Adds the ability to track the lag of a consumer group (CG), that is, the number of entries yet-to-be-delivered from the stream. The proposed constant-time solution is in the spirit of "best-effort." Partially addresses #8737. ## Description of approach We add a new "entries_added" property to the stream. This starts at 0 for a new stream and is incremented by 1 with every `XADD`. It is essentially an all-time counter of the entries added to the stream. Given the stream's length and this counter value, we can trivially find the logical "entries_added" counter of the first ID if and only if the stream is contiguous. A fragmented stream contains one or more tombstones generated by `XDEL`s. The new "xdel_max_id" stream property tracks the latest tombstone. The CG also tracks its last delivered ID's as an "entries_read" counter and increments it independently when delivering new messages, unless the this read counter is invalid (-1 means invalid offset). When the CG's counter is available, the reported lag is the difference between added and read counters. Lastly, this also adds a "first_id" field to the stream structure in order to make looking it up cheaper in most cases. ## Limitations There are two cases in which the mechanism isn't able to track the lag. In these cases, `XINFO` replies with `null` in the "lag" field. The first case is when a CG is created with an arbitrary last delivered ID, that isn't "0-0", nor the first or the last entries of the stream. In this case, it is impossible to obtain a valid read counter (short of an O(N) operation). The second case is when there are one or more tombstones fragmenting the stream's entries range. In both cases, given enough time and assuming that the consumers are active (reading and lacking) and advancing, the CG should be able to catch up with the tip of the stream and report zero lag. Once that's achieved, lag tracking would resume as normal (until the next tombstone is set). ## API changes * `XGROUP CREATE` added with the optional named argument `[ENTRIESREAD entries-read]` for explicitly specifying the new CG's counter. * `XGROUP SETID` added with an optional positional argument `[ENTRIESREAD entries-read]` for specifying the CG's counter. * `XINFO` reports the maximal tombstone ID, the recorded first entry ID, and total number of entries added to the stream. * `XINFO` reports the current lag and logical read counter of CGs. * `XSETID` is an internal command that's used in replication/aof. It has been added with the optional positional arguments `[ENTRIESADDED entries-added] [MAXDELETEDID max-deleted-entry-id]` for propagating the CG's offset and maximal tombstone ID of the stream. ## The generic unsolved problem The current stream implementation doesn't provide an efficient way to obtain the approximate/exact size of a range of entries. While it could've been nice to have that ability (#5813) in general, let alone specifically in the context of CGs, the risk and complexities involved in such implementation are in all likelihood prohibitive. ## A refactoring note The `streamGetEdgeID` has been refactored to accommodate both the existing seek of any entry as well as seeking non-deleted entries (the addition of the `skip_tombstones` argument). Furthermore, this refactoring also migrated the seek logic to use the `streamIterator` (rather than `raxIterator`) that was, in turn, extended with the `skip_tombstones` Boolean struct field to control the emission of these.

Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server
instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host
and --port
parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip
are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
Option | Impact |
---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_server
contexttags
context that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
Tag | Indicates |
---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode . |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not campatible with --tls . |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT ). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host
and --port
), filtering using the
external:skip
tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode
, filtering using the cluster:skip
tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory
, filtering using the largemem:skip
tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC
use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
