The main change introduced by this commit is pretending that help
arrays are more text than code, thus indenting them at level 0. This
improves readability, and is an old practice when defining arrays of
C strings describing text.
Additionally a few useless return statements are removed, and the HELP
subcommand capitalized when printed to the user.
We have this operation in two places: when caching the master and
when linking a new client after the client creation. By having an API
for this we avoid incurring in errors when modifying one of the two
places forgetting the other. The function is also a good place where to
document why we cache the linked list node.
Related to #4497 and #4210.
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.
Unfortunately, as outlined by @soloestoy in #4505, "lua" AUX RDB field
loading in case of duplicated script was still broken. This commit fixes
this problem and also a memory leak introduced by the past commit.
Note that now we have a regression test able to duplicate the issue, so
this commit was actually tested against the regression. The original PR
also had a valid fix, but I prefer to hide the details of scripting.c
outside scripting.c, and later "SCRIPT LOAD" should also be able to use
the function luaCreateFunction() instead of redoing the work.
With PSYNC2 to force a full SYNC in tests is hard. With this new DEBUG
subcommand we just need to call it and then CLIENT KILL TYPE master in
the slave.
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.
It's a bit of black magic without actually tracking it inside rax.c,
however Redis usage of the radix tree for the stream data structure is
quite consistent, so a few magic constants apparently are producing
results that make sense.
Note that streams produced by XADD in previous broken versions having
elements with 4096 bytes or more will be permanently broken and must be
created again from scratch.
Fix#4428Fix#4349
After checking with the community via Twitter (here:
https://twitter.com/antirez/status/915130876861788161) the verdict was to
use ":". However I later realized, after users lamented the fact that
it's hard to copy IDs just with double click, that this was the reason
why I moved to "." in the first instance. Fortunately "-", that was the
other option with most votes, also gets selected with double click on
most terminal applications on Linux and MacOS.
So my reasoning was:
1) We can't retain "." because it's actually confusing to newcomers, it
looks like a floating number, people may be tricked into thinking they
can order IDs numerically as floats.
2) Moving to a double-click-to-select format is much better. People will
work with such IDs for long time when coding / debugging. Why making now
a choice that will impact this for the next years?
The only other viable option was "-", and that's what I did. Thanks.
