# Redis Functions Flags
Following the discussion on #10025 Added Functions Flags support.
The PR is divided to 2 sections:
* Add named argument support to `redis.register_function` API.
* Add support for function flags
## `redis.register_function` named argument support
The first part of the PR adds support for named argument on `redis.register_function`, example:
```
redis.register_function{
function_name='f1',
callback=function()
return 'hello'
end,
description='some desc'
}
```
The positional arguments is also kept, which means that it still possible to write:
```
redis.register_function('f1', function() return 'hello' end)
```
But notice that it is no longer possible to pass the optional description argument on the positional
argument version. Positional argument was change to allow passing only the mandatory arguments
(function name and callback). To pass more arguments the user must use the named argument version.
As with positional arguments, the `function_name` and `callback` is mandatory and an error will be
raise if those are missing. Also, an error will be raise if an unknown argument name is given or the
arguments type is wrong.
Tests was added to verify the new syntax.
## Functions Flags
The second part of the PR is adding functions flags support.
Flags are given to Redis when the engine calls `functionLibCreateFunction`, supported flags are:
* `no-writes` - indicating the function perform no writes which means that it is OK to run it on:
* read-only replica
* Using FCALL_RO
* If disk error detected
It will not be possible to run a function in those situations unless the function turns on the `no-writes` flag
* `allow-oom` - indicate that its OK to run the function even if Redis is in OOM state, if the function will
not turn on this flag it will not be possible to run it if OOM reached (even if the function declares `no-writes`
and even if `fcall_ro` is used). If this flag is set, any command will be allow on OOM (even those that is
marked with CMD_DENYOOM). The assumption is that this flag is for advance users that knows its
meaning and understand what they are doing, and Redis trust them to not increase the memory usage.
(e.g. it could be an INCR or a modification on an existing key, or a DEL command)
* `allow-state` - indicate that its OK to run the function on stale replica, in this case we will also make
sure the function is only perform `stale` commands and raise an error if not.
* `no-cluster` - indicate to disallow running the function if cluster is enabled.
Default behaviure of functions (if no flags is given):
1. Allow functions to read and write
2. Do not run functions on OOM
3. Do not run functions on stale replica
4. Allow functions on cluster
### Lua API for functions flags
On Lua engine, it is possible to give functions flags as `flags` named argument:
```
redis.register_function{function_name='f1', callback=function() return 1 end, flags={'no-writes', 'allow-oom'}, description='description'}
```
The function flags argument must be a Lua table that contains all the requested flags, The following
will result in an error:
* Unknown flag
* Wrong flag type
Default behaviour is the same as if no flags are used.
Tests were added to verify all flags functionality
## Additional changes
* mark FCALL and FCALL_RO with CMD_STALE flag (unlike EVAL), so that they can run if the function was
registered with the `allow-stale` flag.
* Verify `CMD_STALE` on `scriptCall` (`redis.call`), so it will not be possible to call commands from script while
stale unless the command is marked with the `CMD_STALE` flags. so that even if the function is allowed while
stale we do not allow it to bypass the `CMD_STALE` flag of commands.
* Flags section was added to `FUNCTION LIST` command to provide the set of flags for each function:
```
> FUNCTION list withcode
1) 1) "library_name"
2) "test"
3) "engine"
4) "LUA"
5) "description"
6) (nil)
7) "functions"
8) 1) 1) "name"
2) "f1"
3) "description"
4) (nil)
5) "flags"
6) (empty array)
9) "library_code"
10) "redis.register_function{function_name='f1', callback=function() return 1 end}"
```
* Added API to get Redis version from within a script, The redis version can be provided using:
1. `redis.REDIS_VERSION` - string representation of the redis version in the format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATH
2. `redis.REDIS_VERSION_NUM` - number representation of the redis version in the format of `0x00MMmmpp`
(`MM` - major, `mm` - minor, `pp` - patch). The number version can be used to check if version is greater or less
another version. The string version can be used to return to the user or print as logs.
This new API is provided to eval scripts and functions, it also possible to use this API during functions loading phase.
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.
# Redis Function Libraries
This PR implements Redis Functions Libraries as describe on: https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9906.
Libraries purpose is to provide a better code sharing between functions by allowing to create multiple
functions in a single command. Functions that were created together can safely share code between
each other without worrying about compatibility issues and versioning.
