since PUBLISH and SPUBLISH use different dictionaries for channels and clients,
and we already have an API for PUBLISH, it only makes sense to have one for SPUBLISH
Add test coverage and unifying some test infrastructure.
Add APIs to allow modules to compute the memory consumption of opaque objects owned by redis.
Without these, the mem_usage callbacks of module data types are useless in many cases.
Other changes:
Fix streamRadixTreeMemoryUsage to include the size of the rax structure itself
This feature adds the ability to add four different types (Bool, Numeric,
String, Enum) of configurations to a module to be accessed via the redis
config file, and the CONFIG command.
**Configuration Names**:
We impose a restriction that a module configuration always starts with the
module name and contains a '.' followed by the config name. If a module passes
"config1" as the name to a register function, it will be registered as MODULENAME.config1.
**Configuration Persistence**:
Module Configurations exist only as long as a module is loaded. If a module is
unloaded, the configurations are removed.
There is now also a minimal core API for removal of standardConfig objects
from configs by name.
**Get and Set Callbacks**:
Storage of config values is owned by the module that registers them, and provides
callbacks for Redis to access and manipulate the values.
This is exposed through a GET and SET callback.
The get callback returns a typed value of the config to redis. The callback takes
the name of the configuration, and also a privdata pointer. Note that these only
take the CONFIGNAME portion of the config, not the entire MODULENAME.CONFIGNAME.
```
typedef RedisModuleString * (*RedisModuleConfigGetStringFunc)(const char *name, void *privdata);
typedef long long (*RedisModuleConfigGetNumericFunc)(const char *name, void *privdata);
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigGetBoolFunc)(const char *name, void *privdata);
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigGetEnumFunc)(const char *name, void *privdata);
```
Configs must also must specify a set callback, i.e. what to do on a CONFIG SET XYZ 123
or when loading configurations from cli/.conf file matching these typedefs. *name* is
again just the CONFIGNAME portion, *val* is the parsed value from the core,
*privdata* is the registration time privdata pointer, and *err* is for providing errors to a client.
```
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigSetStringFunc)(const char *name, RedisModuleString *val, void *privdata, RedisModuleString **err);
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigSetNumericFunc)(const char *name, long long val, void *privdata, RedisModuleString **err);
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigSetBoolFunc)(const char *name, int val, void *privdata, RedisModuleString **err);
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigSetEnumFunc)(const char *name, int val, void *privdata, RedisModuleString **err);
```
Modules can also specify an optional apply callback that will be called after
value(s) have been set via CONFIG SET:
```
typedef int (*RedisModuleConfigApplyFunc)(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, void *privdata, RedisModuleString **err);
```
**Flags:**
We expose 7 new flags to the module, which are used as part of the config registration.
```
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_MODIFIABLE 0 /* This is the default for a module config. */
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_IMMUTABLE (1ULL<<0) /* Can this value only be set at startup? */
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_SENSITIVE (1ULL<<1) /* Does this value contain sensitive information */
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_HIDDEN (1ULL<<4) /* This config is hidden in `config get <pattern>` (used for tests/debugging) */
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_PROTECTED (1ULL<<5) /* Becomes immutable if enable-protected-configs is enabled. */
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_DENY_LOADING (1ULL<<6) /* This config is forbidden during loading. */
/* Numeric Specific Configs */
#define REDISMODULE_CONFIG_MEMORY (1ULL<<7) /* Indicates if this value can be set as a memory value */
```
**Module Registration APIs**:
```
int (*RedisModule_RegisterBoolConfig)(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, char *name, int default_val, unsigned int flags, RedisModuleConfigGetBoolFunc getfn, RedisModuleConfigSetBoolFunc setfn, RedisModuleConfigApplyFunc applyfn, void *privdata);
int (*RedisModule_RegisterNumericConfig)(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, const char *name, long long default_val, unsigned int flags, long long min, long long max, RedisModuleConfigGetNumericFunc getfn, RedisModuleConfigSetNumericFunc setfn, RedisModuleConfigApplyFunc applyfn, void *privdata);
int (*RedisModule_RegisterStringConfig)(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, const char *name, const char *default_val, unsigned int flags, RedisModuleConfigGetStringFunc getfn, RedisModuleConfigSetStringFunc setfn, RedisModuleConfigApplyFunc applyfn, void *privdata);
int (*RedisModule_RegisterEnumConfig)(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, const char *name, int default_val, unsigned int flags, const char **enum_values, const int *int_values, int num_enum_vals, RedisModuleConfigGetEnumFunc getfn, RedisModuleConfigSetEnumFunc setfn, RedisModuleConfigApplyFunc applyfn, void *privdata);
int (*RedisModule_LoadConfigs)(RedisModuleCtx *ctx);
```
The module name will be auto appended along with a "." to the front of the name of the config.
