      BITFIELD command initial implementation. · 70af626d
      antirez authored
      The new bitfield command is an extension to the Redis bit operations,
      where not just single bit operations are performed, but the array of
      bits composing a string, can be addressed at random, not aligned
      offsets, with any width unsigned and signed integers like u8, s5, u10
      (up to 64 bit signed integers and 63 bit unsigned integers).
      
      The BITFIELD command supports subcommands that can SET, GET, or INCRBY
      those arbitrary bit counters, with multiple overflow semantics.
      
      Trivial and credits:
      
      A similar command was imagined a few times in the past, but for
      some reason looked a bit far fetched or not well specified.
      Finally the command was proposed again in a clear form by
      Yoav Steinberg from Redis Labs, that proposed a set of commands on
      arbitrary sized integers stored at bit offsets.
      
      Starting from this proposal I wrote an initial specification of a single
      command with sub-commands similar to what Yoav envisioned, using short
      names for types definitions, and adding control on the overflow.
      
      This commit is the resulting implementation.
      
      Examples:
      
          BITFIELD mykey OVERFLOW wrap INCRBY i2 10 -1 GET i2 10

      New security feature: Redis protected mode. · edd4d555
      antirez authored
      An exposed Redis instance on the internet can be cause of serious
      issues. Since Redis, by default, binds to all the interfaces, it is easy
      to forget an instance without any protection layer, for error.
      
      Protected mode try to address this feature in a soft way, providing a
      layer of protection, but giving clues to Redis users about why the
      server is not accepting connections.
      
      When protected mode is enabeld (the default), and if there are no
      minumum hints about the fact the server is properly configured (no
      "bind" directive is used in order to restrict the server to certain
      interfaces, nor a password is set), clients connecting from external
      intefaces are refused with an error explaining what to do in order to
      fix the issue.
      
      Clients connecting from the IPv4 and IPv6 lookback interfaces are still
      accepted normally, similarly Unix domain socket connections are not
      restricted in any way.

      Hopefully better memory test on crash. · a1c9c05e
      antirez authored
      The old test, designed to do a transformation on the bits that was
      invertible, in order to avoid touching the original memory content, was
      not effective as it was redis-server --test-memory. The former often
      reported OK while the latter was able to spot the error.
      
      So the test was substituted with one that may perform better, however
      the new one must backup the memory tested, so it tests memory in small
      pieces. This limits the effectiveness because of the CPU caches. However
      some attempt is made in order to trash the CPU cache between the fill
      and the check stages, but not for the addressing test unfortunately.
      
      We'll see if this test will be able to find errors where the old failed.

      CLIENT REPLY command implemented: ON, OFF and SKIP modes. · 86f0a2ee
      antirez authored
      Sometimes it can be useful for clients to completely disable replies
      from the Redis server. For example when the client sends fire and forget
      commands or performs a mass loading of data, or in caching contexts
      where new data is streamed constantly. In such contexts to use server
      time and bandwidth in order to send back replies to clients, which are
      going to be ignored, is a shame.
      
      Multiple mechanisms are possible to implement such a feature. For
      example it could be a feature of MULTI/EXEC, or a command prefix
      such as "NOREPLY SADD myset foo", or a different mechanism that allows
      to switch on/off requests using the CLIENT command.
      
      The MULTI/EXEC approach has the problem that transactions are not
      strictly part of the no-reply semantics, and if we want to insert a lot
      of data in a bulk way, creating a huge MULTI/EXEC transaction in the
      server memory is bad.
      
      The prefix is the best in this specific use case since it does not allow
      desynchronizations, and is pretty clear semantically. However Redis
      internals and client libraries are not prepared to handle this
      currently.
      
      So the implementation uses the CLIENT command, providing a new REPLY
      subcommand with three options:
      
          CLIENT REPLY OFF disables the replies, and does not reply itself.
          CLIENT REPLY ON re-enables the replies, replying +OK.
          CLIENT REPLY SKIP only discards the reply of the next command, and
                            like OFF does not reply anything itself.
      
      The reason to add the SKIP command is that it allows to have an easy
      way to send conceptually "single" commands that don't need a reply
      as the sum of two pipelined commands:
      
          CLIENT REPLY SKIP
          SET key value
      
      Note that CLIENT REPLY ON replies with +OK so it should be used when
      sending multiple commands that don't need a reply. However since it
      replies with +OK the client can check that the connection is still
      active and all the previous commands were received.
      
      This is currently just into Redis "unstable" so the proposal can be
      modified or abandoned based on users inputs.

      Server: restartServer() API. · 73427462
      antirez authored
      This new function is able to restart the server "in place". The current
      Redis process executes the same executable it was executed with, using
      the same arguments and configuration file.