Creating a new library is done using 'FUNCTION LOAD' command (full API is described below)
This PR introduces a new struct called libraryInfo, libraryInfo holds information about a library:
* name - name of the library
* engine - engine used to create the library
* code - library code
* description - library description
* functions - the functions exposed by the library
When Redis gets the `FUNCTION LOAD` command it creates a new empty libraryInfo.
Redis passes the `CODE` to the relevant engine alongside the empty libraryInfo.
As a result, the engine will create one or more functions by calling 'libraryCreateFunction'.
The new funcion will be added to the newly created libraryInfo. So far Everything is happening
locally on the libraryInfo so it is easy to abort the operation (in case of an error) by simply
freeing the libraryInfo. After the library info is fully constructed we start the joining phase by
which we will join the new library to the other libraries currently exist on Redis.
The joining phase make sure there is no function collision and add the library to the
librariesCtx (renamed from functionCtx). LibrariesCtx is used all around the code in the exact
same way as functionCtx was used (with respect to RDB loading, replicatio, ...).
The only difference is that apart from function dictionary (maps function name to functionInfo
object), the librariesCtx contains also a libraries dictionary that maps library name to libraryInfo object.
## New API
### FUNCTION LOAD
`FUNCTION LOAD <ENGINE> <LIBRARY NAME> [REPLACE] [DESCRIPTION <DESCRIPTION>] <CODE>`
Create a new library with the given parameters:
* ENGINE - REPLACE Engine name to use to create the library.
* LIBRARY NAME - The new library name.
* REPLACE - If the library already exists, replace it.
* DESCRIPTION - Library description.
* CODE - Library code.
Return "OK" on success, or error on the following cases:
* Library name already taken and REPLACE was not used
* Name collision with another existing library (even if replace was uses)
* Library registration failed by the engine (usually compilation error)
## Changed API
### FUNCTION LIST
`FUNCTION LIST [LIBRARYNAME <LIBRARY NAME PATTERN>] [WITHCODE]`
Command was modified to also allow getting libraries code (so `FUNCTION INFO` command is no longer
needed and removed). In addition the command gets an option argument, `LIBRARYNAME` allows you to
only get libraries that match the given `LIBRARYNAME` pattern. By default, it returns all libraries.
### INFO MEMORY
Added number of libraries to `INFO MEMORY`
### Commands flags
`DENYOOM` flag was set on `FUNCTION LOAD` and `FUNCTION RESTORE`. We consider those commands
as commands that add new data to the dateset (functions are data) and so we want to disallows
to run those commands on OOM.
## Removed API
* FUNCTION CREATE - Decided on https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9906
* FUNCTION INFO - Decided on https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9899
## Lua engine changes
When the Lua engine gets the code given on `FUNCTION LOAD` command, it immediately runs it, we call
this run the loading run. Loading run is not a usual script run, it is not possible to invoke any
Redis command from within the load run.
Instead there is a new API provided by `library` object. The new API's:
* `redis.log` - behave the same as `redis.log`
* `redis.register_function` - register a new function to the library
The loading run purpose is to register functions using the new `redis.register_function` API.
Any attempt to use any other API will result in an error. In addition, the load run is has a time
limit of 500ms, error is raise on timeout and the entire operation is aborted.
### `redis.register_function`
`redis.register_function(<function_name>, <callback>, [<description>])`
This new API allows users to register a new function that will be linked to the newly created library.
This API can only be called during the load run (see definition above). Any attempt to use it outside
of the load run will result in an error.
The parameters pass to the API are:
* function_name - Function name (must be a Lua string)
* callback - Lua function object that will be called when the function is invokes using fcall/fcall_ro
* description - Function description, optional (must be a Lua string).
### Example
The following example creates a library called `lib` with 2 functions, `f1` and `f1`, returns 1 and 2 respectively:
```
local function f1(keys, args)
return 1
end
local function f2(keys, args)
return 2
end
redis.register_function('f1', f1)
redis.register_function('f2', f2)
```
Notice: Unlike `eval`, functions inside a library get the KEYS and ARGV as arguments to the
functions and not as global.
