The scan key module API provides the scan callback with the current
field name and value (if it exists). Those arguments are RedisModuleString*
which means it supposes to point to robj which is encoded as a string.
Using createStringObjectFromLongLong function might return robj that
points to an integer and so break a module that tries for example to
use RedisModule_StringPtrLen on the given field/value.
The PR introduces a fix that uses the createObject function and sdsfromlonglong function.
Using those function promise that the field and value pass to the to the
scan callback will be Strings.
The PR also changes the Scan test module to use RedisModule_StringPtrLen
to catch the issue. without this, the issue is hidden because
RedisModule_ReplyWithString knows to handle integer encoding of the
given robj (RedisModuleString).
The PR also introduces a new test to verify the issue is solved.
- Adding RM_ScanKey
- Adding tests for RM_ScanKey
- Refactoring RM_Scan API
Changes in RM_Scan
- cleanup in docs and coding convention
- Moving out of experimantal Api
- Adding ctx to scan callback
- Dont use cursor of -1 as an indication of done (can be a valid cursor)
- Set errno when returning 0 for various reasons
- Rename Cursor to ScanCursor
- Test filters key that are not strings, and opens a key if NULL
The implementation expose the following new functions:
1. RedisModule_CursorCreate - allow to create a new cursor object for
keys scanning
2. RedisModule_CursorRestart - restart an existing cursor to restart the
scan
3. RedisModule_CursorDestroy - destroy an existing cursor
4. RedisModule_Scan - scan keys
The RedisModule_Scan function gets a cursor object, a callback and void*
(used as user private data).
The callback will be called for each key in the database proving the key
name and the value as RedisModuleKey.
