Add two optional callbacks to the RedisModuleTypeMethods structure, which is `free_effort`
and `unlink`. the `free_effort` callback indicates the effort required to free a module memory.
Currently, if the effort exceeds LAZYFREE_THRESHOLD, the module memory may be released
asynchronously. the `unlink` callback indicates the key has been removed from the DB by redis, and
may soon be freed by a background thread.
Add `lazyfreed_objects` info field, which represents the number of objects that have been
lazyfreed since redis was started.
Add `RM_GetTypeMethodVersion` API, which return the current redis-server runtime value of
`REDISMODULE_TYPE_METHOD_VERSION`. You can use that when calling `RM_CreateDataType` to know
which fields of RedisModuleTypeMethods are gonna be supported and which will be ignored.
This is essentially the same as calling COMMAND GETKEYS but provides a
more efficient interface that can be used in every context (i.e. not a
Redis command).
The implementation expose the following new functions:
1. RedisModule_CursorCreate - allow to create a new cursor object for
keys scanning
2. RedisModule_CursorRestart - restart an existing cursor to restart the
scan
3. RedisModule_CursorDestroy - destroy an existing cursor
4. RedisModule_Scan - scan keys
The RedisModule_Scan function gets a cursor object, a callback and void*
(used as user private data).
The callback will be called for each key in the database proving the key
name and the value as RedisModuleKey.
Add two new functions that leverage the RedisModuleDataType mechanism
for RDB serialization/deserialization and make it possible to use it
to/from arbitrary strings:
* RM_SaveDataTypeToString()
* RM_LoadDataTypeFromString()
Adding a test for coverage for RM_Call in a new "misc" unit
to be used for various short simple tests
also solves compilation warnings in redismodule.h and fork.c
* create module API for forking child processes.
* refactor duplicate code around creating and tracking forks by AOF and RDB.
* child processes listen to SIGUSR1 and dies exitFromChild in order to
eliminate a valgrind warning of unhandled signal.
* note that BGSAVE error reply has changed.
valgrind error is:
Process terminating with default action of signal 10 (SIGUSR1)