### Technical Details
On the load run we only want the user to be able to call a white list on API's. This way, in
the future, if new API's will be added, the new API's will not be available to the load run
unless specifically added to this white list. We put the while list on the `library` object and
make sure the `library` object is only available to the load run by using [lua_setfenv](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_setfenv) API. This API allows us to set
the `globals` of a function (and all the function it creates). Before starting the load run we
create a new fresh Lua table (call it `g`) that only contains the `library` API (we make sure
to set global protection on this table just like the general global protection already exists
today), then we use [lua_setfenv](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_setfenv)
to set `g` as the global table of the load run. After the load run finished we update `g`
metatable and set `__index` and `__newindex` functions to be `_G` (Lua default globals),
we also pop out the `library` object as we do not need it anymore.
This way, any function that was created on the load run (and will be invoke using `fcall`) will
see the default globals as it expected to see them and will not have the `library` API anymore.
An important outcome of this new approach is that now we can achieve a distinct global table
for each library (it is not yet like that but it is very easy to achieve it now). In the future we can
decide to remove global protection because global on different libraries will not collide or we
can chose to give different API to different libraries base on some configuration or input.
Notice that this technique was meant to prevent errors and was not meant to prevent malicious
user from exploit it. For example, the load run can still save the `library` object on some local
variable and then using in `fcall` context. To prevent such a malicious use, the C code also make
sure it is running in the right context and if not raise an error.
# 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, ... } }`

Creating fork (or even a foreground SAVE) during a transaction breaks the atomicity of the transaction.
In addition to that, it could mess up the propagated transaction to the AOF file.
This change blocks SAVE, PSYNC, SYNC and SHUTDOWN from being executed inside MULTI-EXEC.
It does that by adding a command flag, so that modules can flag their commands with that flag too.
Besides it changes BGSAVE, BGREWRITEAOF, and CONFIG SET appendonly, to turn the
scheduled flag instead of forking righ taway.
Other changes:
* expose `protected`, `no-async-loading`, and `no_multi` flags in COMMAND command
* add a test to validate propagation of FLUSHALL inside a transaction.
* add a test to validate how CONFIG SET that errors reacts in a transaction

To avoid data loss, this commit adds a grace period for lagging replicas to
catch up the replication offset.
Done:
* Wait for replicas when shutdown is triggered by SIGTERM and SIGINT.
* Wait for replicas when shutdown is triggered by the SHUTDOWN command. A new
blocked client type BLOCKED_SHUTDOWN is introduced, allowing multiple clients
to call SHUTDOWN in parallel.
Note that they don't expect a response unless an error happens and shutdown is aborted.
* Log warning for each replica lagging behind when finishing shutdown.
* CLIENT_PAUSE_WRITE while waiting for replicas.
* Configurable grace period 'shutdown-timeout' in seconds (default 10).
* New flags for the SHUTDOWN command:
- NOW disables the grace period for lagging replicas.
- FORCE ignores errors writing the RDB or AOF files which would normally
prevent a shutdown.
- ABORT cancels ongoing shutdown. Can't be combined with other flags.
* New field in the output of the INFO command: 'shutdown_in_milliseconds'. The
value is the remaining maximum time to wait for lagging replicas before
finishing the shutdown. This field is present in the Server section **only**
during shutdown.
Not directly related:
* When shutting down, if there is an AOF saving child, it is killed **even** if AOF
is disabled. This can happen if BGREWRITEAOF is used when AOF is off.
* Client pause now has end time and type (WRITE or ALL) per purpose. The
different pause purposes are *CLIENT PAUSE command*, *failover* and
*shutdown*. If clients are unpaused for one purpose, it doesn't affect client
pause for other purposes. For example, the CLIENT UNPAUSE command doesn't
affect client pause initiated by the failover or shutdown procedures. A completed
failover or a failed shutdown doesn't unpause clients paused by the CLIENT
PAUSE command.
Notes:
* DEBUG RESTART doesn't wait for replicas.
* We already have a warning logged when a replica disconnects. This means that
if any replica connection is lost during the shutdown, it is either logged as
disconnected or as lagging at the time of exit.

Add missing information about commands, mainly from reviewing redis-doc and removing
the metadata from it (https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/pull/1722)
* Reintroduces CLUSTER S****S (supported by Redis) but missing from the JSON / docs (related? #9675).