**What RM_Register[...]Config does**:
A RedisModule struct now keeps a list of ModuleConfig objects which look like:
```
typedef struct ModuleConfig {
sds name; /* Name of config without the module name appended to the front */
void *privdata; /* Optional data passed into the module config callbacks */
union get_fn { /* The get callback specificed by the module */
RedisModuleConfigGetStringFunc get_string;
RedisModuleConfigGetNumericFunc get_numeric;
RedisModuleConfigGetBoolFunc get_bool;
RedisModuleConfigGetEnumFunc get_enum;
} get_fn;
union set_fn { /* The set callback specified by the module */
RedisModuleConfigSetStringFunc set_string;
RedisModuleConfigSetNumericFunc set_numeric;
RedisModuleConfigSetBoolFunc set_bool;
RedisModuleConfigSetEnumFunc set_enum;
} set_fn;
RedisModuleConfigApplyFunc apply_fn;
RedisModule *module;
} ModuleConfig;
```
It also registers a standardConfig in the configs array, with a pointer to the
ModuleConfig object associated with it.
**What happens on a CONFIG GET/SET MODULENAME.MODULECONFIG:**
For CONFIG SET, we do the same parsing as is done in config.c and pass that
as the argument to the module set callback. For CONFIG GET, we call the
module get callback and return that value to config.c to return to a client.
**CONFIG REWRITE**:
Starting up a server with module configurations in a .conf file but no module load
directive will fail. The flip side is also true, specifying a module load and a bunch
of module configurations will load those configurations in using the module defined
set callbacks on a RM_LoadConfigs call. Configs being rewritten works the same
way as it does for standard configs, as the module has the ability to specify a
default value. If a module is unloaded with configurations specified in the .conf file
those configurations will be commented out from the .conf file on the next config rewrite.
**RM_LoadConfigs:**
`RedisModule_LoadConfigs(RedisModuleCtx *ctx);`
This last API is used to make configs available within the onLoad() after they have
been registered. The expected usage is that a module will register all of its configs,
then call LoadConfigs to trigger all of the set callbacks, and then can error out if any
of them were malformed. LoadConfigs will attempt to set all configs registered to
either a .conf file argument/loadex argument or their default value if an argument is
not specified. **LoadConfigs is a required function if configs are registered.
** Also note that LoadConfigs **does not** call the apply callbacks, but a module
can do that directly after the LoadConfigs call.
**New Command: MODULE LOADEX [CONFIG NAME VALUE] [ARGS ...]:**
This command provides the ability to provide startup context information to a module.
LOADEX stands for "load extended" similar to GETEX. Note that provided config
names need the full MODULENAME.MODULECONFIG name. Any additional
arguments a module might want are intended to be specified after ARGS.
Everything after ARGS is passed to onLoad as RedisModuleString **argv.

This implements the following main pieces of functionality:
* Renames key spec "CHANNEL" to be "NOT_KEY", and update the documentation to
indicate it's for cluster routing and not for any other key related purpose.
* Add the getchannels-api, so that modules can now define commands that are subject to
ACL channel permission checks.
* Add 4 new flags that describe how a module interacts with a command (SUBSCRIBE, PUBLISH,
UNSUBSCRIBE, and PATTERN). They are all technically composable, however not sure how a
command could both subscribe and unsubscribe from a command at once, but didn't see
a reason to add explicit validation there.
* Add two new module apis RM_ChannelAtPosWithFlags and RM_IsChannelsPositionRequest to
duplicate the functionality provided by the keys position APIs.
* The RM_ACLCheckChannelPermissions (only released in 7.0 RC1) was changed to take flags
rather than a boolean literal.
