Make clear that contributing code to the Redis project means to release it under the terms of the BSD license.

After the wait3() syscall we used to do something like that:

    if (pid == server.rdb_child_pid) {
        backgroundSaveDoneHandler(exitcode,bysignal);
    } else {
        ....
    }

So the AOF rewrite was handled in the else branch without actually
checking if the pid really matches. This commit makes the check explicit
and logs at WARNING level if the pid returned by wait3() does not match
neither the RDB or AOF rewrite child.

fix typo in comments (redis.c, networking.c)

This also fixes issue #745.

It failed because of the way jemalloc was compiled (without passing the
right flags to make, but just to configure). Now the same set of flags
are also passed to the make command, fixing the issue.

This fixes issue #744

Because of the short circuit behavior of && inverting the two sides of
the if expression avoids an hash table lookup if the non-EX variant of
SET is called.

Thanks to Weibin Yao (@yaoweibin on github) for spotting this.

This fixes issue #667.

Many thanks to Didier Spezia for the fix.

This was an important information missing from the INFO output in the
replication section.

It obviously reflects if the slave is read only or not.

(Commit message from @antirez as it was missign in the original commits,
also the patch was modified a bit to still work with 2.4 dumps and to
avoid if expressions that are always true due to checked types range)

This commit changes redis-check-dump to account for new encodings and
for the new MSTIME expire format. It also refactors the test for valid
type into a function.

The code is still compatible with Redis 2.4 generated dumps.

This fixes issue #709.

In some system, notably osx, the 3.5 GB limit was too far and not able
to prevent a crash for out of memory. The 3 GB limit works better and it
is still a lot of memory within a 4 GB theorical limit so it's not going
to bore anyone :-)

This fixes issue #711

When calling SCRIPT KILL currently you can get two errors:

* No script in timeout (busy) state.
* The script already performed a write.

It is useful to be able to distinguish the two errors, but right now both
start with "ERR" prefix, so string matching (that is fragile) must be used.

This commit introduces two different prefixes.

-NOTBUSY and -UNKILLABLE respectively to reply with an error when no
script is busy at the moment, and when the script already executed a
write operation and can not be killed.

The code of current implementation:

if (c->pending == 0) clientDone(c);
In clientDone function, the c's memory has been freed, then the loop will continue: while(c->pending). The memory of c has been freed now, so c->pending is invalid (c is an invalid pointer now), and this will cause memory dump in some platforams(eg: Solaris).

So I think the code should be modified as:
if (c->pending == 0)
{
clientDone(c);
break;
}
and this will not lead to while(c->pending).

Before of this commit it used to be like this:

MULTI
EXEC
... actual commands of the transaction ...

Because after all that is the natural order of things. Transaction
commands are queued and executed *only after* EXEC is called.

However this makes debugging with MONITOR a mess, so the code was
modified to provide a coherent output.

What happens is that MULTI is rendered in the MONITOR output as far as
possible, instead EXEC is propagated only after the transaction is
executed, or even in the case it fails because of WATCH, so in this case
you'll simply see:

MULTI
EXEC

An empty transaction.

If the server is password protected we need to accept AUTH when there is
a server busy (-BUSY) condition, otherwise it will be impossible to send
SHUTDOWN NOSAVE or SCRIPT KILL.

This fixes issue #708.

fixed install script to rewrite the default config

The previously used hash function, djbhash, is not secure against
collision attacks even when the seed is randomized as there are simple
ways to find seed-independent collisions.

The new hash function appears to be safe (or much harder to exploit at
least) in this case, and has better distribution.

Better distribution does not always means that's better. For instance in
a fast benchmark with "DEBUG POPULATE 1000000" I obtained the following
results:

    1.6 seconds with djbhash
    2.0 seconds with murmurhash2

This is due to the fact that djbhash will hash objects that follow the
pattern `prefix:<id>` and where the id is numerically near, to near
buckets. This improves the locality.

However in other access patterns with keys that have no relation
murmurhash2 has some (apparently minimal) speed advantage.

On the other hand a better distribution should significantly
improve the quality of the distribution of elements returned with
dictGetRandomKey() that is used in SPOP, SRANDMEMBER, RANDOMKEY, and
other commands.

Everything considered, and under the suspect that this commit fixes a
security issue in Redis, we are switching to the new hash function.
If some serious speed regression will be found in the future we'll be able
to step back easiliy.

This commit fixes issue #663.

This commit warns the user with a log at "warning" level if:

1) After the server startup the maxmemory limit was found to be < 1MB.
2) After a CONFIG SET command modifying the maxmemory setting the limit
is set to a value that is smaller than the currently used memory.

The behaviour of the Redis server is unmodified, and this wil not make
the CONFIG SET command or a wrong configuration in redis.conf less
likely to create problems, but at least this will make aware most users
about a possbile error they committed without resorting to external
help.

However no warning is issued if, as a result of loading the AOF or RDB
file, we are very near the maxmemory setting, or key eviction will be
needed in order to go under the specified maxmemory setting. The reason
is that in servers configured as a cache with an aggressive
maxmemory-policy most of the times restarting the server will cause this
condition to happen if persistence is not switched off.

This fixes issue #429.

When system time changes back, the timer will not worker properly
hence some core functionality of redis will stop working(e.g. replication,
bgsave, etc). See issue #633 for details.

The patch saves the previous time and when a system clock skew is detected,
it will force expire all timers.

Modiifed by @antirez: the previous time was moved into the eventLoop
structure to make sure the library is still thread safe as long as you
use different event loops into different threads (otherwise you need
some synchronization). More comments added about the reasoning at the
base of the patch, that's worth reporting here:

/* If the system clock is moved to the future, and then set back to the
 * right value, time events may be delayed in a random way. Often this
 * means that scheduled operations will not be performed soon enough.
 *
 * Here we try to detect system clock skews, and force all the time
 * events to be processed ASAP when this happens: the idea is that
 * processing events earlier is less dangerous than delaying them
 * indefinitely, and practice suggests it is. */

The new message now contains an hint about modifying the repl-timeout
configuration directive if the problem persists.

This should normally not be needed, because while the master generates
the RDB file it makes sure to send newlines to the replication channel
to prevent timeouts. However there are times when masters running on
very slow systems can completely stop for seconds during the RDB saving
process. In such a case enlarging the timeout value can fix the problem.

See issue #695 for an example of this problem in an EC2 deployment.

When SORT is called with the option BY set to a string constant not
inclduing the wildcard character "*", there is no way to sort the output
so any ordering is valid. This allows the SORT internals to optimize its
work and don't really sort the output at all.

However it was odd that this option was not able to retain the natural
order of a sorted set. This feature was requested by users multiple
times as sometimes to call SORT with GET against sorted sets as a way to
mass-fetch objects can be handy.

This commit introduces two things:

1) The ability of SORT to return sorted sets elements in their natural
ordering when `BY nosort` is specified, accordingly to `DESC / ASC` options.
2) The ability of SORT to optimize this case further if LIMIT is passed
as well, avoiding to really fetch the whole sorted set, but directly
obtaining the specified range.

Because in this case the sorting is always deterministic, no
post-sorting activity is performed when SORT is called from a Lua
script.

This commit fixes issue #98.
