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.
