      Make INFO command variadic (#6891) · 2e1bc942
      Wen Hui authored
      
      
      This is an enhancement for INFO command, previously INFO only support one argument
      for different info section , if user want to get more categories information, either perform
      INFO all / default or calling INFO for multiple times.
      
      **Description of the feature**
      
      The goal of adding this feature is to let the user retrieve multiple categories via the INFO
      command, and still avoid emitting the same section twice.
      
      A use case for this is like Redis Sentinel, which periodically calling INFO command to refresh
      info from monitored Master/Slaves, only Server and Replication part categories are used for
      parsing information. If the INFO command can return just enough categories that client side
      needs, it can save a lot of time for client side parsing it as well as network bandwidth.
      
      **Implementation**
      To share code between redis, sentinel, and other users of INFO (DEBUG and modules),
      we have a new `genInfoSectionDict` function that returns a dict and some boolean flags
      (e.g. `all`) to the caller (built from user input).
      Sentinel is later purging unwanted sections from that, and then it is forwarded to the info `genRedisInfoString`.
      
      **Usage Examples**
      INFO Server Replication   
      INFO CPU Memory
      INFO default commandstats

      Add command tips to COMMAND DOCS (#10104) · 10bbeb68
      guybe7 authored
      Adding command tips (see https://redis.io/topics/command-tips) to commands.
      
      Breaking changes:
      1. Removed the "random" and "sort_for_script" flags. They are now command tips.
      (this isn't affecting redis behavior since #9812, but could affect some client applications
      that's relying on COMMAND command flags)
      
      Summary of changes:
      1. add BLOCKING flag (new flag) for all commands that could block. The ACL category with
        the same name is now implicit.
      2. move RANDOM flag to a `nondeterministic_output` tip
      3. move SORT_FOR_SCRIPT flag to `nondeterministic_output_order` tip
      3. add REQUEST_POLICY and RESPONSE_POLICY where appropriate as documented in the tips
      4. deprecate (ignore) the `random` flag for RM_CreateCommand
      
      Other notes:
      1. Proxies need to send `RANDOMKEY` to all shards and then select one key randomly.
        The other option is to pick a random shard and transfer `RANDOMKEY `to it, but that scheme
        fails if this specific shard is empty
      2. Remove CMD_RANDOM from `XACK` (i.e. XACK does not have RANDOM_OUTPUT)
         It was added in 9e4fb96c, I guess by mistake.
         Also from `(P)EXPIRETIME` (new command, was flagged "random" by mistake).
      3. Add `nondeterministic_output` to `OBJECT ENCODING` (for the same reason `XTRIM` has it:
         the reply may differ depending on the internal representation in memory)
      4. RANDOM on `HGETALL` was wrong (there due to a limitation of the old script sorting logic), now
        it's `nondeterministic_output_order`
      5. Unrelated: Hide CMD_PROTECTED from COMMAND

      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)
