The function `tryResizeHashTables` only attempts to shrink the dicts that has keys (change from #11695), this was a serious problem until the change in #12850 since it meant if all keys are deleted, we won't shrink the dick. But still, both dictShrink and dictExpand may be blocked by a fork child process, therefore, the cron job needs to perform both dictShrink and dictExpand, for not just non-empty dicts, but all dicts in DBs. What this PR does: 1. Try to resize all dicts in DBs (not just non-empty ones, as it was since #12850) 2. handle both shrink and expand (not just shrink, as it was since forever) 3. Refactor some APIs about dict resizing (get rid of `htNeedsShrink` `htNeedsShrink` `dictShrinkToFit`, and expose `dictShrinkIfNeeded` `dictExpandIfNeeded` which already contains all the code of those functions we get rid of, to make APIs more neat) 4. In the `Don't rehash if redis has child process` test, now that cron would do resizing, we no longer need to write to DB after the child process got killed, and can wait for the cron to expand the hash table.
Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server
instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host
and --port
parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip
are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
Option | Impact |
---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_server
contexttags
context that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
Tag | Indicates |
---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode . |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not compatible with --tls . |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT REFCOUNT ). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE or BGSAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host
and --port
), filtering using the
external:skip
tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode
, filtering using the cluster:skip
tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory
, filtering using the largemem:skip
tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC
use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
