Because of the short circuit behavior of && inverting the two sides of
the if expression avoids an hash table lookup if the non-EX variant of
SET is called.
Thanks to Weibin Yao (@yaoweibin on github) for spotting this.
(Commit message from @antirez as it was missign in the original commits,
also the patch was modified a bit to still work with 2.4 dumps and to
avoid if expressions that are always true due to checked types range)
This commit changes redis-check-dump to account for new encodings and
for the new MSTIME expire format. It also refactors the test for valid
type into a function.
The code is still compatible with Redis 2.4 generated dumps.
This fixes issue #709.
In some system, notably osx, the 3.5 GB limit was too far and not able
to prevent a crash for out of memory. The 3 GB limit works better and it
is still a lot of memory within a 4 GB theorical limit so it's not going
to bore anyone :-)
This fixes issue #711
When calling SCRIPT KILL currently you can get two errors:
* No script in timeout (busy) state.
* The script already performed a write.
It is useful to be able to distinguish the two errors, but right now both
start with "ERR" prefix, so string matching (that is fragile) must be used.
This commit introduces two different prefixes.
-NOTBUSY and -UNKILLABLE respectively to reply with an error when no
script is busy at the moment, and when the script already executed a
write operation and can not be killed.
Before of this commit it used to be like this:
MULTI
EXEC
... actual commands of the transaction ...
Because after all that is the natural order of things. Transaction
commands are queued and executed *only after* EXEC is called.
However this makes debugging with MONITOR a mess, so the code was
modified to provide a coherent output.
What happens is that MULTI is rendered in the MONITOR output as far as
possible, instead EXEC is propagated only after the transaction is
executed, or even in the case it fails because of WATCH, so in this case
you'll simply see:
MULTI
EXEC
An empty transaction.
If the server is password protected we need to accept AUTH when there is
a server busy (-BUSY) condition, otherwise it will be impossible to send
SHUTDOWN NOSAVE or SCRIPT KILL.
This fixes issue #708.
The code of current implementation:
if (c->pending == 0) clientDone(c);
In clientDone function, the c's memory has been freed, then the loop will continue: while(c->pending). The memory of c has been freed now, so c->pending is invalid (c is an invalid pointer now), and this will cause memory dump in some platforams(eg: Solaris).
So I think the code should be modified as:
if (c->pending == 0)
{
clientDone(c);
break;
}
and this will not lead to while(c->pending).
The previously used hash function, djbhash, is not secure against
collision attacks even when the seed is randomized as there are simple
ways to find seed-independent collisions.
The new hash function appears to be safe (or much harder to exploit at
least) in this case, and has better distribution.
Better distribution does not always means that's better. For instance in
a fast benchmark with "DEBUG POPULATE 1000000" I obtained the following
results:
1.6 seconds with djbhash
2.0 seconds with murmurhash2
This is due to the fact that djbhash will hash objects that follow the
pattern `prefix:<id>` and where the id is numerically near, to near
buckets. This improves the locality.
However in other access patterns with keys that have no relation
murmurhash2 has some (apparently minimal) speed advantage.
On the other hand a better distribution should significantly
improve the quality of the distribution of elements returned with
dictGetRandomKey() that is used in SPOP, SRANDMEMBER, RANDOMKEY, and
other commands.
Everything considered, and under the suspect that this commit fixes a
security issue in Redis, we are switching to the new hash function.
If some serious speed regression will be found in the future we'll be able
to step back easiliy.
This commit fixes issue #663.
This commit warns the user with a log at "warning" level if:
1) After the server startup the maxmemory limit was found to be < 1MB.
2) After a CONFIG SET command modifying the maxmemory setting the limit
is set to a value that is smaller than the currently used memory.
The behaviour of the Redis server is unmodified, and this wil not make
the CONFIG SET command or a wrong configuration in redis.conf less
likely to create problems, but at least this will make aware most users
about a possbile error they committed without resorting to external
help.
