Redis TODO and Roadmap
----------------------
Redis TODO
----------
VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
============================================
* Support for syslog(3).
* Change the implementation of ZCOUNT to use the augmented skiplist in order to be much faster.
* Add an explicit test for MULTI/EXEC reloaded in the AOF.
* Command table -> hash table, with support for command renaming
WARNING: are you a possible Redis contributor?
Before implementing what is listed what is listed in this file
please drop a message in the Redis google group or chat with
antirez or pietern on irc.freenode.org #redis to check if the work
is already in progress and if the feature is still interesting for
us, and *how* exactly this can be implemented to have good changes
of a merge. Otherwise it is probably wasted work! Thank you
VM TODO
=======
* Use multiple open FDs against the VM file, one for thread.
* Check what happens performance-wise if instead of creating threads again and again the same threads are reused forever. Note: this requires a way to disable this clients in the child, but waiting for empty new jobs queue can be enough.
* mmap the swap file.
* Use just a single IO Job to swap out a key, and add a mutex so that pages in the page table can be marked as used and scanned from the thread itself.
STRING COMMANDS
===============
REPLICATION
===========
* Implement STRLEN, PEEK, POKE, SETBIT, GETBIT
* PING between master and slave from time to time, so we can subject the
master-slave link to timeout, and detect when the connection is gone even
if the socket is still up.
OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL BE ADDED BUT I'M NOT SURE WHEN
===============================================================
BIG ONES:
* BRPOPLPUSH
* Specially encoded memory-saving integer sets.
* A command to export a JSON dump (there should be mostly working patch needing major reworking).
* Specially encoded sets of integers (this includes a big refactoring providing an higher level layer for Sets manipulation)
SMALL ONES:
* If sizeof(double) == sizeof(void*) we could store the double value of sorted sets directly in place of the pointer instead of allocating it in the heap.
* Delete on writes against expire policy should only happen after argument parsing for commands doing their own arg parsing stuff.
* Give errors when incrementing a key that does not look like an integer, when providing as a sorted set score something can't be parsed as a double, and so forth.
* MSADD (n keys) (n values). See this thread in the Redis google group: http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/browse_thread/thread/e766d84eb375cd41
* Don't save empty lists / sets / zsets on disk with snapshotting.
* Remove keys when a list / set / zset reaches length of 0.
* An option to exec a command slave-side if the master connection is lost: even cooler: if the script returns "0" the slave elects itself as master, otherwise continue trying to reconnect.
* PING the master from time to time to check if it's gone.
THE "MAYBE" TODO LIST: things that may or may not get implemented
=================================================================
Most of this can be seen just as proposals, the fact they are in this list
it's not a guarantee they'll ever get implemented ;)
OPTIMIZATIONS
=============
* SORT: Don't copy the list into a vector when BY argument is constant.
* Write the hash table size of every db in the dump, so that Redis can resize the hash table just one time when loading a big DB.
* Byte Array type (BA prefixed commands): BASETBIT BAGETBIT BASETU8 U16 U32 U64 S8 S16 S32 S64, ability to atomically INCRBY all the base types. BARANGE to get a range of bytes as a bulk value, BASETRANGE to set a range of bytes.
* Read-only mode.
* Kill the delete-on-write behavior of expires, replicating DELs
* Multiple BY in SORT.
* Read-only mode for slaves.
KNOWN BUGS
==========
* LRANGE and other commands are using 32 bit integers for ranges, and overflows are not detected. So LRANGE mylist 0 23498204823094823904823904 will have random effects.
* What happens in the following scenario:
1) We are reading an AOF file.
2) SETEX FOO 5 BAR
3) APPEND FOO ZAP
What happens if between 1 and 2 for some reason (system under huge load
or alike) too many time passes? We should prevent expires while the
AOF is loading.
REDIS CLI TODO
==============
* Computer parsable output generation
* Memoize return values so that they can be used later as arguments, like $1
