# Redis Functions Flags
Following the discussion on #10025 Added Functions Flags support.
The PR is divided to 2 sections:
* Add named argument support to `redis.register_function` API.
* Add support for function flags
## `redis.register_function` named argument support
The first part of the PR adds support for named argument on `redis.register_function`, example:
```
redis.register_function{
function_name='f1',
callback=function()
return 'hello'
end,
description='some desc'
}
```
The positional arguments is also kept, which means that it still possible to write:
```
redis.register_function('f1', function() return 'hello' end)
```
But notice that it is no longer possible to pass the optional description argument on the positional
argument version. Positional argument was change to allow passing only the mandatory arguments
(function name and callback). To pass more arguments the user must use the named argument version.
As with positional arguments, the `function_name` and `callback` is mandatory and an error will be
raise if those are missing. Also, an error will be raise if an unknown argument name is given or the
arguments type is wrong.
Tests was added to verify the new syntax.
## Functions Flags
The second part of the PR is adding functions flags support.
Flags are given to Redis when the engine calls `functionLibCreateFunction`, supported flags are:
* `no-writes` - indicating the function perform no writes which means that it is OK to run it on:
* read-only replica
* Using FCALL_RO
* If disk error detected
It will not be possible to run a function in those situations unless the function turns on the `no-writes` flag
* `allow-oom` - indicate that its OK to run the function even if Redis is in OOM state, if the function will
not turn on this flag it will not be possible to run it if OOM reached (even if the function declares `no-writes`
and even if `fcall_ro` is used). If this flag is set, any command will be allow on OOM (even those that is
marked with CMD_DENYOOM). The assumption is that this flag is for advance users that knows its
meaning and understand what they are doing, and Redis trust them to not increase the memory usage.
(e.g. it could be an INCR or a modification on an existing key, or a DEL command)
* `allow-state` - indicate that its OK to run the function on stale replica, in this case we will also make
sure the function is only perform `stale` commands and raise an error if not.
* `no-cluster` - indicate to disallow running the function if cluster is enabled.
Default behaviure of functions (if no flags is given):
1. Allow functions to read and write
2. Do not run functions on OOM
3. Do not run functions on stale replica
4. Allow functions on cluster
### Lua API for functions flags
On Lua engine, it is possible to give functions flags as `flags` named argument:
```
redis.register_function{function_name='f1', callback=function() return 1 end, flags={'no-writes', 'allow-oom'}, description='description'}
```
The function flags argument must be a Lua table that contains all the requested flags, The following
will result in an error:
* Unknown flag
* Wrong flag type
Default behaviour is the same as if no flags are used.
Tests were added to verify all flags functionality
## Additional changes
* mark FCALL and FCALL_RO with CMD_STALE flag (unlike EVAL), so that they can run if the function was
registered with the `allow-stale` flag.
* Verify `CMD_STALE` on `scriptCall` (`redis.call`), so it will not be possible to call commands from script while
stale unless the command is marked with the `CMD_STALE` flags. so that even if the function is allowed while
stale we do not allow it to bypass the `CMD_STALE` flag of commands.
* Flags section was added to `FUNCTION LIST` command to provide the set of flags for each function:
```
> FUNCTION list withcode
1) 1) "library_name"
2) "test"
3) "engine"
4) "LUA"
5) "description"
6) (nil)
7) "functions"
8) 1) 1) "name"
2) "f1"
3) "description"
4) (nil)
5) "flags"
6) (empty array)
9) "library_code"
10) "redis.register_function{function_name='f1', callback=function() return 1 end}"
```
* Added API to get Redis version from within a script, The redis version can be provided using:
1. `redis.REDIS_VERSION` - string representation of the redis version in the format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATH
2. `redis.REDIS_VERSION_NUM` - number representation of the redis version in the format of `0x00MMmmpp`
(`MM` - major, `mm` - minor, `pp` - patch). The number version can be used to check if version is greater or less
another version. The string version can be used to return to the user or print as logs.
This new API is provided to eval scripts and functions, it also possible to use this API during functions loading phase.
# Redis Function Libraries
This PR implements Redis Functions Libraries as describe on: https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9906.
Libraries purpose is to provide a better code sharing between functions by allowing to create multiple
functions in a single command. Functions that were created together can safely share code between
each other without worrying about compatibility issues and versioning.
