- protocol parsing (processMultibulkBuffer) was limitted to 32big positions in the buffer
readQueryFromClient potential overflow
- rioWriteBulkCount used int, although rioWriteBulkString gave it size_t
- several places in sds.c that used int for string length or index.
- bugfix in RM_SaveAuxField (return was 1 or -1 and not length)
- RM_SaveStringBuffer was limitted to 32bit length
The function in its initial form, and after the fixes for the PSYNC2
bugs, required code duplication in multiple spots. This commit modifies
it in order to always compute the script name independently, and to
return the SDS of the SHA of the body: this way it can be used in all
the places, including for SCRIPT LOAD, without duplicating the code to
create the Lua function name. Note that this requires to re-compute the
body SHA1 in the case of EVAL seeing a script for the first time, but
this should not change scripting performance in any way because new
scripts definition is a rare event happening the first time a script is
seen, and the SHA1 computation is anyway not a very slow process against
the typical Redis script and compared to the actua Lua byte compiling of
the body.
Note that the function used to assert() if a duplicated script was
loaded, however actually now two times over three, we want the function
to handle duplicated scripts just fine: this happens in SCRIPT LOAD and
in RDB AUX "lua" loading. Moreover the assert was not defending against
some obvious failure mode, so now the function always tests against
already defined functions at start.
In the case of slaves loading the RDB from master, or in other similar
cases, the script is already defined, and the function registering the
script should not fail in the assert() call.
We used to have the master ID stored at the start of the listpack,
however using the key directly makes more sense in order to create a
space efficient representation: anyway the key at the radix tree is very
unlikely to change because of how the stream is implemented. Moreover on
nodes merging, to rewrite the merged listpacks is anyway the most
sensible operation, and we can use the iterator and the append-to-stream
function in order to avoid re-implementing the code needed for merging.
This commit also adds two items at the start of the listpack: the
number of valid items inside the listpack, and the number of items
marked as deleted. This means that there is no need to scan a listpack
in order to understand if it's a good candidate for garbage collection,
if the ration between valid/deleted items triggers the GC.
After a few attempts it looked quite saner to just add the last item ID
at the end of the serialized listpacks, instead of scanning the last
listpack loaded from head to tail just to fetch it. It's a disk space VS
CPU-and-simplicity tradeoff basically.
Related to #4483. As suggested by @soloestoy, we can retrieve the SHA1
from the body. Given that in the new implementation using AUX fields we
ended copying around a lot to create new objects and strings, extremize
such concept and trade CPU for space inside the RDB file.
This is currently needed in order to fix#4483, but this can be
useful in other contexts, so maybe later we may want to remove the
conditionals and always save/load scripts.
Note that we are using the "lua" AUX field here, in order to guarantee
backward compatibility of the RDB file. The unknown AUX fields must be
discarded by past versions of Redis.
Normally in modern Redis you can't create zero-len lists, however it's
possible to load them from old RDB files generated, for instance, using
Redis 2.8 (see issue #4409). The "Right Thing" would be not loading such
lists at all, but this requires to hook in rdb.c random places in a not
great way, for a problem that is at this point, at best, minor.
Here in this commit instead I just fix the fact that zero length lists,
materialized as quicklists with the first node set to NULL, were
iterated in the wrong way while they are saved, leading to a crash.
The other parts of the list implementation are apparently able to deal
with empty lists correctly, even if they are no longer a thing.
This commit is a reinforcement of commit c1c99e9.
1. Replication information can be stored when the RDB file is
generated by a mater using server.slaveseldb when server.repl_backlog
is not NULL, or set repl_stream_db be -1. That's safe, because
NULL server.repl_backlog will trigger full synchronization,
then master will send SELECT command to replicaiton stream.
2. Only do rdbSave* when rsiptr is not NULL,
if we do rdbSave* without rdbSaveInfo, slave will miss repl-stream-db.
3. Save the replication informations also in the case of
SAVE command, FLUSHALL command and DEBUG reload.
This commit attempts to fix a number of bugs reported in #4316.
They are related to the way replication info like replication ID,
offsets, and currently selected DB in the master client, are stored
and loaded by Redis. In order to avoid inconsistencies the changes in
this commit try to enforce that:
1. Replication information are only stored when the RDB file is
generated by a slave that has a valid 'master' client, so that we can
always extract the currently selected DB.
2. When replication informations are persisted in the RDB file, all the
info for a successful PSYNC or nothing is persisted.