* The RM_ACLCheckKeyPermissions (only released in 7.0 RC1) was changed to take flags
corresponding to keyspecs instead of custom permission flags. These keyspec flags mimic
the flags for ACLCheckChannelPermissions.
Adds RM_SetCommandInfo, allowing modules to provide the following command info:
* summary
* complexity
* since
* history
* hints
* arity
* key specs
* args
This information affects the output of `COMMAND`, `COMMAND INFO` and `COMMAND DOCS`,
Cluster, ACL and is used to filter commands with the wrong number of arguments before
the call reaches the module code.
The recently added API functions for key specs (never released) are removed.
A minimalist example would look like so:
```c
RedisModuleCommand *mycmd = RedisModule_GetCommand(ctx,"mymodule.mycommand");
RedisModuleCommandInfo mycmd_info = {
.version = REDISMODULE_COMMAND_INFO_VERSION,
.arity = -5,
.summary = "some description",
};
if (RedisModule_SetCommandInfo(mycmd, &mycmd_info) == REDISMODULE_ERR)
return REDISMODULE_ERR;
````
Notes:
* All the provided information (including strings) is copied, not keeping references to the API input data.
* The version field is actually a static struct that contains the sizes of the the structs used in arrays,
so we can extend these in the future and old version will still be able to take the part they can support.
Modules can now register sockets/pipe to the Redis main thread event loop and do network operations asynchronously. Previously, modules had to maintain an event loop and another thread for asynchronous network operations.
Also, if a module is calling API functions after doing some network operations, it had to synchronize its event loop thread's access with Redis main thread by locking the GIL, causing contention on the lock. After this commit, no synchronization is needed as module can operate in Redis main thread context. So, this commit may improve the performance for some use cases.
Added three functions to the module API:
* RedisModule_EventLoopAdd(int fd, int mask, RedisModuleEventLoopFunc func, void *user_data)
* RedisModule_EventLoopDel(int fd, int mask)
* RedisModule_EventLoopAddOneShot(RedisModuleEventLoopOneShotFunc func, void *user_data) - This function can be called from other threads to trigger callback on Redis main thread. Callback will be triggered only once. If Redis main thread is sleeping, this call will wake up the Redis main thread.
Event loop callbacks are called by Redis main thread after locking the GIL. Inside callbacks, modules can operate as if they are holding the GIL.
Added REDISMODULE_EVENT_EVENTLOOP event with two subevents:
* REDISMODULE_SUBEVENT_EVENTLOOP_BEFORE_SLEEP
* REDISMODULE_SUBEVENT_EVENTLOOP_AFTER_SLEEP
These events are for modules that want to participate in the before and after sleep action. e.g It might be useful to implement batching : Read data from the network, write all to a file in one go on BEFORE_SLEEP event.
Delete the hardcoded command table and replace it with an auto-generated table, based
on a JSON file that describes the commands (each command must have a JSON file).
These JSON files are the SSOT of everything there is to know about Redis commands,
and it is reflected fully in COMMAND INFO.
These JSON files are used to generate commands.c (using a python script), which is then
committed to the repo and compiled.
The purpose is:
* Clients and proxies will be able to get much more info from redis, instead of relying on hard coded logic.
* drop the dependency between Redis-user and the commands.json in redis-doc.
* delete help.h and have redis-cli learn everything it needs to know just by issuing COMMAND (will be
done in a separate PR)
* redis.io should stop using commands.json and learn everything from Redis (ultimately one of the release
artifacts should be a large JSON, containing all the information about all of the commands, which will be
generated from COMMAND's reply)
* the byproduct of this is:
* module commands will be able to provide that info and possibly be more of a first-class citizens
* in theory, one may be able to generate a redis client library for a strictly typed language, by using this info.
### Interface changes
#### COMMAND INFO's reply change (and arg-less COMMAND)
Before this commit the reply at index 7 contained the key-specs list
and reply at index 8 contained the sub-commands list (Both unreleased).
Now, reply at index 7 is a map of:
- summary - short command description
- since - debut version
- group - command group
- complexity - complexity string
- doc-flags - flags used for documentation (e.g. "deprecated")
- deprecated-since - if deprecated, from which version?
- replaced-by - if deprecated, which command replaced it?