Note that without that json file, the command won't work (breaking change)
* Adds the `replicas` argument (exists in Redis) to `CLIENT KILL`.
* Adds `history` entries to several commands based on redis-doc's man pages.
* Adds `since` to applicable command arguments based on `history` (this basically makes
some of `history` redundant - perhaps at a later stage).
* Uses proper semantic versioning in all version references.
* Also removes `geoencodeCommand` and `geodecodeCommand` header
declarations per b96af595a5.
Follow the conclusions to support Functions in redis cluster (#9899)
Added 2 new FUNCTION sub-commands:
1. `FUNCTION DUMP` - dump a binary payload representation of all the functions.
2. `FUNCTION RESTORE <PAYLOAD> [FLUSH|APPEND|REPLACE]` - give the binary payload extracted
using `FUNCTION DUMP`, restore all the functions on the given payload. Restore policy can be given to
control how to handle existing functions (default is APPEND):
* FLUSH: delete all existing functions.
* APPEND: appends the restored functions to the existing functions. On collision, abort.
* REPLACE: appends the restored functions to the existing functions. On collision,
replace the old function with the new function.
Modify `redis-cli --cluster add-node` to use `FUNCTION DUMP` to get existing functions from
one of the nodes in the cluster, and `FUNCTION RESTORE` to load the same set of functions
to the new node. `redis-cli` will execute this step before sending the `CLUSTER MEET` command
to the new node. If `FUNCTION DUMP` returns an error, assume the current Redis version do not
support functions and skip `FUNCTION RESTORE`. If `FUNCTION RESTORE` fails, abort and do not send
the `CLUSTER MEET` command. If the new node already contains functions (before the `FUNCTION RESTORE`
is sent), abort and do not add the node to the cluster. Test was added to verify
`redis-cli --cluster add-node` works as expected.
## background
Till now CONFIG SET was blocked during loading.
(In the not so distant past, GET was disallowed too)
We recently (not released yet) added an async-loading mode, see #9323,
and during that time it'll serve CONFIG SET and any other command.
And now we realized (#9770) that some configs, and commands are dangerous
during async-loading.
## changes
* Allow most CONFIG SET during loading (both on async-loading and normal loading)
* Allow CONFIG REWRITE and CONFIG RESETSTAT during loading
* Block a few config during loading (`appendonly`, `repl-diskless-load`, and `dir`)
* Block a few commands during loading (list below)
## the blocked commands:
* SAVE - obviously we don't wanna start a foregreound save during loading 8-)
* BGSAVE - we don't mind to schedule one, but we don't wanna fork now
* BGREWRITEAOF - we don't mind to schedule one, but we don't wanna fork now
* MODULE - we obviously don't wanna unload a module during replication / rdb loading
(MODULE HELP and MODULE LIST are not blocked)
* SYNC / PSYNC - we're in the middle of RDB loading from master, must not allow sync
requests now.
* REPLICAOF / SLAVEOF - we're in the middle of replicating, maybe it makes sense to let
the user abort it, but he couldn't do that so far, i don't wanna take any risk of bugs due to odd state.
* CLUSTER - only allow [HELP, SLOTS, NODES, INFO, MYID, LINKS, KEYSLOT, COUNTKEYSINSLOT,
GETKEYSINSLOT, RESET, REPLICAS, COUNT_FAILURE_REPORTS], for others, preserve the status quo
## other fixes
* processEventsWhileBlocked had an issue when being nested, this could happen with a busy script
during async loading (new), but also in a busy script during AOF loading (old). this lead to a crash in
the scenario described in #6988
The issue with MAY_REPLICATE is that all automatic mechanisms to handle
write commands will not work. This require have a special treatment for:
* Not allow those commands to be executed on RO replica.
* Allow those commands to be executed on RO replica from primary connection.
* Allow those commands to be executed on the RO replica from AOF.
By setting those commands as WRITE commands we are getting all those properties from Redis.
Test was added to verify that those properties work as expected.
In addition, rearrange when and where functions are flushed. Before this PR functions were
flushed manually on `rdbLoadRio` and cleaned manually on failure. This contradicts the
assumptions that functions are data and need to be created/deleted alongside with the
data. A side effect of this, for example, `debug reload noflush` did not flush the data but
did flush the functions, `debug loadaof` flush the data but not the functions.
