Otherwise it is probably wasted work! Thank you + +DISKSTORE TODO +============== + +* 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. +* Use a mutex to log on the file, so that we don't get overlapping messages, or even better make sure to use a single write against it. +* 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 +* Prevent io jobs from running while there is a BGSAVE thread. + +REPLICATION +=========== + +* PING between master and slave from time to time, so we can subject the +master-slave link to timeout, and detect when the connection is gone even +if the socket is still up. + +OPTIMIZATIONS +============= -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: - -* Continue adding tests accordingly to gcov output. - -VERSION 1.4 TODO (Hash type) -============================ - -* Blocking LPOP (BLPOP). -* Hashes (HSET, HGET, HEXISTS, HLEN, ...). -* List ops like L/RPUSH L/RPOP should return the new list length. - -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: - - - http://ayende.com/Blog/archive/2009/04/06/designing-rhino-dht-a-fault-tolerant-dynamically-distributed-hash.aspx - -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. - -OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL BE ADDED BUT I'M NOT SURE WHEN -=============================================================== - -BIG ONES: - -* Specially encoded memory-saving integer sets. -* A command to export a JSON dump (there should be mostly working patch needing major reworking). - -SMALL ONES: - -* Give errors when incrementing a key that does not look like an integer, when providing as a sorted set score something can't be parsed as a double, and so forth. -* MSADD (n keys) (n values). See this thread in the Redis google group: http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/browse_thread/thread/e766d84eb375cd41 - -SHORT/LONG TERM RANDOM TODO ITEMS -================================= - -Most of this can be seen just as proposals, the fact they are in this list -it's not a guarantee they'll ever get implemented ;) - -* Move dict.c from hash table to skip list, in order to avoid the blocking resize operation needed for the hash table. -* 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. -* DUP command? DUP srckey dstkey, creates an exact clone of srckey value in dstkey. * 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 -* Byte Array type (BA prefixed commands): BASETBIT BAGETBIT BASETU8 U16 U32 U64 S8 S16 S32 S64, ability to atomically INCRBY all the base types. BARANGE to get a range of bytes as a bulk value, BASETRANGE to set a range of bytes. -* 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. Already done for Mac OS X. -* Read-only mode. -* Pattern-matching replication. -* Don't save empty lists / sets / zsets on disk with snapshotting. -* Remove keys when a list / set / zset reaches length of 0. - -DOCUMENTATION WISHLIST -====================== - -* Page explaining tips to reduce memory usage. -* A Sorted sets HOWTO +* Read-only mode for slaves. + +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.
