+# When a slave lost the connection with the master, or when the replication
+# is still in progress, the slave can act in two different ways:
+#
+# 1) if slave-serve-stale-data is set to 'yes' (the default) the slave will
+# still reply to client requests, possibly with out of data data, or the
+# data set may just be empty if this is the first synchronization.
+#
+# 2) if slave-serve-stale data is set to 'no' the slave will reply with

# Require clients to issue AUTH <PASSWORD> before processing any other

# This should stay commented out for backward compatibility and because most

+# It is possilbe to change the name of dangerous commands in a shared

+# tools but not available for general clients.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# rename-command CONFIG b840fc02d524045429941cc15f59e41cb7be6c52

################################### LIMITS ####################################
# Set the max number of connected clients at the same time. By default there
#
# maxmemory <bytes>
+# MAXMEMORY POLICY: how Redis will select what to remove when maxmemory
+# is reached? You can select among five behavior:
+#
+# volatile-lru -> remove the key with an expire set using an LRU algorithm
+# allkeys-lru -> remove any key accordingly to the LRU algorithm
+# volatile-random -> remove a random key with an expire set
+# allkeys->random -> remove a random key, any key
+# volatile-ttl -> remove the key with the nearest expire time (minor TTL)
+# noeviction -> don't expire at all, just return an error on write operations
+#
+# Note: with all the kind of policies, Redis will return an error on write
+# operations, when there are not suitable keys for eviction.
+#
+# At the date of writing this commands are: set setnx setex append
+# incr decr rpush lpush rpushx lpushx linsert lset rpoplpush sadd
+# sinter sinterstore sunion sunionstore sdiff sdiffstore zadd zincrby
+# zunionstore zinterstore hset hsetnx hmset hincrby incrby decrby
+# getset mset msetnx exec sort
+#
+# The default is:
+#
+# maxmemory-policy volatile-lru
+
+# LRU and minimal TTL algorithms are not precise algorithms but approximated
+# algorithms (in order to save memory), so you can select as well the sample
+# size to check. For instance for default Redis will check three keys and
+# pick the one that was used less recently, you can change the sample size
+# using the following configuration directive.

############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
-# every write operation received in the file appendonly.log. This file will
+# every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
#
# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.
#
-# The name of the append only file is "appendonly.log"
-#
# IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
# log file in background when it gets too big.
appendonly no

# The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk
# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
appendfsync everysec
# appendfsync no
+# When the AOF fsync policy is set to always or everysec, and a background
+# saving process (a background save or AOF log background rewriting) is
+# performing a lot of I/O against the disk, in some Linux configurations
+# Redis may block too long on the fsync() call. Note that there is no fix for
+# this currently, as even performing fsync in a different thread will block
+# our synchronous write(2) call.
+#
+# In order to mitigate this problem it's possible to use the following option
+# that will prevent fsync() from being called in the main process while a
+# BGSAVE or BGREWRITEAOF is in progress.
+#
+# This means that while another child is saving the durability of Redis is
+# the same as "appendfsync none", that in pratical terms means that it is
+# possible to lost up to 30 seconds of log in the worst scenario (with the
+# default Linux settings).
+#
+# If you have latency problems turn this to "yes". Otherwise leave it as
+# "no" that is the safest pick from the point of view of durability.

################################ VIRTUAL MEMORY ###############################

-# When object sharing is enabled (shareobjects yes) you can use
