主从概述

   redis 支持 master-slave(主从)模式，redis server 可以设置为另一个 redis server 的主机(从机)，从机定期从主机拿数据。特殊的，一个 从机同样可以设置为一个 redis server 的主机，这样一来 master-slave 的分布看起来就是一个有向无环图 DAG，如此形成 redis server 集群，无论是主机还是从机都是 redis server，都可以提供服务)。

   在配置后，主机可负责读写服务，从机只负责读。redis 提高这种配置方式，为的是让其支持数据的弱一致性，即最终一致性。在业务中，选择强一致性还是若已执行，应该取决于具体的业务需求，像微博，完全可以使用弱一致性模型；像淘宝，可以选用强一致性模型。

积压空间

   在《深入剖析 redis AOF 持久化策略》中，介绍了更新缓存的概念，举一个例子：客户端发来命令：set name Jhon，这一数据更新被记录为：*3/r/n$3/r/nSET/r/n$4/r/nname/r/n$3/r/nJhon/r/n，并存储在更新缓存中。

   同样，在主从连接中，也有更新缓存的概念。只是两者的用途不一样，前者被写入本地，后者被写入从机，这里我们把它成为积压空间。

   更新缓存存储在 server.repl_backlog，redis 将其作为一个环形空间来处理，这样做节省了空间，避免内存再分配的情况。

struct redisServer {
    /* Replication (master) */
    // 最近一次使用(访问)的数据集
    int slaveseldb;                 /* Last SELECTed DB in replication output */
 
    // 全局的数据同步偏移量
    long long master_repl_offset;   /* Global replication offset */
 
    // 主从连接心跳频率
    int repl_ping_slave_period;     /* Master pings the slave every N seconds */
 
    // 积压空间指针
    char *repl_backlog;             /* Replication backlog for partial syncs */
 
    // 积压空间大小
    long long repl_backlog_size;    /* Backlog circular buffer size */
 
    // 积压空间中写入的新数据的大小
    long long repl_backlog_histlen; /* Backlog actual data length */
 
    // 下一次向积压空间写入数据的起始位置
    long long repl_backlog_idx;     /* Backlog circular buffer current offset */
 
    // 积压数据的起始位置，是一个宏观值
    long long repl_backlog_off;     /* Replication offset of first byte in the
                                       backlog buffer. */
 
    // 积压空间有效时间
    time_t repl_backlog_time_limit; /* Time without slaves after the backlog
                                       gets released. */
}

   积压空间中的数据变更记录是什么时候被写入的？在执行一个 redis 命令的时候，如果存在数据的修改(写)，那么就会把变更记录传播。redis 源码中是这么实现的：call()->propagate()->replicationFeedSlaves()

   注释：命令真正执行的地方在 call() 中，call() 如果发现数据被修改(dirty)，则传播 propagrate()，replicationFeedSlaves() 将修改记录写入积压空间和所有已连接的从机。

   这里可能会有疑问：为什么把数据添加入积压空间，又把数据分发给所有的从机？为什么不仅仅将数据分发给所有从机呢？

   因为有一些从机会因特殊情况(？？？)与主机断开连接，注意从机断开前有暂存主机的状态信息，因此这些断开的从机就没有及时收到更新的数据。redis 为了让断开的从机在下次连接后能够获取更新数据，将更新数据加入了积压空间。从 replicationFeedSlaves() 实现来看，在线的 slave 能马上收到数据更新记录；因某些原因暂时断开连接的 slave，需要从积压空间中找回断开期间的数据更新记录。如果断开的时间足够长，master 会拒绝 slave 的部分同步请求，从而 slave 只能进行全同步。

   下面是源码注释：

主从数据同步机制概述

   redis 主从同步有两种方式(或者所两个阶段)：全同步和部分同步。

   主从刚刚连接的时候，进行全同步；全同步结束后，进行部分同步。当然，如果有需要，slave 在任何时候都可以发起全同步。redis 策略是，无论如何，首先会尝试进行部分同步，如不成功，要求从机进行全同步，并启动 BGSAVE……BGSAVE 结束后，传输 RDB 文件；如果成功，允许从机进行部分同步，并传输积压空间中的数据。