However no warning is issued if, as a result of loading the AOF or RDB
file, we are very near the maxmemory setting, or key eviction will be
needed in order to go under the specified maxmemory setting. The reason
is that in servers configured as a cache with an aggressive
maxmemory-policy most of the times restarting the server will cause this
condition to happen if persistence is not switched off.
This fixes issue #429.
When system time changes back, the timer will not worker properly
hence some core functionality of redis will stop working(e.g. replication,
bgsave, etc). See issue #633 for details.
The patch saves the previous time and when a system clock skew is detected,
it will force expire all timers.
Modiifed by @antirez: the previous time was moved into the eventLoop
structure to make sure the library is still thread safe as long as you
use different event loops into different threads (otherwise you need
some synchronization). More comments added about the reasoning at the
base of the patch, that's worth reporting here:
/* If the system clock is moved to the future, and then set back to the
* right value, time events may be delayed in a random way. Often this
* means that scheduled operations will not be performed soon enough.
*
* Here we try to detect system clock skews, and force all the time
* events to be processed ASAP when this happens: the idea is that
* processing events earlier is less dangerous than delaying them
* indefinitely, and practice suggests it is. */
The new message now contains an hint about modifying the repl-timeout
configuration directive if the problem persists.
This should normally not be needed, because while the master generates
the RDB file it makes sure to send newlines to the replication channel
to prevent timeouts. However there are times when masters running on
very slow systems can completely stop for seconds during the RDB saving
process. In such a case enlarging the timeout value can fix the problem.
See issue #695 for an example of this problem in an EC2 deployment.
When SORT is called with the option BY set to a string constant not
inclduing the wildcard character "*", there is no way to sort the output
so any ordering is valid. This allows the SORT internals to optimize its
work and don't really sort the output at all.
However it was odd that this option was not able to retain the natural
order of a sorted set. This feature was requested by users multiple
times as sometimes to call SORT with GET against sorted sets as a way to
mass-fetch objects can be handy.
This commit introduces two things:
1) The ability of SORT to return sorted sets elements in their natural
ordering when `BY nosort` is specified, accordingly to `DESC / ASC` options.
2) The ability of SORT to optimize this case further if LIMIT is passed
as well, avoiding to really fetch the whole sorted set, but directly
obtaining the specified range.
Because in this case the sorting is always deterministic, no
post-sorting activity is performed when SORT is called from a Lua
script.
This commit fixes issue #98.
A previous commit introduced Redis.NIL. This commit adds similar helper
functions to return tables with a single field set to the specified
string so that instead of using 'return {err="My Error"}' it is possible
to use a more idiomatic form:
return redis.error_reply("My Error")
return redis.status_reply("OK")
Lua arrays can't contain nil elements (see
http://www.lua.org/pil/19.1.html for more information), so Lua scripts
were not able to return a multi-bulk reply containing nil bulk
elements inside.
This commit introduces a special conversion: a table with just
a "nilbulk" field set to a boolean value is converted by Redis as a nil
bulk reply, but at the same time for Lua this type is not a "nil" so can
be used inside Lua arrays.
This type is also assigned to redis.NIL, so the following two forms
are equivalent and will be able to return a nil bulk reply as second
element of a three elements array:
EVAL "return {1,redis.NIL,3}" 0
EVAL "return {1,{nilbulk=true},3}" 0
The result in redis-cli will be:
1) (integer) 1
2) (nil)
3) (integer) 3
SRANDMEMBER called with just the key argument can just return a single
random element from a Redis Set. However many users need to return
multiple unique elements from a Set, this is not a trivial problem to
handle in the client side, and for truly good performance a C
implementation was required.
After many requests for this feature it was finally implemented.
The problem implementing this command is the strategy to follow when
the number of elements the user asks for is near to the number of
elements that are already inside the set. In this case asking random
elements to the dictionary API, and trying to add it to a temporary set,
may result into an extremely poor performance, as most add operations
will be wasted on duplicated elements.
