The code tried to obtain the configuration file absolute path after
processing the configuration file. However if config file was a relative
path and a "dir" statement was processed reading the config, the absolute
path obtained was wrong.
With this fix the absolute path is obtained before processing the
configuration while the server is still in the original directory where
it was executed.
Now it logs the file name if it is not accessible. Also there is a
different error for the missing config file case, and for the non
writable file case.
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.
This commit fixes a serious Lua scripting replication issue, described
by Github issue #1549. The root cause of the problem is that scripts
were put inside the script cache, assuming that slaves and AOF already
contained it, even if the scripts sometimes produced no changes in the
data set, and were not actaully propagated to AOF/slaves.
Example:
eval "if tonumber(KEYS[1]) > 0 then redis.call('incr', 'x') end" 1 0
Then:
evalsha <sha1 step 1 script> 1 0
At this step sha1 of the script is added to the replication script cache
(the script is marked as known to the slaves) and EVALSHA command is
transformed to EVAL. However it is not dirty (there is no changes to db),
so it is not propagated to the slaves. Then the script is called again:
evalsha <sha1 step 1 script> 1 1
At this step master checks that the script already exists in the
replication script cache and doesn't transform it to EVAL command. It is
dirty and propagated to the slaves, but they fail to evaluate the script
as they don't have it in the script cache.
The fix is trivial and just uses the new API to force the propagation of
the executed command regardless of the dirty state of the data set.
Thank you to @minus-infinity on Github for finding the issue,
understanding the root cause, and fixing it.
A system similar to the RDB write error handling is used, in which when
we can't write to the AOF file, writes are no longer accepted until we
are able to write again.
For fsync == always we still abort on errors since there is currently no
easy way to avoid replying with success to the user otherwise, and this
would violate the contract with the user of only acknowledging data
already secured on disk.
Avoid to trash a configEpoch for every slot migrated if this node has
already the max configEpoch across the cluster.
Still work to do in this area but this avoids both ending with a very
high configEpoch without any reason and to flood the system with fsyncs.
The actual goal of the function was to get the max configEpoch found in
the cluster, so make it general by removing the assignment of the max
epoch to currentEpoch that is useful only at startup.
Removed a stale conditional preventing the configEpoch from incrementing
after the import in certain conditions. Since the master got a new slot
it should always claim a new configuration.
The node receiving the hash slot needs to have a version that wins over
the other versions in order to force the ownership of the slot.
However the current code is far from perfect since a failover can happen
during the manual resharding. The fix is a work in progress but the
bottom line is that the new version must either be voted as usually,
set by redis-trib manually after it makes sure can't be used by other
nodes, or reserved configEpochs could be used for manual operations (for
example odd versions could be never used by slaves and are always used
by CLUSTER SETSLOT NODE).
During slots migration redis-trib can send a number of SETSLOT commands.
Fsyncing every time is a bit too much in production as verified
empirically.
To make sure configs are fsynced on all nodes after a resharding
redis-trib may send something like CLUSTER CONFSYNC.
In this case fsyncs were not providing too much value since anyway
processes can crash in the middle of the resharding of an hash slot, and
redis-trib should be able to recover from this condition anyway.
If the slot is manually assigned to another node, clear the migrating
status regardless of the fact it was previously assigned to us or not,
as long as we no longer have keys for this slot.
This avoid a race during slots migration that may leave the slot in
migrating status in the source node, since it received an update message
from the destination node that is already claiming the slot.
This way we are sure that redis-trib at the end of the slot migration is
always able to close the slot correctly.
Currently this is marginally useful, only to make sure two keys are in
the same hash slot when the cluster is stable (no rehashing in
progress).
In the future it is possible that support will be added to run
mutli-keys operations with keys in the same hash slot.
Sometime an osx master with a Linux server over a slow link caused
a strange error where osx called the writable function for
the socket but actually apparently there was no room in the socket
buffer to accept the write: write(2) call returned an EAGAIN error,
that was not checked, so we considered write(2) == 0 always as a connection
reset, which was unfortunate since the bulk transfer has to start again.
Also more errors are logged with the WARNING level in the same code path
now.
When a slave requests masters vote for a manual failover, the
REQUEST_AUTH message is flagged in a special way in order to force the
masters to give the authorization even if the master is not marked as
failing.
The API is one of the bulding blocks of CLUSTER FAILOVER command that
executes a manual failover in Redis Cluster. However exposed as a
command that the user can call directly, it makes much simpler to
upgrade a standalone Redis instance using a slave in a safer way.
The commands works like that:
CLIENT PAUSE <milliesconds>
All the clients that are not slaves and not in MONITOR state are paused
for the specified number of milliesconds. This means that slaves are
normally served in the meantime.
At the end of the specified amount of time all the clients are unblocked
and will continue operations normally. This command has no effects on
the population of the slow log, since clients are not blocked in the
middle of operations but only when there is to process new data.
Note that while the clients are unblocked, still new commands are
accepted and queued in the client buffer, so clients will likely not
block while writing to the server while the pause is active.
Keys expiring in the middle of the execution of Lua scripts are to
create inconsistencies in masters and / or AOF files. See the following
example:
if redis.call("exists",KEYS[1]) == 1
then
redis.call("incr","mycounter")
end
if redis.call("exists",KEYS[1]) == 1
then
return redis.call("incr","mycounter")
end
The script executes two times the same *if key exists then incrementcounter*
logic. However the two executions will work differently in the master and
the slaves, provided some unlucky timing happens.
In the master the first time the key may still exist, while the second time
the key may no longer exist. This will result in the key incremented just one
time. However as a side effect the master will generate a synthetic
`DEL` command in the replication channel in order to force the slaves to
expire the key (given that key expiration is master-driven).
When the same script will run in the slave, the key will no longer be
there, so the script will not increment the key.
The key idea used to implement the expire-at-first-lookup semantics was
provided by Marc Gravell.
server.lua_time_start is expressed in milliseconds. Use mstime_t instead
of long long, and populate it with mstime() instead of ustime()/1000.
Functionally identical but more natural.
