+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
+
+
+API CHANGES
+===========
+
+* Turn commands into variadic versions when it makes sense, that is, when
+ the variable number of arguments represent values, and there is no conflict
+ with the return value of the command.
+
+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?).
+
+APPEND ONLY FILE
+================
+
+* in AOF rewirte use HMSET to rewrite small hashes instead of multiple calls
+ to HSET.
+
+OPTIMIZATIONS
+=============
+
+* Avoid COW due to incrementing the dict iterators counter.
+* 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.
+
+REPORTING
+=========
+
+* Better INFO output with sections.
+
+RANDOM
+======
+
+* Clients should be closed as far as the output buffer list is bigger than a given number of elements (configurable in redis.conf)
+* Should the redis default configuration, and the default redis.conf, just bind 127.0.0.1?
+
+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.
+* #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 undoubltly greater than
+ the replication link latency we should expire this key on the slave on
+ access?
+
+DISKSTORE TODO
+==============
+
+* Fix FLUSHALL/FLUSHDB: the queue of pending reads/writes should be handled.
+* Check that 00/00 and ff/ff exist at startup, otherwise exit with error.
+* Implement sync flush option, where data is written synchronously on disk when a command is executed.
+* Implement MULTI/EXEC as transaction abstract API to diskstore.c, with transaction_start, transaction_end, and a journal to recover.
+* Stop BGSAVE thread on shutdown and any other condition where the child is killed during normal bgsave.
+* Fix RANDOMKEY to really do something interesting
+* Fix DBSIZE to really do something interesting
+* Add a DEBUG command to check if an entry is or not in memory currently
+* dscache.c near 236, kobj = createStringObject... we could use static obj.
