 * Blocking POP operations
 *----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

/* Currently Redis blocking operations support is limited to list POP ops,
 * so the current implementation is not fully generic, but it is also not
 * completely specific so it will not require a rewrite to support new
 * kind of blocking operations in the future.
 *
 * Still it's important to note that list blocking operations can be already
 * used as a notification mechanism in order to implement other blocking
 * operations at application level, so there must be a very strong evidence
 * of usefulness and generality before new blocking operations are implemented.
 *
 * This is how the current blocking POP works, we use BLPOP as example:
 * - If the user calls BLPOP and the key exists and contains a non empty list
 *   then LPOP is called instead. So BLPOP is semantically the same as LPOP
 *   if there is not to block.
 * - If instead BLPOP is called and the key does not exists or the list is
 *   empty we need to block. In order to do so we remove the notification for
 *   new data to read in the client socket (so that we'll not serve new
 *   requests if the blocking request is not served). Also we put the client
 *   in a dictionary (db->blocking_keys) mapping keys to a list of clients
 *   blocking for this keys.
 * - If a PUSH operation against a key with blocked clients waiting is
 *   performed, we serve the first in the list: basically instead to push
 *   the new element inside the list we return it to the (first / oldest)
 *   blocking client, unblock the client, and remove it form the list.
 *
 * The above comment and the source code should be enough in order to understand
 * the implementation and modify / fix it later.
