Clients using SYNC to replicate are older implementations, such as
redis-cli --slave, and are not designed to acknowledge the master with
REPLCONF ACK commands, so we don't have any feedback and should not
disconnect them on timeout.

This commit uses the Replication Script Cache in order to avoid
translating EVALSHA into EVAL whenever possible for both the AOF and
slaves.

This code is only responsible to take an LRU-evicted fixed length cache
of SHA1 that we are sure all the slaves received.

In this commit only the implementation is provided, but the Redis core
does not use it to actually send EVALSHA to slaves when possible.

The old REDIS_CMD_FORCE_REPLICATION flag was removed from the
implementation of Redis, now there is a new API to force specific
executions of a command to be propagated to AOF / Replication link:

    void forceCommandPropagation(int flags);

The new API is also compatible with Lua scripting, so a script that will
execute commands that are forced to be propagated, will also be
propagated itself accordingly even if no change to data is operated.

As a side effect, this new design fixes the issue with scripts not able
to propagate PUBLISH to slaves (issue #873).

Currently it implements three subcommands:

PUBSUB CHANNELS [<pattern>]    List channels with non-zero subscribers.
PUBSUB NUMSUB [channel_1 ...]  List number of subscribers for channels.
PUBSUB NUMPAT                  Return number of subscribed patterns.

This feature allows the user to specify the minimum number of
connected replicas having a lag less or equal than the specified
amount of seconds for writes to be accepted.

This special command is used by the slave to inform the master the
amount of replication stream it currently consumed.

it does not return anything so that we not need to consume additional
bandwidth needed by the master to reply something.

The master can do a number of things knowing the amount of stream
processed, such as understanding the "lag" in bytes of the slave, verify
if a given command was already processed by the slave, and so forth.

Also the logfile option was modified to always have an explicit value
and to log to stdout when an empty string is used as log file.

Previously there was special handling of the string "stdout" that set
the logfile to NULL, this always required some special handling.

This prevents the kernel from putting too much stuff in the output
buffers, doing too heavy I/O all at once. So the goal of this commit is
to split the disk pressure due to the AOF rewrite process into smaller
spikes.

Please see issue #1019 for more information.

When a BGSAVE fails, Redis used to flood itself trying to BGSAVE at
every next cron call, that is either 10 or 100 times per second
depending on configuration and server version.

This commit does not allow a new automatic BGSAVE attempt to be
performed before a few seconds delay (currently 5).

This avoids both the auto-flood problem and filling the disk with
logs at a serious rate.

The five seconds limit, considering a log entry of 200 bytes, will use
less than 4 MB of disk space per day that is reasonable, the sysadmin
should notice before of catastrofic events especially since by default
Redis will stop serving write queries after the first failed BGSAVE.

This fixes issue #849

We need the ability to disable the activeExpireCycle() (active
expired key collection) call for testing purposes.

This is the first step to lower the CPU usage when many databases are
configured. The other is to also process a limited number of DBs per
call in the active expire cycle.

A new server.orig_commands table was added to the server structure, this
contains a copy of the commant table unaffected by rename-command
statements in redis.conf.

A new API lookupCommandOrOriginal() was added that checks both tables,
new first, old later, so that rewriteClientCommandVector() and friends
can lookup commands with their new or original name in order to fix the
client->cmd pointer when the argument vector is renamed.

This fixes the segfault of issue #986, but does not fix a wider range of
problems resulting from renaming commands that actually operate on data
and are registered into the AOF file or propagated to slaves... That is
command renaming should be handled with care.

This commit also fixes redisLog() statements producing warnings.

This commit allows Redis to set a process name that includes the binding
address and the port number in order to make operations simpler.

Redis children processes doing AOF rewrites or RDB saving change the
name into redis-aof-rewrite and redis-rdb-bgsave respectively.

This in general makes harder to kill the wrong process because of an
error and makes simpler to identify saving children.

This feature was suggested by Arnaud GRANAL in the Redis Google Group,
Arnaud also pointed me to the setproctitle.c implementation includeed in
this commit.

This feature should work on all the Linux, OSX, and all the three major
BSD systems.

A Redis master sends PING commands to slaves from time to time: doing
this ensures that even if absence of writes, the master->slave channel
remains active and the slave can feel the master presence, instead of
closing the connection for timeout.

This commit changes the way PINGs are sent to slaves in order to use the
standard interface used to replicate all the other commands, that is,
the function replicationFeedSlaves().

