The code freed a reply object that was never created, resulting in a
segfault every time randomkey returned a key that was deleted before we
queried it for size.
When in --pipe mode, after all the data transfer to the server is
complete, now redis-cli waits at max the specified amount of
seconds (30 by default, use 0 to wait forever) without receiving any
reply at all from the server. After this time limit the operation is
aborted with an error.
That's related to issue #681.
If the protocol read from stdin happened to contain grabage (invalid
random chars), in the previous implementation it was possible to end
with something like:
dksfjdksjflskfjl*2\r\n$4\r\nECHO....
That is invalid as the *2 should start into a new line. Now we prefix
the ECHO with a CRLF that has no effects on the server but prevents this
issues most of the times.
Of course if the offending wrong sequence is something like:
$3248772349\r\n
No one is going to save us as Redis will wait for data in the context of
a big argument, so this fix does not cover all the cases.
This partially fixes issue #681.
Previously redis-cli never tried to raise an error when an unrecognized
switch was encountered, as everything after the initial options is to be
transmitted to the server.
However this is too liberal, as there are no commands starting with "-".
So the new behavior is to produce an error if there is an unrecognized
switch starting with "-". This should not break past redis-cli usages
but should prevent broken options to be silently discarded.
As far the first token not starting with "-" is encountered, all the
rest is considered to be part of the command, so you cna still use
strings starting with "-" as values, like in:
redis-cli --port 6380 set foo --my-value
Redis-tools is a connection of tools no longer mantained that was
intented as a way to economically make sense of Redis in the pre-vmware
sponsorship era. However there was a nice redis-stat utility, this
commit imports one of the functionalities of this tool here in redis-cli
as it seems to be pretty useful.
Usage: redis-cli --stat
The output is similar to vmstat in the format, but with Redis specific
stuff of course.
From the point of view of the monitored instance, only INFO is used in
order to grab data.
This should improve things in two ways:
1) Prevent timeouts caused by the execution of long commands.
2) Improve detection of real connection errors.
This is mostly effective only on Linux because of the bogus default
keepalive settings. In Linux we have OS-specific calls to set the
keepalive interval to reasonable values.
Redis pings slaves in "pre-synchronization stage" with newlines. (See
https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/2.6.9/src/replication.c#L814)
However, redis-cli does not expect this - it sees the newline as the end
of the bulk length line, and ends up returning 0 as bulk the length.
This manifests as the following when running redis-cli:
$ ./src/redis-cli --rdb some_file
SYNC sent to master, writing 0 bytes to 'some_file'
Transfer finished with success.
With this commit, we just ignore leading newlines while reading the bulk
length line.
To reproduce the problem, load enough data into Redis so that the
preparation of the RDB snapshot takes long enough for a ping to occur
while redis-cli is waiting for the data.
Right there is a mix of help entries ending with periods or
without periods. This standardizes the end of command as without
periods, which seems to be the general custom in most unix tools,
at least.
redis-cli.c uses the time() function to seed the PRNG, but time.h was
not included. This was not noticed since sys/time.h is included and was
enough in most systems (but not correct). With Ubuntu 12.04 GCC
generates a warning that made us aware of the issue.
updated via commands.json in redis-doc repo. Currently
use `make src/help.h` to re-generate. The following
are valid from the REPL:
help
help [command]
help [group]
help groups
ex:
help sort
help hash
