+Redis TODO
+----------

 
 

-- TTL command that returns -1 if a key is not volatile otherwise the time to live of a volatile key.
-- Remove max number of args limit
-- What happens if the saving child gets killed or segfaults instead of ending normally? Handle this.
-- Make sinterstore / unionstore / sdiffstore returning the cardinality of the resulting set.
-- maxclients directive
-- check 'server.dirty' everywere
-- replication automated tests
-- Shutdown must kill other background savings before to start saving. Otherwise the DB can get replaced by the child that rename(2) after the parent for some reason.
-- Document replication
-- Objects sharing configuration, add the directive "objectsharingpool <size>"
-- Make sure to convert all the fstat() calls to 64bit versions.
-- SINTERCOUNT, SUNIONCOUNT, SDIFFCOUNT
+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

 
 

-AFTER 1.0 stable release

 
 

-- Use partial qsort for SORT + LIMIT
-- Locking primitives
+CLUSTER
+=======

 
 

-FUTURE HINTS
+* 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?).

 
 

-- In memory compression: if in-memory values compression will be implemented, make sure to implement this so that addReply() is able to handle compressed objects, just creating an uncompressed version on the fly and adding this to the output queue instead of the original one. When insetad we need to look at the object string value (SORT BY for example), call a function that will turn the object into an uncompresed one.
+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?