- history - a list of (version, what-changed) tuples
- hints - a list of strings, meant to provide hints for clients/proxies. see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9876
- arguments - an array of arguments. each element is a map, with the possibility of nesting (sub-arguments)
- key-specs - an array of keys specs (already in unstable, just changed location)
- subcommands - a list of sub-commands (already in unstable, just changed location)
- reply-schema - will be added in the future (see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9845)
more details on these can be found in https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/pull/1697
only the first three fields are mandatory
#### API changes (unreleased API obviously)
now they take RedisModuleCommand opaque pointer instead of looking up the command by name
- RM_CreateSubcommand
- RM_AddCommandKeySpec
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchIndex
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchKeyword
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysRange
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysKeynum
Currently, we did not add module API to provide additional information about their commands because
we couldn't agree on how the API should look like, see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9944.
### Somehow related changes
1. Literals should be in uppercase while placeholder in lowercase. Now all the GEO* command
will be documented with M|KM|FT|MI and can take both lowercase and uppercase
### Unrelated changes
1. Bugfix: no_madaory_keys was absent in COMMAND's reply
2. expose CMD_MODULE as "module" via COMMAND
3. have a dedicated uint64 for ACL categories (instead of having them in the same uint64 as command flags)
Co-authored-by: Itamar Haber <itamar@garantiadata.com>
This solves several problems in a more elegant way:
* No need to explicitly use `-lc` on x86_64 when building with `-m32`.
* Avoids issues with undefined floating point emulation funcs on ARM.
Let modules use additional type of RESP3 response (unused by redis so far)
Also fix tests that where introduced in #8521 but didn't actually run.

## Intro
The purpose is to allow having different flags/ACL categories for
subcommands (Example: CONFIG GET is ok-loading but CONFIG SET isn't)
We create a small command table for every command that has subcommands
and each subcommand has its own flags, etc. (same as a "regular" command)
This commit also unites the Redis and the Sentinel command tables
## Affected commands
CONFIG
Used to have "admin ok-loading ok-stale no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "ok-loading" in all except GET (this doesn't change behavior since
there were checks in the code doing that)
XINFO
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except CONSUMERS
XGROUP
Used to have "write use-memory"
Changes:
1. Dropped "use-memory" in all except CREATE and CREATECONSUMER
COMMAND
No changes.
MEMORY
Used to have "random read-only"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in PURGE and USAGE
ACL
Used to have "admin no-script ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin" in WHOAMI, GENPASS, and CAT
LATENCY
No changes.
MODULE
No changes.
SLOWLOG
Used to have "admin random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in RESET
OBJECT
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in ENCODING and REFCOUNT
SCRIPT
Used to have "may-replicate no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "may-replicate" in all except FLUSH and LOAD
CLIENT
Used to have "admin no-script random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except INFO and LIST
2. Dropped "admin" in ID, TRACKING, CACHING, GETREDIR, INFO, SETNAME, GETNAME, and REPLY
STRALGO
No changes.
PUBSUB
No changes.
CLUSTER
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin in countkeysinslots, getkeysinslot, info, nodes, keyslot, myid, and slots
SENTINEL
No changes.
(note that DEBUG also fits, but we decided not to convert it since it's for
debugging and anyway undocumented)
## New sub-command
This commit adds another element to the per-command output of COMMAND,
describing the list of subcommands, if any (in the same structure as "regular" commands)
Also, it adds a new subcommand:
```
COMMAND LIST [FILTERBY (MODULE <module-name>|ACLCAT <cat>|PATTERN <pattern>)]
```
which returns a set of all commands (unless filters), but excluding subcommands.
## Module API
A new module API, RM_CreateSubcommand, was added, in order to allow
module writer to define subcommands
## ACL changes:
1. Now, that each subcommand is actually a command, each has its own ACL id.
2. The old mechanism of allowed_subcommands is redundant
(blocking/allowing a subcommand is the same as blocking/allowing a regular command),
but we had to keep it, to support the widespread usage of allowed_subcommands
to block commands with certain args, that aren't subcommands (e.g. "-select +select|0").
3. I have renamed allowed_subcommands to allowed_firstargs to emphasize the difference.
4. Because subcommands are commands in ACL too, you can now use "-" to block subcommands
(e.g. "+client -client|kill"), which wasn't possible in the past.
5. It is also possible to use the allowed_firstargs mechanism with subcommand.
For example: `+config -config|set +config|set|loglevel` will block all CONFIG SET except
for setting the log level.
