If we turn from diskless to disk-based replication via CONFIG SET, we
need a way to start a BGSAVE if there are slaves alerady waiting for a
BGSAVE to start. Normally with disk-based replication we do it as soon
as the previous child exits, but when there is a configuration change
via CONFIG SET, we may have slaves in WAIT_BGSAVE_START state without
an RDB background process currently active.
Fdset target is used when we want to write an RDB file directly to
slave's sockets. In this setup as long as there is a single slave that
is still receiving our payload, we want to continue sennding instead of
aborting. However rio calls should abort of no FD is ok.
Also we want the errors reported so that we can signal the parent who is
ok and who is broken, so there is a new set integers with the state of
each fd. Zero is ok, non-zero is the errno of the failure, if avaialble,
or a generic EIO.
We need to remember what is the saving strategy of the current RDB child
process, since the configuration may be modified at runtime via CONFIG
SET and still we'll need to understand, when the child exists, what to
do and for what goal the process was initiated: to create an RDB file
on disk or to write stuff directly to slave's sockets.
However we don't try to do this if the integer is already inside a range
representable with a shared integer.
The performance gain appears to be around ~15% in micro benchmarks,
however in the long run this also helps to improve locality, so should
have more, hard to measure, benefits.
Some language in the comment was difficult
to understand, so this commit: clarifies wording, removes
unnecessary words, and relocates some dependent clauses
closer to what they actually describe.
I also tried to break up longer chains of thought
(if X, then Y, and Q, and also F, so obviously M)
into more manageable chunks for ease of understanding.
- Remove trailing newlines from redis.conf
- Fix comment misspelling
- Clarifies zipEncodeLength usage and a C API mention (#1243, #1242)
- Fix cluster typos (inspired by @papanikge #1507)
- Fix rewite -> rewrite in a few places (inspired by #682)
Closes#1243, #1242, #1507
The core linenoise code was being backported, but not
the README or example. It's less confusing for users
if everything matches across directories.
Fix inspired by @thrig
Closes#1872
