Use the COMMAND output to fill with partial information the built-in
help. This makes redis-cli able to at least complete commands that are
exported by the Redis server it is connected to, but were not available
in the help.h file when the redis-cli binary was compiled.
Previously it was possible to activate a debugging session only using
the --ldb option in redis-cli. Now calling SCRIPT DEBUG can also
activate the debugging mode without putting the redis-cli in a
desynchronized state.
Related to #2952.
There are some cases of printing unsigned integer with %d conversion
specificator and vice versa (signed integer with %u specificator).
Patch by Sergey Polovko. Backported to Redis from Disque.
Redis-cli handles the debugger "eval" command in a special way since
sdssplitargs() would not be ok: we need to send the Redis debugger the
whole Lua script without any parsing. However in order to later free the
argument vector inside redis-cli using just sdsfreesplitres(), we need
to allocate the array of SDS pointers using the same allocator SDS is
using, that may differ to what Redis is using.
So now a newer version of SDS exports sds_malloc() and other allocator
functions to give access, to the program it is linked to, the allocator
used internally by SDS.
When the debugger exits now it produces an <endsession> tag that informs
redis-cli (or other debugging clients) that the session terminated.
This way the client knows there is yet another reply to read (the one of
the EVAL script itself), and can switch to non-debugging mode ASAP.
The code was broken and resulted in redis-cli --pipe to, most of the
times, writing everything received in the standard input to the Redis
connection socket without ever reading back the replies, until all the
content to write was written.
This means that Redis had to accumulate all the output in the output
buffers of the client, consuming a lot of memory.
Fixed thanks to the original report of anomalies in the behavior
provided by Twitter user @fsaintjacques.
The command reports information about the hash table internal state
representing the specified database ID.
This can be used in order to investigate rehashings, memory usage issues
and for other debugging purposes.
Less grays: more readable palette since usually we have a non linear
distribution of percentages and very near gray tones are hard to take
apart. Final part of the palette is gradient from yellow to red. The red
part is hardly reached because of usual distribution of latencies, but
shows up mainly when latencies are very high because of the logarithmic
scale, this is coherent to what people expect: red = bad.
--stat mode already used to reconnect automatically if the server is no
longer available. This is useful since this is an interactive mode used
for debugging, however the same applies to --latency and --latency-dist
modes, so now both use the reconnecting command execution as well.
The reconnection code was modified to use basic VT100 escape sequences
in order to play better with different kinds of output on the screen
when the reconnection happens, and to hide the reconnection attempt
output when finally the reconnection happens.
So far not able to find a color palette within the 256 colors which is
not confusing. However I believe it is a possible task, so will try
better later.