6. All of the ACL changes above required some amount of refactoring.
## Misc
1. There are two approaches: Either each subcommand has its own function or all
subcommands use the same function, determining what to do according to argv[0].
For now, I took the former approaches only with CONFIG and COMMAND,
while other commands use the latter approach (for smaller blamelog diff).
2. Deleted memoryGetKeys: It is no longer needed because MEMORY USAGE now uses the "range" key spec.
4. Bugfix: GETNAME was missing from CLIENT's help message.
5. Sentinel and Redis now use the same table, with the same function pointer.
Some commands have a different implementation in Sentinel, so we redirect
them (these are ROLE, PUBLISH, and INFO).
6. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (e.g. instead of stats just
for "config" you will have stats for "config|set", "config|get", etc.)
7. It is now possible to use COMMAND directly on subcommands:
COMMAND INFO CONFIG|GET (The pipeline syntax was inspired from ACL, and
can be used in functions lookupCommandBySds and lookupCommandByCString)
8. STRALGO is now a container command (has "help")
## Breaking changes:
1. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (see (5) above)
This commit introduced a new flag to the RM_Call:
'C' - Check if the command can be executed according to the ACLs associated with it.
Also, three new API's added to check if a command, key, or channel can be executed or accessed
by a user, according to the ACLs associated with it.
- RM_ACLCheckCommandPerm
- RM_ACLCheckKeyPerm
- RM_ACLCheckChannelPerm
The user for these API's is a RedisModuleUser object, that for a Module user returned by the RM_CreateModuleUser API, or for a general ACL user can be retrieved by these two new API's:
- RM_GetCurrentUserName - Retrieve the user name of the client connection behind the current context.
- RM_GetModuleUserFromUserName - Get a RedisModuleUser from a user name
As a result of getting a RedisModuleUser from name, it can now also access the general ACL users (not just ones created by the module).
This mean the already existing API RM_SetModuleUserACL(), can be used to change the ACL rules for such users.
Fix#7297
The problem:
Today, there is no way for a client library or app to know the key name indexes for commands such as
ZUNIONSTORE/EVAL and others with "numkeys", since COMMAND INFO returns no useful info for them.
For cluster-aware redis clients, this requires to 'patch' the client library code specifically for each of these commands or to
resolve each execution of these commands with COMMAND GETKEYS.
The solution:
Introducing key specs other than the legacy "range" (first,last,step)
The 8th element of the command info array, if exists, holds an array of key specs. The array may be empty, which indicates
the command doesn't take any key arguments or may contain one or more key-specs, each one may leads to the discovery
of 0 or more key arguments.
A client library that doesn't support this key-spec feature will keep using the first,last,step and movablekeys flag which will
obviously remain unchanged.
A client that supports this key-specs feature needs only to look at the key-specs array. If it finds an unrecognized spec, it
must resort to using COMMAND GETKEYS if it wishes to get all key name arguments, but if all it needs is one key in order
to know which cluster node to use, then maybe another spec (if the command has several) can supply that, and there's no
need to use GETKEYS.
Each spec is an array of arguments, first one is the spec name, the second is an array of flags, and the third is an array
containing details about the spec (specific meaning for each spec type)
The initial flags we support are "read" and "write" indicating if the keys that this key-spec finds are used for read or for write.
clients should ignore any unfamiliar flags.
In order to easily find the positions of keys in a given array of args we introduce keys specs. There are two logical steps of
key specs:
1. `start_search`: Given an array of args, indicate where we should start searching for keys
2. `find_keys`: Given the output of start_search and an array of args, indicate all possible indices of keys.
### start_search step specs
- `index`: specify an argument index explicitly
- `index`: 0 based index (1 means the first command argument)
- `keyword`: specify a string to match in `argv`. We should start searching for keys just after the keyword appears.
- `keyword`: the string to search for
- `start_search`: an index from which to start the keyword search (can be negative, which means to search from the end)
Examples:
- `SET` has start_search of type `index` with value `1`
- `XREAD` has start_search of type `keyword` with value `[“STREAMS”,1]`
- `MIGRATE` has start_search of type `keyword` with value `[“KEYS”,-2]`
### find_keys step specs
- `range`: specify `[count, step, limit]`.
