The Run ID is a field that identifies a single execution of the Redis server. It can be useful for many purposes as it makes easy to detect if the instance we are talking about is the same, or if it is a different one or was rebooted. An application of run_id will be in the partial synchronization of replication, where a slave may request a partial sync from a given offset only if it is talking with the same master. Another application is in failover and monitoring scripts.
