-Redis TODO and Roadmap
-
-VERSION 1.2 TODO (Zsets, Integer encoding, Append only journal)
-===============================================================
-
-Most of the features already implemented for this release. The following is a list of the missing things in order to release the first beta tar.gz:
-
-* Man pages for SRANDMEMBER, missing Z-commands, ...
-* Write docs for the "STORE" operaiton of SORT. Link to the article about SORT by written by defunkt.
-* ZRANGEBYSCORE LIMIT option and test.
-* check the command table for deny on OOM correctness.
-
-VERSION 1.4 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 1.6 TODO (Virtual memory)
-=================================
-
-* Redis Virtual Memory for datasets bigger than RAM (http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/msg/752997c7b38553cd)
-
-VERSION 1.8 TODO (Fault tollerant sharding)
-===========================================
-
-* Redis-cluster, a fast intermediate layer (proxy) that implements consistent hashing and fault tollerant nodes handling.
-
-Interesting readings about this:

-
-VERSION 2.0 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.
-
-VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
-============================================
-
-* JSON command able to access data serialized in JSON format. For instance if I've a key foobar with a json object I can alter the "name" file using somthing like: "JSON SET foobar name Kevin". We should have GET and INCRBY as well.
-
-SHORT/LONG TERM RANDOM TODO ITEMS
-=================================
-
- * FORK command (fork()s executing the commands received by the current
- client in the new process). Hint: large SORTs can use more cores,
- copy-on-write will avoid memory problems.
- * 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.
- * Read-only mode.
+Redis TODO
+----------
+
+WARNING: are you a possible Redis contributor?
+ Before implementing 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
+
+
+CLUSTER
+=======
+
+* Implement rehashing and cluster check in redis-trib.
+* Reimplement MIGRATE / RESTORE to use just in memory buffers (no disk at
+ all). This will require touching a lot of the RDB stuff around, but we may
+ hand with faster persistence for RDB.
+* Implement the slave nodes semantics and election.
+* Allow redis-trib to create a cluster-wide snapshot (using SYNC).
+* Allow redis-trib to restore a cluster-wide snapshot (implement UPLOAD?).
+
+SCRIPTING
+=========
+
+* SCRIPT FLUSH or alike to start a fresh interpreter?
+
+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.
+* Redis big lists as linked lists of small ziplists?
+ Possibly a simple heuristic that join near nodes when some node gets smaller than the low_level, and split it into two if gets bigger than high_level.
+
+KNOWN BUGS
+==========
+
+* #519: Slave may have expired keys that were never read in the master (so a DEL
+ is not sent in the replication channel) but are already expired since
+ a lot of time. Maybe after a given delay that is undoubtably greater than
+ the replication link latency we should expire this key on the slave on
+ access?