3. The RDB replication informations are only loaded if the instance is
configured as a slave, otherwise a master can start with IDs that relate
to a different history of the data set, and stil retain such IDs in the
future while receiving unrelated writes.
The original RDB serialization format was not parsable without the
module loaded, becuase the structure was managed only by the module
itself. Moreover RDB is a streaming protocol in the sense that it is
both produce di an append-only fashion, and is also sometimes directly
sent to the socket (in the case of diskless replication).
The fact that modules values cannot be parsed without the relevant
module loaded is a problem in many ways: RDB checking tools must have
loaded modules even for doing things not involving the value at all,
like splitting an RDB into N RDBs by key or alike, or just checking the
RDB for sanity.
In theory module values could be just a blob of data with a prefixed
length in order for us to be able to skip it. However prefixing the values
with a length would mean one of the following:
1. To be able to write some data at a previous offset. This breaks
stremaing.
2. To bufferize values before outputting them. This breaks performances.
3. To have some chunked RDB output format. This breaks simplicity.
Moreover, the above solution, still makes module values a totally opaque
matter, with the fowllowing problems:
1. The RDB check tool can just skip the value without being able to at
least check the general structure. For datasets composed mostly of
modules values this means to just check the outer level of the RDB not
actually doing any checko on most of the data itself.
2. It is not possible to do any recovering or processing of data for which a
module no longer exists in the future, or is unknown.
So this commit implements a different solution. The modules RDB
serialization API is composed if well defined calls to store integers,
floats, doubles or strings. After this commit, the parts generated by
the module API have a one-byte prefix for each of the above emitted
parts, and there is a final EOF byte as well. So even if we don't know
exactly how to interpret a module value, we can always parse it at an
high level, check the overall structure, understand the types used to
store the information, and easily skip the whole value.
The change is backward compatible: older RDB files can be still loaded
since the new encoding has a new RDB type: MODULE_2 (of value 7).
The commit also implements the ability to check RDB files for sanity
taking advantage of the new feature.
BACKGROUND AND USE CASEj
Redis slaves are normally write only, however the supprot a "writable"
mode which is very handy when scaling reads on slaves, that actually
need write operations in order to access data. For instance imagine
having slaves replicating certain Sets keys from the master. When
accessing the data on the slave, we want to peform intersections between
such Sets values. However we don't want to intersect each time: to cache
the intersection for some time often is a good idea.
To do so, it is possible to setup a slave as a writable slave, and
perform the intersection on the slave side, perhaps setting a TTL on the
resulting key so that it will expire after some time.
THE BUG
Problem: in order to have a consistent replication, expiring of keys in
Redis replication is up to the master, that synthesize DEL operations to
send in the replication stream. However slaves logically expire keys
by hiding them from read attempts from clients so that if the master did
not promptly sent a DEL, the client still see logically expired keys
as non existing.
Because slaves don't actively expire keys by actually evicting them but
just masking from the POV of read operations, if a key is created in a
writable slave, and an expire is set, the key will be leaked forever:
1. No DEL will be received from the master, which does not know about
such a key at all.
2. No eviction will be performed by the slave, since it needs to disable
eviction because it's up to masters, otherwise consistency of data is
lost.
THE FIX
In order to fix the problem, the slave should be able to tag keys that
were created in the slave side and have an expire set in some way.
My solution involved using an unique additional dictionary created by
the writable slave only if needed. The dictionary is obviously keyed by
the key name that we need to track: all the keys that are set with an
expire directly by a client writing to the slave are tracked.
The value in the dictionary is a bitmap of all the DBs where such a key
name need to be tracked, so that we can use a single dictionary to track
keys in all the DBs used by the slave (actually this limits the solution
to the first 64 DBs, but the default with Redis is to use 16 DBs).
This solution allows to pay both a small complexity and CPU penalty,
which is zero when the feature is not used, actually. The slave-side
eviction is encapsulated in code which is not coupled with the rest of
the Redis core, if not for the hook to track the keys.
TODO
I'm doing the first smoke tests to see if the feature works as expected:
so far so good. Unit tests should be added before merging into the
4.0 branch.
This means that stopping a slave and restarting it will still make it
able to PSYNC with the master. Moreover the master itself will retain
its ID/offset, in case it gets turned into a slave, or if a slave will
try to PSYNC with it with an exactly updated offset (otherwise there is
no backlog).
This change was possible thanks to PSYNC v2 that makes saving the current
replication state much simpler.