- `lastkey`: index of the last key. relative to the index returned from begin_search. -1 indicating till the last argument, -2 one before the last
- `step`: how many args should we skip after finding a key, in order to find the next one
- `limit`: if count is -1, we use limit to stop the search by a factor. 0 and 1 mean no limit. 2 means ½ of the remaining args, 3 means ⅓, and so on.
- “keynum”: specify `[keynum_index, first_key_index, step]`.
- `keynum_index`: is relative to the return of the `start_search` spec.
- `first_key_index`: is relative to `keynum_index`.
- `step`: how many args should we skip after finding a key, in order to find the next one
Examples:
- `SET` has `range` of `[0,1,0]`
- `MSET` has `range` of `[-1,2,0]`
- `XREAD` has `range` of `[-1,1,2]`
- `ZUNION` has `start_search` of type `index` with value `1` and `find_keys` of type `keynum` with value `[0,1,1]`
- `AI.DAGRUN` has `start_search` of type `keyword` with value `[“LOAD“,1]` and `find_keys` of type `keynum` with value
`[0,1,1]` (see https://oss.redislabs.com/redisai/master/commands/#aidagrun)
Note: this solution is not perfect as the module writers can come up with anything, but at least we will be able to find the key
args of the vast majority of commands.
If one of the above specs can’t describe the key positions, the module writer can always fall back to the `getkeys-api` option.
Some keys cannot be found easily (`KEYS` in `MIGRATE`: Imagine the argument for `AUTH` is the string “KEYS” - we will
start searching in the wrong index).
The guarantee is that the specs may be incomplete (`incomplete` will be specified in the spec to denote that) but we never
report false information (assuming the command syntax is correct).
For `MIGRATE` we start searching from the end - `startfrom=-1` - and if one of the keys is actually called "keys" we will
report only a subset of all keys - hence the `incomplete` flag.
Some `incomplete` specs can be completely empty (i.e. UNKNOWN begin_search) which should tell the client that
COMMAND GETKEYS (or any other way to get the keys) must be used (Example: For `SORT` there is no way to describe
the STORE keyword spec, as the word "store" can appear anywhere in the command).
We will expose these key specs in the `COMMAND` command so that clients can learn, on startup, where the keys are for
all commands instead of holding hardcoded tables or use `COMMAND GETKEYS` in runtime.
Comments:
1. Redis doesn't internally use the new specs, they are only used for COMMAND output.
2. In order to support the current COMMAND INFO format (reply array indices 4, 5, 6) we created a synthetic range, called
legacy_range, that, if possible, is built according to the new specs.
3. Redis currently uses only getkeys_proc or the legacy_range to get the keys indices (in COMMAND GETKEYS for
example).
"incomplete" specs:
the command we have issues with are MIGRATE, STRALGO, and SORT
for MIGRATE, because the token KEYS, if exists, must be the last token, we can search in reverse. it one of the keys is
actually the string "keys" will return just a subset of the keys (hence, it's "incomplete")
for SORT and STRALGO we can use this heuristic (the keys can be anywhere in the command) and therefore we added a
key spec that is both "incomplete" and of "unknown type"
if a client encounters an "incomplete" spec it means that it must find a different way (either COMMAND GETKEYS or have
its own parser) to retrieve the keys.
please note that all commands, apart from the three mentioned above, have "complete" key specs
List functions operating on elements by index:
* RM_ListGet
* RM_ListSet
* RM_ListInsert
* RM_ListDelete
Iteration is done using a simple for loop over indices.
The index based functions use an internal iterator as an optimization.
This is explained in the docs:
```
* Many of the list functions access elements by index. Since a list is in
* essence a doubly-linked list, accessing elements by index is generally an
* O(N) operation. However, if elements are accessed sequentially or with
* indices close together, the functions are optimized to seek the index from
* the previous index, rather than seeking from the ends of the list.
*
* This enables iteration to be done efficiently using a simple for loop:
*
* long n = RM_ValueLength(key);
* for (long i = 0; i < n; i++) {
* RedisModuleString *elem = RedisModule_ListGet(key, i);
* // Do stuff...
* }
```
Previously, passing 0 for newlen would not truncate the string at all.
This adds handling of this case, freeing the old string and creating a new empty string.