This PR move functions deletion into `emptyDb`. `emptyDb` (renamed to `emptyData`) will
now accept an additional flag, `NOFUNCTIONS` which specifically indicate that we do not
want to flush the functions (on all other cases, functions will be flushed). Used the new flag
on FLUSHALL and FLUSHDB only! Tests were added to `debug reload` and `debug loadaof`
to verify that functions behave the same as the data.
Notice that because now functions will be deleted along side with the data we can not allow
`CLUSTER RESET` to be called from within a function (it will cause the function to be released
while running), this PR adds `NO_SCRIPT` flag to `CLUSTER RESET` so it will not be possible
to be called from within a function. The other cluster commands are allowed from within a
function (there are use-cases that uses `GETKEYSINSLOT` to iterate over all the keys on a
given slot). Tests was added to verify `CLUSTER RESET` is denied from within a script.
Another small change on this PR is that `RDBFLAGS_ALLOW_DUP` is also applicable on functions.
When loading functions, if this flag is set, we will replace old functions with new ones on collisions.
# Background
The main goal of this PR is to remove relevant logics on Lua script verbatim replication,
only keeping effects replication logic, which has been set as default since Redis 5.0.
As a result, Lua in Redis 7.0 would be acting the same as Redis 6.0 with default
configuration from users' point of view.
There are lots of reasons to remove verbatim replication.
Antirez has listed some of the benefits in Issue #5292:
>1. No longer need to explain to users side effects into scripts.
They can do whatever they want.
>2. No need for a cache about scripts that we sent or not to the slaves.
>3. No need to sort the output of certain commands inside scripts
(SMEMBERS and others): this both simplifies and gains speed.
>4. No need to store scripts inside the RDB file in order to startup correctly.
>5. No problems about evicting keys during the script execution.
When looking back at Redis 5.0, antirez and core team decided to set the config
`lua-replicate-commands yes` by default instead of removing verbatim replication
directly, in case some bad situations happened. 3 years later now before Redis 7.0,
it's time to remove it formally.
# Changes
- configuration for lua-replicate-commands removed
- created config file stub for backward compatibility
- Replication script cache removed
- this is useless under script effects replication
- relevant statistics also removed
- script persistence in RDB files is also removed
- Propagation of SCRIPT LOAD and SCRIPT FLUSH to replica / AOF removed
- Deterministic execution logic in scripts removed (i.e. don't run write commands
after random ones, and sorting output of commands with random order)
- the flags indicating which commands have non-deterministic results are kept as hints to clients.
- `redis.replicate_commands()` & `redis.set_repl()` changed
- now `redis.replicate_commands()` does nothing and return an 1
- ...and then `redis.set_repl()` can be issued before `redis.replicate_commands()` now
- Relevant TCL cases adjusted
- DEBUG lua-always-replicate-commands removed
# Other changes
- Fix a recent bug comparing CLIENT_ID_AOF to original_client->flags instead of id. (introduced in #9780)

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.
Introduce memory management on cluster link buffers:
* Introduce a new `cluster-link-sendbuf-limit` config that caps memory usage of cluster bus link send buffers.
* Introduce a new `CLUSTER LINKS` command that displays current TCP links to/from peers.
* Introduce a new `mem_cluster_links` field under `INFO` command output, which displays the overall memory usage by all current cluster links.
* Introduce a new `total_cluster_links_buffer_limit_exceeded` field under `CLUSTER INFO` command output, which displays the accumulated count of cluster links freed due to `cluster-link-sendbuf-limit`.
Added `FUNCTION FLUSH` command. The new sub-command allows delete all the functions.
An optional `[SYNC|ASYNC]` argument can be given to control whether or not to flush the
functions synchronously or asynchronously. if not given the default flush mode is chosen by
`lazyfree-lazy-user-flush` configuration values.
Add the missing `functions.tcl` test to the list of tests that are executed in test_helper.tcl,
and call FUNCTION FLUSH in between servers in external mode
Support doing `CONFIG GET <x> <y> <z>`, each of them can also be
a pattern with wildcards.
This avoids duplicates in the result by looping over the configs and for
each once checking all the patterns, once a match is found for a pattern
we move on to the next config.
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)
