Considerations for the selected imp of HRANDFIELD & HFE feature: HRANDFIELD might access any of the fields in the hash as some of them might be expired. And so the Implementation of HRANDFIELD along with HFEs might be one of the two options: 1. Expire hash-fields before diving into handling HRANDFIELD. 2. Refine HRANDFIELD cases to deal with expired fields. Regarding the first option, as reference, the command RANDOMKEY also declareson O(1) complexity, yet might be stuck on a very long (but not infinite) loop trying to find non-expired keys. Furthermore RANDOMKEY also evicts expired keys along the way even though it is categorized as a read-only command. Note that the case of HRANDFIELD is more lightweight versus RANDOMKEY since HFEs have much more effective and aggressive active-expiration for fields behind. The second option introduces additional implementation complexity to HRANDFIELD. We could further refine HRANDFIELD cases to differentiate between scenarios with many expired fields versus few expired fields, and adjust based on the percentage of expired fields. However, this approach could still lead to long loops or necessitate expiring fields before selecting them. For the “lightweight” cases it is also expected to have a lightweight expiration. Considering the pros and cons, and the fact that HRANDFIELD is an infrequent command (particularly with HFEs) and the fact we have effective active-expiration behind for hash-fields, it is better to keep it simple and choose option number 1. Other changes: * Don't mark command dirty by internal hashTypeExpire(). It causes to read only command of HRANDFIELD to be accidently propagated (This flag should be indicated at higher level, by the command functions). * Align `hashTypeExpireIfNeeded()` and `hashTypeGetValue()` to be more aligned with `expireIfNeeded()` logic of keyspace.
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