With this change the stream of commands sent to every slave is exactly
the same regardless of their exact state (Transferring RDB for first
synchronization or slave already online). With the previous
implementation the PING was only sent to online slaves, with the result
that the output stream from master to slaves was not identical for all
the slaves: this is a problem if we want to implement partial resyncs in
the future using a global replication stream offset.

TL;DR: this commit should not change the behaviour in practical terms,
but is just something in preparation for partial resynchronization
support.

Before this commit every Redis slave had its own selected database ID
state. This was not actually useful as the emitted stream of commands
is identical for all the slaves.

Now the the currently selected database is a global state that is set to
-1 when a new slave is attached, in order to force the SELECT command to
be re-emitted for all the slaves.

This change is useful in order to implement replication partial
resynchronization in the future, as makes sure that the stream of
commands received by slaves, including SELECT commands, are exactly the
same for every slave connected, at any time.

In this way we could have a global offset that can identify a specific
piece of the master -> slaves stream of commands.

Further details from @antirez:

It was reported by @StopForumSpam on Twitter that the Redis replication
link was strangely using multiple TCP packets for multiple commands.
This wastes a lot of bandwidth and is due to the TCP_NODELAY option we
enable on the socket after accepting a new connection.

However the master -> slave channel is a one-way channel since Redis
replication is asynchronous, so there is no point in trying to reduce
the latency, we should aim to reduce the bandwidth. For this reason this
commit introduces the ability to disable the nagle algorithm on the
socket after a successful SYNC.

This feature is off by default because the delay can be up to 40
milliseconds with normally configured Linux kernels.

When keyspace events are enabled, the overhead is not sever but
noticeable, so this commit introduces the ability to select subclasses
of events in order to avoid to generate events the user is not
interested in.

The events can be selected using redis.conf or CONFIG SET / GET.

decrRefCount used to get its argument as a void* pointer in order to be
used as destructor where a 'void free_object(void*)' prototype is
expected. However this made simpler to introduce bugs by freeing the
wrong pointer. This commit fixes the argument type and introduces a new
wrapper called decrRefCountVoid() that can be used when the void*
argument is needed.

Conflicts fixed, mainly because 2.8 has no cluster support / files:
	00-RELEASENOTES
	src/cluster.c
	src/crc16.c
	src/redis-trib.rb
	src/redis.h

Sometimes it is much simpler to debug complex Redis installations if it
is possible to assign clients a name that is displayed in the CLIENT
LIST output.

This is the case, for example, for "leaked" connections. The ability to
provide a name to the client makes it quite trivial to understand what
is the part of the code implementing the client not releasing the
resources appropriately.

Behavior:

    CLIENT SETNAME: set a name for the client, or remove the current
                    name if an empty name is set.
    CLIENT GETNAME: get the current name, or a nil.
    CLIENT LIST: now displays the client name if any.

Thanks to Mark Gravell for pushing this idea forward.

REDIS_HZ is the frequency our serverCron() function is called with.
A more frequent call to this function results into less latency when the
server is trying to handle very expansive background operations like
mass expires of a lot of keys at the same time.

Redis 2.4 used to have an HZ of 10. This was good enough with almost
every setup, but the incremental key expiration algorithm was working a
bit better under *extreme* pressure when HZ was set to 100 for Redis
2.6.

However for most users a latency spike of 30 milliseconds when million
of keys are expiring at the same time is acceptable, on the other hand a
default HZ of 100 in Redis 2.6 was causing idle instances to use some
CPU time compared to Redis 2.4. The CPU usage was in the order of 0.3%
for an idle instance, however this is a shame as more energy is consumed
by the server, if not important resources.

This commit introduces HZ as a runtime parameter, that can be queried by
INFO or CONFIG GET, and can be modified with CONFIG SET. At the same
time the default frequency is set back to 10.

In this way we default to a sane value of 10, but allows users to
easily switch to values up to 500 for near real-time applications if
needed and if they are willing to pay this small CPU usage penalty.

To store the keys we block for during a blocking pop operation, in the
case the client is blocked for more data to arrive, we used a simple
linear array of redis objects, in the blockingState structure:

    robj **keys;
    int count;

However in order to fix issue #801 we also use a dictionary in order to
avoid to end in the blocked clients queue for the same key multiple
times with the same client.

The dictionary was only temporary, just to avoid duplicates, but since
we create / destroy it there is no point in doing this duplicated work,
so this commit simply use a dictionary as the main structure to store
the keys we are blocked for. So instead of the previous fields we now
just have:

    dict *keys;

This simplifies the code and reduces the work done by the server during
a blocking POP operation.