The gist of the changes is that now, partial resynchronizations between
slaves and masters (without the need of a full resync with RDB transfer
and so forth), work in a number of cases when it was impossible
in the past. For instance:
1. When a slave is promoted to mastrer, the slaves of the old master can
partially resynchronize with the new master.
2. Chained slalves (slaves of slaves) can be moved to replicate to other
slaves or the master itsef, without requiring a full resync.
3. The master itself, after being turned into a slave, is able to
partially resynchronize with the new master, when it joins replication
again.
In order to obtain this, the following main changes were operated:
* Slaves also take a replication backlog, not just masters.
* Same stream replication for all the slaves and sub slaves. The
replication stream is identical from the top level master to its slaves
and is also the same from the slaves to their sub-slaves and so forth.
This means that if a slave is later promoted to master, it has the
same replication backlong, and can partially resynchronize with its
slaves (that were previously slaves of the old master).
* A given replication history is no longer identified by the `runid` of
a Redis node. There is instead a `replication ID` which changes every
time the instance has a new history no longer coherent with the past
one. So, for example, slaves publish the same replication history of
their master, however when they are turned into masters, they publish
a new replication ID, but still remember the old ID, so that they are
able to partially resynchronize with slaves of the old master (up to a
given offset).
* The replication protocol was slightly modified so that a new extended
+CONTINUE reply from the master is able to inform the slave of a
replication ID change.
* REPLCONF CAPA is used in order to notify masters that a slave is able
to understand the new +CONTINUE reply.
* The RDB file was extended with an auxiliary field that is able to
select a given DB after loading in the slave, so that the slave can
continue receiving the replication stream from the point it was
disconnected without requiring the master to insert "SELECT" statements.
This is useful in order to guarantee the "same stream" property, because
the slave must be able to accumulate an identical backlog.
* Slave pings to sub-slaves are now sent in a special form, when the
top-level master is disconnected, in order to don't interfer with the
replication stream. We just use out of band "\n" bytes as in other parts
of the Redis protocol.
An old design document is available here:
https://gist.github.com/antirez/ae068f95c0d084891305
However the implementation is not identical to the description because
during the work to implement it, different changes were needed in order
to make things working well.
It was noted by @dvirsky that it is not possible to use string functions
when writing the AOF file. This sometimes is critical since the command
rewriting may need to be built in the context of the AOF callback, and
without access to the context, and the limited types that the AOF
production functions will accept, this can be an issue.
Moreover there are other needs that we can't anticipate regarding the
ability to use Redis Modules APIs using the context in order to build
representations to emit AOF / RDB.
Because of this a new API was added that allows the user to get a
temporary context from the IO context. The context is auto released
if obtained when the RDB / AOF callback returns.
Calling multiple time the function to get the context, always returns
the same one, since it is invalid to have more than a single context.
Technically as soon as Redis 64 bit gets proper support for loading
collections and/or DBs with more than 2^32 elements, the 32 bit version
should be modified in order to check if what we read from rdbLoadLen()
overflows. This would only apply to huge RDB files created with a 64 bit
instance and later loaded into a 32 bit instance.
This patch, written in collaboration with Oran Agra (@oranagra) is a companion
to 780a8b1. Together the two patches should avoid that the AOF and RDB saving
processes can be spawned at the same time. Previously conditions that
could lead to two saving processes at the same time were:
1. When AOF is enabled via CONFIG SET and an RDB saving process is
already active.
2. When the SYNC command decides to start an RDB saving process ASAP in
order to serve a new slave that cannot partially resynchronize (but
only if we have a disk target for replication, for diskless
replication there is not such a problem).
Condition "1" is not very severe but "2" can happen often and is
definitely good at degrading Redis performances in an unexpected way.
The two commits have the effect of always spawning RDB savings for
replication in replicationCron() instead of attempting to start an RDB
save synchronously. Moreover when a BGSAVE or AOF rewrite must be
performed, they are instead just postponed using flags that will try to
perform such operations ASAP.
Finally the BGSAVE command was modified in order to accept a SCHEDULE
option so that if an AOF rewrite is in progress, when this option is
given, the command no longer returns an error, but instead schedules an
RDB rewrite operation for when it will be possible to start it.
As Oran Agra suggested, in startBgsaveForReplication() when the BGSAVE
attempt returns an error, we scan the list of slaves in order to remove
them since there is no way to serve them currently.
However we check for the replication state BGSAVE_START, which was
modified by rdbSaveToSlaveSockets() before forking(). So when fork fails
the state of slaves remain BGSAVE_END and no cleanup is performed.
