This PR makes sure that "name" is unique for all arguments in the same
level (i.e. all args of a command and all args within a block/oneof).
This means several argument with identical meaning can be referred to together,
but also if someone needs to refer to a specific one, they can use its full path.
In addition, the "display_text" field has been added, to be used by redis.io
in order to render the syntax of the command (for the vast majority it is
identical to "name" but sometimes we want to use a different string
that is not "name")
The "display" field is exposed via COMMAND DOCS and will be present
for every argument, except "oneof" and "block" (which are container
arguments)
Other changes:
1. Make sure we do not have any container arguments ("oneof" or "block")
that contain less than two sub-args (otherwise it doesn't make sense)
2. migrate.json: both AUTH and AUTH2 should not be "optional"
3. arg names cannot contain underscores, and force the usage of hyphens
(most of these were a result of the script that generated the initial json files
from redis.io commands.json).
There are some commands that has the wrong key specs.
This PR adds a key-spec related check in generate-command-code.py.
Check if the index is valid, or if there is an unused index.
The check result will look like:
```
[root]# python utils/generate-command-code.py
Processing json files...
Linking container command to subcommands...
Checking all commands...
command: RESTORE_ASKING may have unused key_spec
command: RENAME may have unused key_spec
command: PFDEBUG may have unused key_spec
command: WATCH key_specs missing flags
command: LCS arg: key2 key_spec_index error
command: RENAMENX may have unused key_spec
Error: There are errors in the commands check, please check the above logs.
```
The following commands have been fixed according to the check results:
- RESTORE ASKING: add missing arguments section (and history section)
- RENAME: newkey's key_spec_index should be 1
- PFDEBUG: add missing arguments (and change the arity from -3 to 3)
- WATCH: add missing key_specs flags: RO, like EXIST (it allow you to know the key exists, or is modified, but doesn't "leak" the data)
- LCS: key2 key_spec_index error, there is only one key-spec
- RENAMENX: newkey's key_spec_index should be 1
Apparently, some modules can afford deprecating command arguments
(something that was never done in Redis, AFAIK), so in order to represent
this piece of information, we added the `deprecated_since` field to redisCommandArg
(in symmetry to the already existing `since` field).
This commit adds `const char *deprecated_since` to `RedisModuleCommandArg`,
which is technically a breaking change, but since 7.0 was not released yet, we decided to let it slide
Add optional `notes` to keyspecs.
Other changes:
1. Remove the "incomplete" flag from SORT and SORT_RO: it is misleading since "incomplete" means "this spec may not return all the keys it describes" but SORT and SORT_RO's specs (except the input key) do not return any keys at all.
So basically:
If a spec's begin_search is "unknown" you should not use it at all, you must use COMMAND KEYS;
if a spec itself is "incomplete", you can use it to get a partial list of keys, but if you want all of them you must use COMMAND GETKEYS;
otherwise, the spec will return all the keys
2. `getKeysUsingKeySpecs` handles incomplete specs internally
Adding command tips (see https://redis.io/topics/command-tips) to commands.
Breaking changes:
1. Removed the "random" and "sort_for_script" flags. They are now command tips.
(this isn't affecting redis behavior since #9812, but could affect some client applications
that's relying on COMMAND command flags)
Summary of changes:
1. add BLOCKING flag (new flag) for all commands that could block. The ACL category with
the same name is now implicit.
2. move RANDOM flag to a `nondeterministic_output` tip
3. move SORT_FOR_SCRIPT flag to `nondeterministic_output_order` tip
3. add REQUEST_POLICY and RESPONSE_POLICY where appropriate as documented in the tips
4. deprecate (ignore) the `random` flag for RM_CreateCommand
Other notes:
1. Proxies need to send `RANDOMKEY` to all shards and then select one key randomly.
The other option is to pick a random shard and transfer `RANDOMKEY `to it, but that scheme
fails if this specific shard is empty
2. Remove CMD_RANDOM from `XACK` (i.e. XACK does not have RANDOM_OUTPUT)
It was added in 9e4fb96ca1, I guess by mistake.
Also from `(P)EXPIRETIME` (new command, was flagged "random" by mistake).
3. Add `nondeterministic_output` to `OBJECT ENCODING` (for the same reason `XTRIM` has it:
the reply may differ depending on the internal representation in memory)
4. RANDOM on `HGETALL` was wrong (there due to a limitation of the old script sorting logic), now
it's `nondeterministic_output_order`
5. Unrelated: Hide CMD_PROTECTED from COMMAND
In #10122, we modify the key spec flags to `RO` and `ACCESS`.
But forgot to call generate-command-code.py. Also formatted
it to follow the Python PEP8.
The new ACL key based permissions in #9974 require the key-specs (#8324) to have more
explicit flags rather than just READ and WRITE. See discussion in #10040
This PR defines two groups of flags:
One about how redis internally handles the key (mutually-exclusive).
The other is about the logical operation done from the user's point of view (3 mutually exclusive
write flags, and one read flag, all optional).
In both groups, if we can't explicitly flag something as explicit read-only, delete-only, or
insert-only, we flag it as `RW` or `UPDATE`.
here's the definition from the code:
```
/* Key-spec flags *
* -------------- */
/* The following refer what the command actually does with the value or metadata
* of the key, and not necessarily the user data or how it affects it.
* Each key-spec may must have exaclty one of these. Any operation that's not
* distinctly deletion, overwrite or read-only would be marked as RW. */
#define CMD_KEY_RO (1ULL<<0) /* Read-Only - Reads the value of the key, but
* doesn't necessarily returns it. */
#define CMD_KEY_RW (1ULL<<1) /* Read-Write - Modifies the data stored in the
* value of the key or its metadata. */
#define CMD_KEY_OW (1ULL<<2) /* Overwrite - Overwrites the data stored in
* the value of the key. */
#define CMD_KEY_RM (1ULL<<3) /* Deletes the key. */
/* The follwing refer to user data inside the value of the key, not the metadata
* like LRU, type, cardinality. It refers to the logical operation on the user's
* data (actual input strings / TTL), being used / returned / copied / changed,
* It doesn't refer to modification or returning of metadata (like type, count,
* presence of data). Any write that's not INSERT or DELETE, would be an UPADTE.
* Each key-spec may have one of the writes with or without access, or none: */
#define CMD_KEY_ACCESS (1ULL<<4) /* Returns, copies or uses the user data from
* the value of the key. */
#define CMD_KEY_UPDATE (1ULL<<5) /* Updates data to the value, new value may
* depend on the old value. */
#define CMD_KEY_INSERT (1ULL<<6) /* Adds data to the value with no chance of,
* modification or deletion of existing data. */
#define CMD_KEY_DELETE (1ULL<<7) /* Explicitly deletes some content
* from the value of the key. */
```
Unrelated changes:
- generate-command-code.py is only compatible with python3 (modified the shabang)
- generate-command-code.py print file on json parsing error
- rename `shard_channel` key-spec flag to just `channel`.
- add INCOMPLETE flag in input spec of SORT and SORT_RO
Sort the sub-commands so that every time we execute the script it generates the exact same results.
This will case less merge conflicts if two PRs edit different json files.
also:
* make the script agnostic to where it is executed (more flexible).
* add documentation about commands.c and the json files in the readme.

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)
