-VERSION 1.1 TODO (Zsets, Integer encoding, Append only journal)
+Redis TODO
+----------
+
+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.
+
+REPLICATION
+===========
+
+* 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.
+
+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.
+* Read-only mode for slaves.
+
+KNOWN BUGS
+==========
+
+* 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.
-* For now only the last argument gets integer encoded, so make sure that: 1) every multi bulk commands implemented will have the last arg that is indeed a value, and not used otherwise. 2) to explicitly call the function to encode the object in MSET and other commands where there are multiple "values".
-* Man pages for MSET MSETNX and SRANDMEMBER, missing Z-commands, ...
-* Use strcoll() to compare objects in sorted sets, like it already happens for SORT.
-* Write docs for the "STORE" operaiton of SORT, and GET "#" option.
-* Append only mode: testing and a command to rebuild the log from scratch.
-
-VERSION 1.2 TODO (Hash type)
-
-* Hashes (HSET, HGET, HEXISTS, HLEN, ...).
-* An utility able to export an .rdb file into a text-only JSON dump, we can't live anymore without such a tool. Probably an extension to redis-cli.
-
-VERSION 1.3 TODO (Virtual memory)
-
-* Redis Virtual Memory for datasets bigger than RAM (http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/msg/752997c7b38553cd)
-
-VERSION 1.4 TODO (Fault tollerant sharding)
-
-* Redis-cluster, an fast intermediate layer (proxy) that implements consistent hashing and fault tollrant nodes handling.
-
-VERSION 1.5 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
-
-* Lower the CPU usage.
-* Lower the RAM usage everywhere possible.
-* Use epool and alike to rewrite ae.c for Linux and other platforms suppporting fater-than-select() mutiplexing APIs.
-* Implement an UDP interface for low-latency GET/SET operations.
-
-SHORT/LONG TERM RANDOM TODO ITEMS.
-
- * 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.
- * LOCK / TRYLOCK / UNLOCK as described many times in the google group
- * Replication automated tests
- * BYTEDARRAY type
- * zmalloc() should avoid to add a private header for archs where there is some other kind of libc-specific way to get the size of a malloced block.