This commit fixes the problem by making rdbSaveToSlavesSockets() able to
undo the state change on fork failure.
In previous commits we moved the FULLRESYNC to the moment we start the
BGSAVE, so that the offset we provide is the right one. However this
also means that we need to re-emit the SELECT statement every time a new
slave starts to accumulate the changes.
To obtian this effect in a more clean way, the function that sends the
FULLRESYNC reply was overloaded with a more important role of also doing
this and chanigng the slave state. So it was renamed to
replicationSetupSlaveForFullResync() to better reflect what it does now.
This commit attempts to fix a bug involving PSYNC and diskless
replication (currently experimental) found by Yuval Inbar from Redis Labs
and that was later found to have even more far reaching effects (the bug also
exists when diskstore is off).
The gist of the bug is that, a Redis master replies with +FULLRESYNC to
a PSYNC attempt that fails and requires a full resynchronization.
However, the baseline offset sent along with FULLRESYNC was always the
current master replication offset. This is not ok, because there are
many reasosn that may delay the RDB file creation. And... guess what,
the master offset we communicate must be the one of the time the RDB
was created. So for example:
1) When the BGSAVE for replication is delayed since there is one
already but is not good for replication.
2) When the BGSAVE is not needed as we attach one currently ongoing.
3) When because of diskless replication the BGSAVE is delayed.
In all the above cases the PSYNC reply is wrong and the slave may
reconnect later claiming to need a wrong offset: this may cause
data curruption later.
Previouly if we loaded a corrupt RDB, Redis printed an error report
with a big "REPORT ON GITHUB" message at the bottom. But, we know
RDB load failures are corrupt data, not corrupt code.
Now when RDB failure is detected (duplicate keys or unknown data
types in the file), we run check-rdb against the RDB then exit. The
automatic check-rdb hopefully gives the user instant feedback
about what is wrong instead of providing a mysterious stack
trace.
It's possible large objects could be larger than 'int', so let's
upgrade all size counters to ssize_t.
This also fixes rdbSaveObject serialized bytes calculation.
Since entire serializations of data structures can be large,
so we don't want to limit their calculated size to a 32 bit signed max.
This commit increases object size calculation and
cascades the change back up to serializedlength printing.

This commit introduces a new RDB data type called 'aux'. It is used in
order to insert inside an RDB file key-value pairs that may serve
different needs, without breaking backward compatibility when new
informations are embedded inside an RDB file. The contract between Redis
versions is to ignore unknown aux fields when encountered.
Aux fields can be used in order to:
1. Augment the RDB file with info like version of Redis that created the
RDB file, creation time, used memory while the RDB was created, and so
forth.
2. Add state about Redis inside the RDB file that we need to reload
later: replication offset, previos master run ID, in order to improve
failovers safety and allow partial resynchronization after a slave
restart.
3. Anything that we may want to add to RDB files without breaking the
ability of past versions of Redis to load the file.
The new opcode is an hint about the size of the dataset (keys and number
of expires) we are going to load for a given Redis database inside the
RDB file. Since hash tables are resized accordingly ASAP, useless
rehashing is avoided, speeding up load times significantly, in the order
of ~ 20% or more for larger data sets.
Related issue: #1719
This removes:
- list-max-ziplist-entries
- list-max-ziplist-value
This adds:
- list-max-ziplist-size
- list-compress-depth
Also updates config file with new sections and updates
tests to use quicklist settings instead of old list settings.
Let user set how many nodes to *not* compress.
We can specify a compression "depth" of how many nodes
to leave uncompressed on each end of the quicklist.
Depth 0 = disable compression.
Depth 1 = only leave head/tail uncompressed.
- (read as: "skip 1 node on each end of the list before compressing")
Depth 2 = leave head, head->next, tail->prev, tail uncompressed.
- ("skip 2 nodes on each end of the list before compressing")
Depth 3 = Depth 2 + head->next->next + tail->prev->prev
- ("skip 3 nodes...")
etc.
This also:
- updates RDB storage to use native quicklist compression (if node is
already compressed) instead of uncompressing, generating the RDB string,
then re-compressing the quicklist node.
- internalizes the "fill" parameter for the quicklist so we don't
need to pass it to _every_ function. Now it's just a property of
the list.
- allows a runtime-configurable compression option, so we can
expose a compresion parameter in the configuration file if people
want to trade slight request-per-second performance for up to 90%+
memory savings in some situations.
- updates the quicklist tests to do multiple passes: 200k+ tests now.
