Before a relatively slow popcount() operation was needed every time we
needed to get the number of slots served by a given cluster node.
Now we just need to check an integer that is taken in sync with the
bitmap.
This is not very important as anyway when the function counting the
number of reports is called the cleanup is performed. However with this
change if only part of the nodes that reported the failure will report
the node is back ok, we'll cleanup the older entries ASAP. In complex
split net split scenarios, and when we are dealing with clusters having
nodes in the order of ~ 1000, this can save some CPU.
Not sure why I set a limit to 1 million keys, there is no reason for
this artificial limit, and anyway this is s a stupid limit because it is
already high enough to create latency issues. So let's the users shoot
on their feet because maybe they just actually know what they are doing.
A §Redis Cluster node used to mark a node as failing when itself
detected a failure for that node, and a single acknowledge was received
about the possible failure state.
The new API will be used in order to possible to require that N other
nodes have a PFAIL or FAIL state for a given node for a node to set it
as failing.
Now that we cache connections, a retry attempt makes sure that the
operation don't fail just because there is an existing connection error
on the socket, like the other end closing the connection.
Unfortunately this condition is not detectable using
getsockopt(SO_ERROR), so the only option left is to retry.
We don't retry on timeouts.
By caching TCP connections used by MIGRATE to chat with other Redis
instances a 5x performance improvement was measured with
redis-benchmark against small keys.
This can dramatically speedup cluster resharding and other processes
where an high load of MIGRATE commands are used.
With COPY now MIGRATE does not remove the key from the source instance.
With REPLACE it uses RESTORE REPLACE on the target host so that even if
the key already eixsts in the target instance it will be overwritten.
The options can be used together.