Creating a new library is done using 'FUNCTION LOAD' command (full API is described below)
This PR introduces a new struct called libraryInfo, libraryInfo holds information about a library:
* name - name of the library
* engine - engine used to create the library
* code - library code
* description - library description
* functions - the functions exposed by the library
When Redis gets the `FUNCTION LOAD` command it creates a new empty libraryInfo.
Redis passes the `CODE` to the relevant engine alongside the empty libraryInfo.
As a result, the engine will create one or more functions by calling 'libraryCreateFunction'.
The new funcion will be added to the newly created libraryInfo. So far Everything is happening
locally on the libraryInfo so it is easy to abort the operation (in case of an error) by simply
freeing the libraryInfo. After the library info is fully constructed we start the joining phase by
which we will join the new library to the other libraries currently exist on Redis.
The joining phase make sure there is no function collision and add the library to the
librariesCtx (renamed from functionCtx). LibrariesCtx is used all around the code in the exact
same way as functionCtx was used (with respect to RDB loading, replicatio, ...).
The only difference is that apart from function dictionary (maps function name to functionInfo
object), the librariesCtx contains also a libraries dictionary that maps library name to libraryInfo object.
## New API
### FUNCTION LOAD
`FUNCTION LOAD <ENGINE> <LIBRARY NAME> [REPLACE] [DESCRIPTION <DESCRIPTION>] <CODE>`
Create a new library with the given parameters:
* ENGINE - REPLACE Engine name to use to create the library.
* LIBRARY NAME - The new library name.
* REPLACE - If the library already exists, replace it.
* DESCRIPTION - Library description.
* CODE - Library code.
Return "OK" on success, or error on the following cases:
* Library name already taken and REPLACE was not used
* Name collision with another existing library (even if replace was uses)
* Library registration failed by the engine (usually compilation error)
## Changed API
### FUNCTION LIST
`FUNCTION LIST [LIBRARYNAME <LIBRARY NAME PATTERN>] [WITHCODE]`
Command was modified to also allow getting libraries code (so `FUNCTION INFO` command is no longer
needed and removed). In addition the command gets an option argument, `LIBRARYNAME` allows you to
only get libraries that match the given `LIBRARYNAME` pattern. By default, it returns all libraries.
### INFO MEMORY
Added number of libraries to `INFO MEMORY`
### Commands flags
`DENYOOM` flag was set on `FUNCTION LOAD` and `FUNCTION RESTORE`. We consider those commands
as commands that add new data to the dateset (functions are data) and so we want to disallows
to run those commands on OOM.
## Removed API
* FUNCTION CREATE - Decided on https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9906
* FUNCTION INFO - Decided on https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9899
## Lua engine changes
When the Lua engine gets the code given on `FUNCTION LOAD` command, it immediately runs it, we call
this run the loading run. Loading run is not a usual script run, it is not possible to invoke any
Redis command from within the load run.
Instead there is a new API provided by `library` object. The new API's:
* `redis.log` - behave the same as `redis.log`
* `redis.register_function` - register a new function to the library
The loading run purpose is to register functions using the new `redis.register_function` API.
Any attempt to use any other API will result in an error. In addition, the load run is has a time
limit of 500ms, error is raise on timeout and the entire operation is aborted.
### `redis.register_function`
`redis.register_function(<function_name>, <callback>, [<description>])`
This new API allows users to register a new function that will be linked to the newly created library.
This API can only be called during the load run (see definition above). Any attempt to use it outside
of the load run will result in an error.
The parameters pass to the API are:
* function_name - Function name (must be a Lua string)
* callback - Lua function object that will be called when the function is invokes using fcall/fcall_ro
* description - Function description, optional (must be a Lua string).
### Example
The following example creates a library called `lib` with 2 functions, `f1` and `f1`, returns 1 and 2 respectively:
```
local function f1(keys, args)
return 1
end
local function f2(keys, args)
return 2
end
redis.register_function('f1', f1)
redis.register_function('f2', f2)
```
Notice: Unlike `eval`, functions inside a library get the KEYS and ARGV as arguments to the
functions and not as global.
