On a full sync, replica starts discarding existing db. If the existing db is huge and flush is happening synchronously, replica may become unresponsive. Adding a change to yield back to event loop while flushing db on a replica. Replica will reply -LOADING in this case. Note that while replica is loading the new rdb, it may get an error and start flushing the partial db. This step may take a long time as well. Similarly, replica will reply -LOADING in this case. To call processEventsWhileBlocked() and reply -LOADING, we need to do: - Set connSetReadHandler() null not to process further data from the master - Set server.loading flag - Call blockingOperationStarts() rdbload() already does these steps and calls processEventsWhileBlocked() while loading the rdb. Added a new call rdbLoadWithEmptyFunc() which accepts callback to flush db before loading rdb or when an error happens while loading. For diskless replication, doing something similar and calling emptyData() after setting required flags. Additional changes: - Allow `appendonly` config change during loading. Config can be changed while loading data on startup or on replication when slave is loading RDB. We allow config change command to update `server.aof_enabled` and then lazily apply config change after loading operation is completed. - Added a test for `replica-lazy-flush` config
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_servercontexttagscontext 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 compatible 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 REFCOUNT). |
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 or BGSAVE 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