Other changes:
- Move `src/modules/testmodule.c` to `tests/modules/basics.c`
- Introduce that basic test into the test suite
- Add tests to cover StringTruncate
- Add `test-modules` build target for the main makefile
- Extend `distclean` build target to clean modules too
Create new module type enhanced callbacks: mem_usage2, free_effort2, unlink2, copy2.
These will be given a context point from which the module can obtain the key name and database id.
In addition the digest and defrag context can now be used to obtain the key name and database id.
The added flag affects the return value of RM_HashSet() to include
the number of inserted fields, in addition to updated and deleted
fields.
errno is set on errors, tests are added and documentation updated.
Without this fix, RM_ZsetRem can leave empty sorted sets which are
not allowed to exist.
Removing from a sorted set while iterating seems to work (while
inserting causes failed assetions). RM_ZsetRangeEndReached is
modified to return 1 if the key doesn't exist, to terminate
iteration when the last element has been removed.
* Add bash temporarily to allow sentinel fd leaks test to run.
* Use vmactions-freebsd rdist sync to work around bind permission denied
and slow execution issues.
* Upgrade to tcl8.6 to be aligned with latest Ubuntu envs.
* Concat all command executions to avoid ignoring failures.
* Skip intensive fuzzer on FreeBSD. For some yet unknown reason, generate_fuzzy_traffic_on_key causes TCL to significantly bloat on FreeBSD resulting with out of memory.

opening the door for properly tracking commands that rely on blocking / background
work via the slowlog, latency history, and commandstats.
Some notes:
- The time spent blocked waiting for key changes, or blocked on synchronous
replication is not accounted for.
- **This commit does not affect latency tracking of commands that are non-blocking
or do not have background work.** ( meaning that it all stays the same with exception to
`BZPOPMIN`,`BZPOPMAX`,`BRPOP`,`BLPOP`, etc... and module's commands that rely
on background threads ).
- Specifically for latency history command we've added a new event class named
`command-unblocking` that will enable latency monitoring on commands that spawn
background threads to do the work.
- For blocking commands we're now considering the total time of a command as the
time spent on call() + the time spent on replying when unblocked.
- For Modules commands that rely on background threads we're now considering the
total time of a command as the time spent on call (main thread) + the time spent on
the background thread ( if marked within `RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart()` and
`RedisModule_MeasureTimeEnd()` ) + the time spent on replying (main thread)
To test for this feature we've added a `unit/moduleapi/blockonbackground` test that relies on
a module that blocks the client and sleeps on the background for a given time.
- check blocked command that uses RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking background time
- check blocked command that uses RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking background time even in timeout
- check blocked command with multiple calls RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking the total background time
- check blocked command without calling RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is not reporting background time
APIs added for these stream operations: add, delete, iterate and
trim (by ID or maxlength). The functions are prefixed by RM_Stream.
* RM_StreamAdd
* RM_StreamDelete
* RM_StreamIteratorStart
* RM_StreamIteratorStop
* RM_StreamIteratorNextID
* RM_StreamIteratorNextField
* RM_StreamIteratorDelete
* RM_StreamTrimByLength
* RM_StreamTrimByID
The type RedisModuleStreamID is added and functions for converting
from and to RedisModuleString.
* RM_CreateStringFromStreamID
* RM_StringToStreamID
Whenever the stream functions return REDISMODULE_ERR, errno is set to
provide additional error information.
Refactoring: The zset iterator fields in the RedisModuleKey struct
are wrapped in a union, to allow the same space to be used for type-
specific info for streams and allow future use for other key types.
* Allow runtest-moduleapi use a different 'make', for systems where GNU Make is 'gmake'.
* Fix issue with builds on Solaris re-building everything from scratch due to CFLAGS/LDFLAGS not stored.
* Fix compile failure on Solaris due to atomicvar and a bunch of warnings.
* Fix garbled log timestamps on Solaris.
Add a new set of defrag functions that take a defrag context and allow
defragmenting memory blocks and RedisModuleStrings.
Modules can register a defrag callback which will be invoked when the
defrag process handles globals.
Modules with custom data types can also register a datatype-specific
defrag callback which is invoked for keys that require defragmentation.
The callback and associated functions support both one-step and
multi-step options, depending on the complexity of the key as exposed by
the free_effort callback.
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)
