* longer relevant with the new design. Here as a checklist to see if
* some old ideas still apply.
*
- * - The WATCH helper will be used to signal the cache system
- * we need to flush a given key/dbid into disk, adding this key/dbid
- * pair into a server.ds_cache_dirty linked list AND hash table (so that we
- * don't add the same thing multiple times).
- *
- * - cron() checks if there are elements on this list. When there are things
- * to flush, we create an IO Job for the I/O thread.
- * NOTE: We disalbe object sharing when server.ds_enabled == 1 so objects
- * that are referenced an IO job for flushing on disk are marked as
- * o->storage == REDIS_DS_SAVING.
- *
- * - This is what we do on key lookup:
- * 1) The key already exists in memory. object->storage == REDIS_DS_MEMORY
- * or it is object->storage == REDIS_DS_DIRTY:
- * We don't do nothing special, lookup, return value object pointer.
- * 2) The key is in memory but object->storage == REDIS_DS_SAVING.
- * When this happens we block waiting for the I/O thread to process
- * this object. Then continue.
- * 3) The key is not in memory. We block to load the key from disk.
- * Of course the key may not be present at all on the disk store as well,
- * in such case we just detect this condition and continue, returning
- * NULL from lookup.
- *
- * - Preloading of needed keys:
- * 1) As it was done with VM, also with this new system we try preloading
- * keys a client is going to use. We block the client, load keys
- * using the I/O thread, unblock the client. Same code as VM more or less.
- *
- * - Reclaiming memory.
- * In cron() we detect our memory limit was reached. What we
- * do is deleting keys that are REDIS_DS_MEMORY, using LRU.
- *
- * If this is not enough to return again under the memory limits we also
- * start to flush keys that need to be synched on disk synchronously,
- * removing it from the memory. We do this blocking as memory limit is a
- * much "harder" barrirer in the new design.
- *
- * - IO thread operations are no longer stopped for sync loading/saving of
- * things. When a key is found to be in the process of being saved
- * we simply wait for the IO thread to end its work.
- *
- * Otherwise if there is to load a key without any IO thread operation
- * just started it is blocking-loaded in the lookup function.
- *
* - What happens when an object is destroyed?
*
- * If o->storage == REDIS_DS_MEMORY then we simply destory the object.
- * If o->storage == REDIS_DS_DIRTY we can still remove the object. It had
- * changes not flushed on disk, but is being removed so
- * who cares.
- * if o->storage == REDIS_DS_SAVING then the object is being saved so
- * it is impossible that its refcount == 1, must be at
- * least two. When the object is saved the storage will
- * be set back to DS_MEMORY.
- *
- * - What happens when keys are deleted?
+ * If the object is destroyed since semantically it was deleted or
+ * replaced with something new, we don't care if there was a SAVE
+ * job pending for it. Anyway when the IO JOb will be created we'll get
+ * the pointer of the current value.
*
- * We simply schedule a key flush operation as usually, but when the
- * IO thread will be created the object pointer will be set to NULL
- * so the IO thread will know that the work to do is to delete the key
- * from the disk store.
+ * If the object is already a REDIS_IO_SAVEINPROG object, then it is
+ * impossible that we get a decrRefCount() that will reach refcount of zero
+ * since the object is both in the dataset and in the io job entry.
*
* - What happens with MULTI/EXEC?
*
- * Good question.
+ * Good question. Without some kind of versioning with a global counter
+ * it is not possible to have trasactions on disk, but they are still
+ * useful since from the point of view of memory and client bugs it is
+ * a protection anyway. Also it's useful for WATCH.
*
- * - If dsSet() fails on the write thread log the error and reschedule the
- * key for flush.
+ * Btw there is to check what happens when WATCH gets combined to keys
+ * that gets removed from the object cache. Should be save but better
+ * to check.
*
- * - Check why INCR will not update the LRU info for the object.
+ * - Check if/why INCR will not update the LRU info for the object.
*
* - Fix/Check the following race condition: a key gets a DEL so there is
* a write operation scheduled against this key. Later the same key will
* not marked as cacheKeyDoesNotExist(), otherwise, again, we can load
* data from disk that should instead be deleted.
*
- * - dsSet() use rename(2) in order to avoid corruptions.
+ * - dsSet() should use rename(2) in order to avoid corruptions.
*
* - Don't add a LOAD if there is already a LOADINPROGRESS, or is this
* impossible since anyway the io_keys stuff will work as lock?
+ *
+ * - Serialize special encoded things in a raw form.
+ *
+ * - When putting IO read operations on top of the queue, do this only if
+ * the already-on-top operation is not a save or if it is a save that
+ * is scheduled for later execution. If there is a save that is ready to
+ * fire, let's insert the load operation just before the first save that
+ * is scheduled for later exection for instance.
+ *
+ * - Support MULTI/EXEC transactions via a journal file, that is played on
+ * startup to check if there is cleanup to do. This way we can implement
+ * transactions with our simple file based KV store.