For this reason this implementation uses a different strategy in this
case: the Set is copied, and random elements are returned to reach the
specified count.
The code actually uses 4 different algorithms optimized for the
different cases.
If the count is negative, the command changes behavior and allows for
duplicated elements in the returned subset.
Redis provides support for blocking operations such as BLPOP or BRPOP.
This operations are identical to normal LPOP and RPOP operations as long
as there are elements in the target list, but if the list is empty they
block waiting for new data to arrive to the list.
All the clients blocked waiting for th same list are served in a FIFO
way, so the first that blocked is the first to be served when there is
more data pushed by another client into the list.
The previous implementation of blocking operations was conceived to
serve clients in the context of push operations. For for instance:
1) There is a client "A" blocked on list "foo".
2) The client "B" performs `LPUSH foo somevalue`.
3) The client "A" is served in the context of the "B" LPUSH,
synchronously.
Processing things in a synchronous way was useful as if "A" pushes a
value that is served by "B", from the point of view of the database is a
NOP (no operation) thing, that is, nothing is replicated, nothing is
written in the AOF file, and so forth.
However later we implemented two things:
1) Variadic LPUSH that could add multiple values to a list in the
context of a single call.
2) BRPOPLPUSH that was a version of BRPOP that also provided a "PUSH"
side effect when receiving data.
This forced us to make the synchronous implementation more complex. If
client "B" is waiting for data, and "A" pushes three elemnents in a
single call, we needed to propagate an LPUSH with a missing argument
in the AOF and replication link. We also needed to make sure to
replicate the LPUSH side of BRPOPLPUSH, but only if in turn did not
happened to serve another blocking client into another list ;)
This were complex but with a few of mutually recursive functions
everything worked as expected... until one day we introduced scripting
in Redis.
Scripting + synchronous blocking operations = Issue #614.
Basically you can't "rewrite" a script to have just a partial effect on
the replicas and AOF file if the script happened to serve a few blocked
clients.
The solution to all this problems, implemented by this commit, is to
change the way we serve blocked clients. Instead of serving the blocked
clients synchronously, in the context of the command performing the PUSH
operation, it is now an asynchronous and iterative process:
1) If a key that has clients blocked waiting for data is the subject of
a list push operation, We simply mark keys as "ready" and put it into a
queue.
2) Every command pushing stuff on lists, as a variadic LPUSH, a script,
or whatever it is, is replicated verbatim without any rewriting.
3) Every time a Redis command, a MULTI/EXEC block, or a script,
completed its execution, we run the list of keys ready to serve blocked
clients (as more data arrived), and process this list serving the
blocked clients.
4) As a result of "3" maybe more keys are ready again for other clients
(as a result of BRPOPLPUSH we may have push operations), so we iterate
back to step "3" if it's needed.
The new code has a much simpler semantics, and a simpler to understand
implementation, with the disadvantage of not being able to "optmize out"
a PUSH+BPOP as a No OP.
This commit will be tested with care before the final merge, more tests
will be added likely.
Unfortunately we had still the lame atoi() without any error checking in
place, so "SELECT foo" would work as "SELECT 0". This was not an huge
problem per se but some people expected that DB can be strings and not
just numbers, and without errors you get the feeling that they can be
numbers, but not the behavior.
Now getLongFromObjectOrReply() is used as almost everybody else across
the code, generating an error if the number is not an integer or
overflows the long type.
Thanks to @mipearson for reporting that on Twitter.
Bug #582 was not present in 32 bit builds of Redis as
getObjectFromLong() will return an error for overflow.
This commit makes sure that the test does not fail because of the error
returned when running against 32 bit builds.
remove unsafe and unnecessary cast.
until now, this cast may lead segmentation fault when end > UINT_MAX
setbit foo 0 1
bitcount 0 4294967295
=> ok
bitcount 0 4294967296
=> cause segmentation fault.
Note by @antirez: the commit was modified a bit to also change the
string length type to long, since it's guaranteed to be at max 512 MB in
size, so we can work with the same type across all the code path.