### Technical Details
On the load run we only want the user to be able to call a white list on API's. This way, in
the future, if new API's will be added, the new API's will not be available to the load run
unless specifically added to this white list. We put the while list on the `library` object and
make sure the `library` object is only available to the load run by using [lua_setfenv](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_setfenv) API. This API allows us to set
the `globals` of a function (and all the function it creates). Before starting the load run we
create a new fresh Lua table (call it `g`) that only contains the `library` API (we make sure
to set global protection on this table just like the general global protection already exists
today), then we use [lua_setfenv](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_setfenv)
to set `g` as the global table of the load run. After the load run finished we update `g`
metatable and set `__index` and `__newindex` functions to be `_G` (Lua default globals),
we also pop out the `library` object as we do not need it anymore.
This way, any function that was created on the load run (and will be invoke using `fcall`) will
see the default globals as it expected to see them and will not have the `library` API anymore.
An important outcome of this new approach is that now we can achieve a distinct global table
for each library (it is not yet like that but it is very easy to achieve it now). In the future we can
decide to remove global protection because global on different libraries will not collide or we
can chose to give different API to different libraries base on some configuration or input.
Notice that this technique was meant to prevent errors and was not meant to prevent malicious
user from exploit it. For example, the load run can still save the `library` object on some local
variable and then using in `fcall` context. To prevent such a malicious use, the C code also make
sure it is running in the right context and if not raise an error.
This commit adds DUMP RESTORES tests for the -x and -X options.
I wanted to add it in #9980 which introduce the -X option, but
back then i failed due to some errors (related to redis-cli call).
This is needed in order to ease the deployment of functions for ephemeral cases, where user
needs to spin up a server with functions pre-loaded.
#### Details:
* Added `--functions-rdb` option to _redis-cli_.
* Functions only rdb via `REPLCONF rdb-filter-only functions`. This is a placeholder for a space
separated inclusion filter for the RDB. In the future can be `REPLCONF rdb-filter-only
"functions db:3 key-patten:user*"` and a complementing `rdb-filter-exclude` `REPLCONF`
can also be added.
* Handle "slave requirements" specification to RDB saving code so we can use the same RDB
when different slaves express the same requirements (like functions-only) and not share the
RDB when their requirements differ. This is currently just a flags `int`, but can be extended to
a more complex structure with various filter fields.
* make sure to support filters only in diskless replication mode (not to override the persistence file),
we do that by forcing diskless (even if disabled by config)
other changes:
* some refactoring in rdb.c (extract portion of a big function to a sub-function)
* rdb_key_save_delay used in AOFRW too
* sendChildInfo takes the number of updated keys (incremental, rather than absolute)

There are two changes in this commit:
1. Add -X option to redis-cli.
Currently `-x` can only be used to provide the last argument,
so you can do `redis-cli dump keyname > key.dump`,
and then do `redis-cli -x restore keyname 0 < key.dump`.
But what if you want to add the replace argument (which comes last?).
oran suggested adding such usage:
`redis-cli -X <tag> restore keyname <tag> replace < key.dump`
i.e. you're able to provide a string in the arguments that's gonna be
substituted with the content from stdin.
Note that the tag name should not conflict with others non-replaced args.
And the -x and -X options are conflicting.
Some usages:
```
[root]# echo mypasswd | src/redis-cli -X passwd_tag mset username myname password passwd_tag OK
[root]# echo username > username.txt
[root]# head -c -1 username.txt | src/redis-cli -X name_tag mget name_tag password
1) "myname"
2) "mypasswd\n"
```
2. Handle the combination of both `-x` and `--cluster` or `-X` and `--cluster`
Extend the broadcast option to receive the last arg or <tag> arg from the stdin.
Now we can use `redis-cli -x --cluster call <host>:<port> cmd`,
or `redis-cli -X <tag> --cluster call <host>:<port> cmd <tag>`.
(support part of #9899)
- add needs:debug flag for some tests
- disable "save" in external tests (speedup?)
- use debug_digest proc instead of debug command directly so it can be skipped
- use OBJECT ENCODING instead of DEBUG OBJECT to get encoding
- add a proc for OBJECT REFCOUNT so it can be skipped
- move a bunch of tests in latency_monitor tests to happen later so that latency monitor has some values in it
- add missing close_replication_stream calls
- make sure to close the temp client if DEBUG LOG fails
When redis-cli received ASK, it used string matching wrong and didn't
handle it.
When we access a slot which is in migrating state, it maybe
return ASK. After redirect to the new node, we need send ASKING
command before retry the command. In this PR after redis-cli receives
ASK, we send a ASKING command before send the origin command
after reconnecting.