Turns out it's a huge improvement during save/reload/migrate/restore
because, with compression enabled, we're compressing 4k or 8k
chunks of data consisting of multiple elements in one ziplist
instead of compressing series of smaller individual elements.
This replaces individual ziplist vs. linkedlist representations
for Redis list operations.
Big thanks for all the reviews and feedback from everybody in
https://github.com/antirez/redis/pull/2143
1. Server unxtime may remain not updated while loading AOF, so ETA is
not updated correctly.
2. Number of processed byte was not initialized.
3. Possible division by zero condition (likely cause of issue #1932).
We need to avoid that a child -> slaves transfer can continue forever.
We use the same timeout used as global replication timeout, which is
documented to also affect I/O operations during bulk transfers.
To perform a socket write() for each RDB rio API write call was
extremely unefficient, so now rio has minimal buffering capabilities.
Writes are accumulated into a buffer and only when a given limit is
reacehd are actually wrote to the N slaves FDs.
Trivia: rio lacked support for buffering since our targets were:
1) Memory buffers.
2) C standard I/O.
Both were buffered already.
We need to remember what is the saving strategy of the current RDB child
process, since the configuration may be modified at runtime via CONFIG
SET and still we'll need to understand, when the child exists, what to
do and for what goal the process was initiated: to create an RDB file
on disk or to write stuff directly to slave's sockets.
When we are blocked and a few events a processed from time to time, it
is smarter to call the event handler a few times in order to handle the
accept, read, write, close cycle of a client in a single pass, otherwise
there is too much latency added for clients to receive a reply while the
server is busy in some way (for example during the DB loading).
Previously, the (!fp) would only catch lack of free space
under OS X. Linux waits to discover it can't write until
it actually writes contents to disk.
(fwrite() returns success even if the underlying file
has no free space to write into. All the errors
only show up at flush/sync/close time.)
Fixesantirez/redis#1604
server.unixtime and server.mstime are cached less precise timestamps
that we use every time we don't need an accurate time representation and
a syscall would be too slow for the number of calls we require.
Such an example is the initialization and update process of the last
interaction time with the client, that is used for timeouts.
However rdbLoad() can take some time to load the DB, but at the same
time it did not updated the time during DB loading. This resulted in the
bug described in issue #1535, where in the replication process the slave
loads the DB, creates the redisClient representation of its master, but
the timestamp is so old that the master, under certain conditions, is
sensed as already "timed out".
Thanks to @yoav-steinberg and Redis Labs Inc for the bug report and
analysis.
The previous fix for false positive timeout detected by master was not
complete. There is another blocking stage while loading data for the
first synchronization with the master, that is, flushing away the
current data from the DB memory.
This commit uses the newly introduced dict.c callback in order to make
some incremental work (to send "\n" heartbeats to the master) while
flushing the old data from memory.
It is hard to write a regression test for this issue unfortunately. More
support for debugging in the Redis core would be needed in terms of
functionalities to simulate a slow DB loading / deletion.
Starting with Redis 2.8 masters are able to detect timed out slaves,
while before 2.8 only slaves were able to detect a timed out master.
Now that timeout detection is bi-directional the following problem
happens as described "in the field" by issue #1449:
1) Master and slave setup with big dataset.
2) Slave performs the first synchronization, or a full sync
after a failed partial resync.
3) Master sends the RDB payload to the slave.
4) Slave loads this payload.
5) Master detects the slave as timed out since does not receive back the
REPLCONF ACK acknowledges.
Here the problem is that the master has no way to know how much the
slave will take to load the RDB file in memory. The obvious solution is
to use a greater replication timeout setting, but this is a shame since
for the 0.1% of operation time we are forced to use a timeout that is
not what is suited for 99.9% of operation time.
This commit tries to fix this problem with a solution that is a bit of
an hack, but that modifies little of the replication internals, in order
to be back ported to 2.8 safely.
During the RDB loading time, we send the master newlines to avoid
being sensed as timed out. This is the same that the master already does
while saving the RDB file to still signal its presence to the slave.
The single newline is used because:
1) It can't desync the protocol, as it is only transmitted all or
nothing.
2) It can be safely sent while we don't have a client structure for the
master or in similar situations just with write(2).
Previously two string encodings were used for string objects:
1) REDIS_ENCODING_RAW: a string object with obj->ptr pointing to an sds
stirng.
2) REDIS_ENCODING_INT: a string object where the obj->ptr void pointer
is casted to a long.