A regression test was also added.
SORT is able to return (faster than when ordering) unordered output if
the "BY" clause is used with a constant value. However we try to play
well with scripting requirements of determinism providing always sorted
outputs when SORT (and other similar commands) are called by Lua
scripts.
However we used the general mechanism in place in scripting in order to
reorder SORT output, that is, if the command has the "S" flag set, the
Lua scripting engine will take an additional step when converting a
multi bulk reply to Lua value, calling a Lua sorting function.
This is suboptimal as we can do it faster inside SORT itself.
This is also broken as issue #545 shows us: basically when SORT is used
with a constant BY, and additionally also GET is used, the Lua scripting
engine was trying to order the output as a flat array, while it was
actually a list of key-value pairs.
What we do know is to recognized if the caller of SORT is the Lua client
(since we can check this using the REDIS_LUA_CLIENT flag). If so, and if
a "don't sort" condition is triggered by the BY option with a constant
string, we force the lexicographical sorting.
This commit fixes this bug and improves the performance, and at the same
time simplifies the implementation. This does not mean I'm smart today,
it means I was stupid when I committed the original implementation ;)
If we don't have any clue about a master since it never replied to INFO
so far, reply with an -IDONTKNOW error to SENTINEL
get-master-addr-by-name requests.
Before this commit Sentienl used to redirect master ip/addr if the
current instance reported to be a slave only if this was the first INFO
output received, and the role was found to be slave.
Now instead also if we find that the runid is different, and the
reported role is slave, we also redirect to the reported master ip/addr.
This unifies the behavior of Sentinel in the case of a reboot (where it
will see the first INFO output with the wrong role and will perform the
redirection), with the behavior of Sentinel in the case of a change in
what it sees in the INFO output of the master.
During the first synchronization step of the replication process, a Redis
slave connects with the master in a non blocking way. However once the
connection is established the replication continues sending the REPLCONF
command, and sometimes the AUTH command if needed. Those commands are
send in a partially blocking way (blocking with timeout in the order of
seconds).
Because it is common for a blocked master to accept connections even if
it is actually not able to reply to the slave requests, it was easy for
a slave to block if the master had serious issues, but was still able to
accept connections in the listening socket.
For this reason we now send an asynchronous PING request just after the
non blocking connection ended in a successful way, and wait for the
reply before to continue with the replication process. It is very
unlikely that a master replying to PING can't reply to the other
commands.
This solution was proposed by Didier Spezia (Thanks!) so that we don't
need to turn all the replication process into a non blocking affair, but
still the probability of a slave blocked is minimal even in the event of
a failing master.
Also we now use getsockopt(SO_ERROR) in order to check errors ASAP
in the event handler, instead of waiting for actual I/O to return an
error.
This commit fixes issue #632.
Lua scripting uses a fake client in order to run commands in the context
of a client, accumulate the reply, and convert it into a Lua object
to return to the caller. This client is reused again and again, and is
referenced by the server.lua_client globally accessible pointer.
However after every call to redis.call() or redis.pcall(), that is
handled by the luaRedisGenericCommand() function, the reply_bytes field
of the client was not set back to zero. This filed is used to estimate
the amount of memory currently used in the reply. Because of the lack of
reset, script after script executed, this value used to get bigger and
bigger, and in the end on 32 bit systems it triggered the following
assert:
redisAssert(c->reply_bytes < ULONG_MAX-(1024*64));
On 64 bit systems this does not happen because it takes too much time to
reach values near to 2^64 for users to see the practical effect of the
bug.
Now in the cleanup stage of luaRedisGenericCommand() we reset the
reply_bytes counter to zero, avoiding the issue. It is not practical to
add a test for this bug, but the fix was manually tested using a
debugger.
This commit fixes issue #656.
Redis used to crash with a call like the following:
EVAL "redis.call()" 0
Now the explicit check for at least one argument prevents the problem.
This commit fixes issue #655.
