variable on RedisModuleBlockedClient() when calling
RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeEnd() without RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart()
The test failed from time to time on Github actions.
We think it's possible that on the module's blocking timeout
time tracking test, the timeout is happening prior we issue the
RedisModule_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart(bc) on the
background thread. If that is the case one possible solution
is to increase the timeout.
Increasing to 200ms to 500ms to see if nightly stops failing.
