      Remove EVAL script verbatim replication, propagation, and deterministic execution logic (#9812) · 1b0968df
      zhugezy authored
      
      
      # Background
      
      The main goal of this PR is to remove relevant logics on Lua script verbatim replication,
      only keeping effects replication logic, which has been set as default since Redis 5.0.
      As a result, Lua in Redis 7.0 would be acting the same as Redis 6.0 with default
      configuration from users' point of view.
      
      There are lots of reasons to remove verbatim replication.
      Antirez has listed some of the benefits in Issue #5292:
      
      >1. No longer need to explain to users side effects into scripts.
          They can do whatever they want.
      >2. No need for a cache about scripts that we sent or not to the slaves.
      >3. No need to sort the output of certain commands inside scripts
          (SMEMBERS and others): this both simplifies and gains speed.
      >4. No need to store scripts inside the RDB file in order to startup correctly.
      >5. No problems about evicting keys during the script execution.
      
      When looking back at Redis 5.0, antirez and core team decided to set the config
      `lua-replicate-commands yes` by default instead of removing verbatim replication
      directly, in case some bad situations happened. 3 years later now before Redis 7.0,
      it's time to remove it formally.
      
      # Changes
      
      - configuration for lua-replicate-commands removed
        - created config file stub for backward compatibility
      - Replication script cache removed
        - this is useless under script effects replication
        - relevant statistics also removed
      - script persistence in RDB files is also removed
      - Propagation of SCRIPT LOAD and SCRIPT FLUSH to replica / AOF removed
      - Deterministic execution logic in scripts removed (i.e. don't run write commands
        after random ones, and sorting output of commands with random order)
        - the flags indicating which commands have non-deterministic results are kept as hints to clients.
      - `redis.replicate_commands()` & `redis.set_repl()` changed
        - now `redis.replicate_commands()` does nothing and return an 1
        - ...and then `redis.set_repl()` can be issued before `redis.replicate_commands()` now
      - Relevant TCL cases adjusted
      - DEBUG lua-always-replicate-commands removed
      
      # Other changes
      - Fix a recent bug comparing CLIENT_ID_AOF to original_client->flags instead of id. (introduced in #9780)

      Auto-generate the command table from JSON files (#9656) · 86781600
      guybe7 authored
      Delete the hardcoded command table and replace it with an auto-generated table, based
      on a JSON file that describes the commands (each command must have a JSON file).
      
      These JSON files are the SSOT of everything there is to know about Redis commands,
      and it is reflected fully in COMMAND INFO.
      
      These JSON files are used to generate commands.c (using a python script), which is then
      committed to the repo and compiled.
      
      The purpose is:
      * Clients and proxies will be able to get much more info from redis, instead of relying on hard coded logic.
      * drop the dependency between Redis-user and the commands.json in redis-doc.
      * delete help.h and have redis-cli learn everything it needs to know just by issuing COMMAND (will be
        done in a separate PR)
      * redis.io should stop using commands.json and learn everything from Redis (ultimately one of the release
        artifacts should be a large JSON, containing all the information about all of the commands, which will be
        generated from COMMAND's reply)
      * the byproduct of this is:
        * module commands will be able to provide that info and possibly be more of a first-class citizens
        * in theory, one may be able to generate a redis client library for a strictly typed language, by using this info.
      
      ### Interface changes
      
      #### COMMAND INFO's reply change (and arg-less COMMAND)
      
      Before this commit the reply at index 7 contained the key-specs list
      and reply at index 8 contained the sub-commands list (Both unreleased).
      Now, reply at index 7 is a map of:
      - summary - short command description
      - since - debut version
      - group - command group
      - complexity - complexity string
      - doc-flags - flags used for documentation (e.g. "deprecated")
      - deprecated-since - if deprecated, from which version?
      - replaced-by - if deprecated, which command replaced it?
      - history - a list of (version, what-changed) tuples
      - hints - a list of strings, meant to provide hints for clients/proxies. see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9876
      - arguments - an array of arguments. each element is a map, with the possibility of nesting (sub-arguments)
      - key-specs - an array of keys specs (already in unstable, just changed location)
      - subcommands - a list of sub-commands (already in unstable, just changed location)
      - reply-schema - will be added in the future (see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9845)
      
      more details on these can be found in https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/pull/1697
      
      only the first three fields are mandatory 
      
      #### API changes (unreleased API obviously)
      
      now they take RedisModuleCommand opaque pointer instead of looking up the command by name
      
      - RM_CreateSubcommand
      - RM_AddCommandKeySpec
      - RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchIndex
      - RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchKeyword
      - RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysRange
      - RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysKeynum
      
      Currently, we did not add module API to provide additional information about their commands because
      we couldn't agree on how the API should look like, see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9944
      
      .
      
      ### Somehow related changes
      1. Literals should be in uppercase while placeholder in lowercase. Now all the GEO* command
         will be documented with M|KM|FT|MI and can take both lowercase and uppercase
      
      ### Unrelated changes
      1. Bugfix: no_madaory_keys was absent in COMMAND's reply
      2. expose CMD_MODULE as "module" via COMMAND
      3. have a dedicated uint64 for ACL categories (instead of having them in the same uint64 as command flags)