This commit introduces a experimental new encoding called
REDIS_ENCODING_EMBSTR that implements an object represented by an sds
string that is not modifiable but allocated in the same memory chunk as
the robj structure itself.
The chunk looks like the following:
+--------------+-----------+------------+--------+----+
| robj data... | robj->ptr | sds header | string | \0 |
+--------------+-----+-----+------------+--------+----+
| ^
+-----------------------+
The robj->ptr points to the contiguous sds string data, so the object
can be manipulated with the same functions used to manipulate plan
string objects, however we need just on malloc and one free in order to
allocate or release this kind of objects. Moreover it has better cache
locality.
This new allocation strategy should benefit both the memory usage and
the performances. A performance gain between 60 and 70% was observed
during micro-benchmarks, however there is more work to do to evaluate
the performance impact and the memory usage behavior.
When a BGSAVE fails, Redis used to flood itself trying to BGSAVE at
every next cron call, that is either 10 or 100 times per second
depending on configuration and server version.
This commit does not allow a new automatic BGSAVE attempt to be
performed before a few seconds delay (currently 5).
This avoids both the auto-flood problem and filling the disk with
logs at a serious rate.
The five seconds limit, considering a log entry of 200 bytes, will use
less than 4 MB of disk space per day that is reasonable, the sysadmin
should notice before of catastrofic events especially since by default
Redis will stop serving write queries after the first failed BGSAVE.
This fixes issue #849
This fixes cases where the RDB file does exist but can't be accessed for
any reason. For instance, when the Redis process doesn't have enough
permissions on the file.
This commit allows Redis to set a process name that includes the binding
address and the port number in order to make operations simpler.
Redis children processes doing AOF rewrites or RDB saving change the
name into redis-aof-rewrite and redis-rdb-bgsave respectively.
This in general makes harder to kill the wrong process because of an
error and makes simpler to identify saving children.
This feature was suggested by Arnaud GRANAL in the Redis Google Group,
Arnaud also pointed me to the setproctitle.c implementation includeed in
this commit.
This feature should work on all the Linux, OSX, and all the three major
BSD systems.
This commit fixes issue #875 that was caused by the following events:
1) There is an active child doing BGSAVE.
2) flushall is called (or any other condition that makes Redis killing
the saving child process).
3) An error is sensed by Redis as the child exited with an error (killed
by a singal), that stops accepting write commands until a BGSAVE happens
to be executed with success.
Whitelisting SIGUSR1 and making sure Redis always uses this signal in
order to kill its own children fixes the issue.
Finally Redis is able to report the amount of memory used by
copy-on-write while saving an RDB or writing an AOF file in background.
Note that this information is currently only logged (at NOTICE level)
and not shown in INFO because this is less trivial (but surely doable
with some minor form of interprocess communication).
The reason we can't capture this information on the parent before we
call wait3() is that the Linux kernel will release the child memory
ASAP, and only retain the minimal state for the process that is useful
to report the child termination to the parent.
The COW size is obtained by summing all the Private_Dirty fields found
in the "smap" file inside the proc filesystem for the process.
All this is Linux specific and is not available on other systems.
Improved comments to make clear that rdbLoadType() just loads a
general TYPE in the context of RDB that can be an object type or an
expire type, end-of-file, and so forth.
While rdbLoadObjectType() enforces that the type is a valid Object Type
otherwise it returns -1.
The 'persistence' section of INFO output now contains additional four
fields related to RDB and AOF persistence:
rdb_last_bgsave_time_sec Duration of latest BGSAVE in sec.
rdb_current_bgsave_time_sec Duration of current BGSAVE in sec.
aof_last_rewrite_time_sec Duration of latest AOF rewrite in sec.
aof_current_rewrite_time_sec Duration of current AOF rewrite in sec.
The 'current' fields are set to -1 if a BGSAVE / AOF rewrite is not in
progress. The 'last' fileds are set to -1 if no previous BGSAVE / AOF
rewrites were performed.
Additionally a few fields in the persistence section were renamed for
consistency:
changes_since_last_save -> rdb_changes_since_last_save
bgsave_in_progress -> rdb_bgsave_in_progress
last_save_time -> rdb_last_save_time
last_bgsave_status -> rdb_last_bgsave_status
bgrewriteaof_in_progress -> aof_rewrite_in_progress
bgrewriteaof_scheduled -> aof_rewrite_scheduled
After the renaming, fields in the persistence section start with rdb_ or
aof_ prefix depending on the persistence method they describe.
The field 'loading' and related fields are not prefixed because they are
unique for both the persistence methods.
