All the occurrences translated, but the ones referring to SLAVEOF
must be intact because that describe the actual Sentinel -> Redis
protocol. In theory we could send REPLICAOF to Redis instances, but
actually this would prevent Sentinel to be compatible with older Redis
instances.
SENTINEL REPLICAS was added as an alias, in the configuration rewriting
now it uses known-replica, however all the rest is basically at API
level of logged events and messages having to do with the protocol, so
there is very little to do here compared to the Redis core itself, to
preserve compatibility.
Aliases added for all the commands mentioning slave. Moreover CONFIG
REWRITE will use the new names, and will be able to reuse the old lines
mentioning the old options.
xadd with id * generates random stream id
xadd & xtrim with approximate maxlen count may
trim stream randomly
xinfo may get random radix-tree-keys/nodes
xpending may get random idletime
xclaim: master and slave may have different
idletime in stream
Here the idea is that we do not want freeMemoryIfNeeded() to propagate a
DEL command before the script and change what happens in the script
execution once it reaches the slave. For example see this potential
issue (in the words of @soloestoy):
On master, we run the following script:
if redis.call('get','key')
then
redis.call('set','xxx','yyy')
end
redis.call('set','c','d')
Then when redis attempts to execute redis.call('set','xxx','yyy'), we call freeMemoryIfNeeded(), and the key may get deleted, and because redis.call('set','xxx','yyy') has already been executed on master, this script will be replicated to slave.
But the slave received "DEL key" before the script, and will ignore maxmemory, so after that master has xxx and c, slave has only one key c.
Note that this patch (and other related work) was authored collaboratively in
issue #5250 with the help of @soloestoy and @oranagra.