Other changes:
* Make redis-cli -u and -c (unix socket and cluster mode) incompatible
with one another.
* When send command fails, we avoid the 2nd reconnect retry and just
print the error info. Users will decide how to do next.
See #9277.
* Add a test faking two redis nodes in TCL to just send ASK and OK in
redis protocol to test ASK behavior.

In some cases large replies on slow systems may only be partially read
by the test suite, resulting with parsing errors.
This fix is still timing sensitive but should greatly reduce the chances
of this happening.
1. redis-cli can output --rdb data to stdout
but redis-cli also write some messages to stdout which will mess up the rdb.
2. Make redis-cli flush stdout when printing a reply
This was needed in order to fix a hung in redis-cli test that uses
--replica.
Note that printf does flush when there's a newline, but fwrite does not.
3. fix the redis-cli --replica test which used to pass previously
because it didn't really care what it read, and because redis-cli
used printf to print these other things to stdout.
4. improve redis-cli --replica test to run with both diskless and disk-based.

This commit revives the improves the ability to run the test suite against
external servers, instead of launching and managing `redis-server` processes as
part of the test fixture.
This capability existed in the past, using the `--host` and `--port` options.
However, it was quite limited and mostly useful when running a specific tests.
Attempting to run larger chunks of the test suite experienced many issues:
* Many tests depend on being able to start and control `redis-server` themselves,
and there's no clear distinction between external server compatible and other
tests.
* Cluster mode is not supported (resulting with `CROSSSLOT` errors).
This PR cleans up many things and makes it possible to run the entire test suite
against an external server. It also provides more fine grained controls to
handle cases where the external server supports a subset of the Redis commands,
limited number of databases, cluster mode, etc.
The tests directory now contains a `README.md` file that describes how this
works.
This commit also includes additional cleanups and fixes:
* Tests can now be tagged.
* Tag-based selection is now unified across `start_server`, `tags` and `test`.
* More information is provided about skipped or ignored tests.
* Repeated patterns in tests have been extracted to common procedures, both at a
global level and on a per-test file basis.
* Cleaned up some cases where test setup was based on a previous test executing
(a major anti-pattern that repeats itself in many places).
* Cleaned up some cases where test teardown was not part of a test (in the
future we should have dedicated teardown code that executes even when tests
fail).
* Fixed some tests that were flaky running on external servers.
* The `redis-cli --scan` output should honor output mode (set explicitly or implicitly), and quote key names when not in raw mode.
* Technically this is a breaking change, but it should be very minor since raw mode is by default on for non-tty output.
* It should only affect TTY output (human users) or non-tty output if `--no-raw` is specified.
* Added `--quoted-input` option to treat all arguments as potentially quoted strings.
* Added `--quoted-pattern` option to accept a potentially quoted pattern.
Unquoting is applied to potentially quoted input only if single or double quotes are used.
Fixes#8561, #8563
This re-implements the redis-cli --pipe test so it no longer depends on a close feature available only in TCL 8.6.
Basically what this test does is run redis-cli --pipe, generates a bunch of commands and pipes them through redis-cli, and inspects the result in both Redis and the redis-cli output.
To do that, we need to close stdin for redis-cli to indicate we're done so it can flush its buffers and exit. TCL has bi-directional channels can only offers a way to "one-way close" a channel with TCL 8.6. To work around that, we now generate the commands into a file and feed that file to redis-cli directly.
As we're writing to an actual file, the number of commands is now reduced.
interestingly the latency monitor test fails because valgrind is slow
enough so that the time inside PEXPIREAT command from the moment of
the first mstime() call to get the basetime until checkAlreadyExpired
calls mstime() again is more than 1ms, and that test was too sensitive.
using this opportunity to speed up the test (unrelated to the failure)
the fix is just the longer time passed to PEXPIRE.
* Tests: fix and reintroduce redis-cli tests.
These tests have been broken and disabled for 10 years now!
* TLS: add remaining redis-cli support.
This adds support for the redis-cli --pipe, --rdb and --replica options
previously unsupported in --tls mode.
* Fix writeConn().
* Introduce a connection abstraction layer for all socket operations and
integrate it across the code base.
* Provide an optional TLS connections implementation based on OpenSSL.
* Pull a newer version of hiredis with TLS support.
* Tests, redis-cli updates for TLS support.