   如需设置 slave，master 需要向 slave 发送 SLAVEOF hostname port，从机接收到后会自动连接主机，注册相应读写事件(syncWithMaster())。

// 修改主机
void slaveofCommand(redisClient *c) {
    if (!strcasecmp(c->argv[1]->ptr,"no") &&
        !strcasecmp(c->argv[2]->ptr,"one")) {
        // slaveof no one 断开主机连接
        if (server.masterhost) {
            replicationUnsetMaster();
            redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE,"MASTER MODE enabled (user request)");
        }
    } else {
        long port;
 
        if ((getLongFromObjectOrReply(c, c->argv[2], &port, NULL) != REDIS_OK))
            return;
 
        // 可能已经连接需要连接的主机
        /* Check if we are already attached to the specified slave */
        if (server.masterhost && !strcasecmp(server.masterhost,c->argv[1]->ptr)
            && server.masterport == port) {
            redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE,"SLAVE OF would result into synchronization with the master we are already connected with. No operation performed.");
            addReplySds(c,sdsnew("+OK Already connected to specified master\r\n"));
            return;
        }
 
        // 断开之前连接主机的连接，连接新的。 replicationSetMaster() 并不会真正连接主机，只是修改 struct server 中关于主机的设置。真正的主机连接在 replicationCron() 中完成
        /* There was no previous master or the user specified a different one,
         * we can continue. */
        replicationSetMaster(c->argv[1]->ptr, port);
        redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE,"SLAVE OF %s:%d enabled (user request)",
            server.masterhost, server.masterport);
    }
    addReply(c,shared.ok);
}
 
// 设置新主机
/* Set replication to the specified master address and port. */
void replicationSetMaster(char *ip, int port) {
    sdsfree(server.masterhost);
    server.masterhost = sdsdup(ip);
    server.masterport = port;
 
    // 断开之前主机的连接
    if (server.master) freeClient(server.master);
    disconnectSlaves(); /* Force our slaves to resync with us as well. */
 
    // 取消缓存主机
    replicationDiscardCachedMaster(); /* Don't try a PSYNC. */
 
    // 释放积压空间
    freeReplicationBacklog(); /* Don't allow our chained slaves to PSYNC. */
 
    // cancelReplicationHandshake() 尝试断开数据传输和主机连接
    cancelReplicationHandshake();
    server.repl_state = REDIS_REPL_CONNECT;
    server.master_repl_offset = 0;
}
 
// 管理主从连接的定时程序定时程序，每秒执行一次
// 在 serverCorn() 中调用
/* --------------------------- REPLICATION CRON  ----------------------------- */
 
/* Replication cron funciton, called 1 time per second. */
void replicationCron(void) {
    ......
    // 如果需要( REDIS_REPL_CONNECT)，尝试连接主机，真正连接主机的操作在这里
    /* Check if we should connect to a MASTER */
    if (server.repl_state == REDIS_REPL_CONNECT) {
        redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE,"Connecting to MASTER %s:%d",
            server.masterhost, server.masterport);
        if (connectWithMaster() == REDIS_OK) {
            redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE,"MASTER <-> SLAVE sync started");
        }
    }
    ......
}

全同步

   接着自动发起 PSYNC 请求 master 进行全同步。无论如何，redis 首先会尝试部分同步，如果失败才尝试全同步。而刚刚建立连接的 master-slave 需要全同步。

   从机连接主机后，会主动发起 PSYNC 命令，从机会提供 master_runid 和 offset，主机验证 master_runid 和 offset 是否有效？master_runid 相当于主机身份验证码，用来验证从机上一次连接的主机，offset 是全局积压空间数据的偏移量。

   验证未通过则，则进行全同步：主机返回 +FULLRESYNC master_runid offset(从机接收并记录 master_runid 和 offset，并准备接收 RDB 文件)接着启动 BGSAVE 生成 RDB 文件，BGSAVE 结束后，向从机传输，从而完成全同步。

// 连接主机 connectWithMaster() 的时候，会被注册为回调函数
void syncWithMaster(aeEventLoop *el, int fd, void *privdata, int mask) {
    char tmpfile[256], *err;
    int dfd, maxtries = 5;
    int sockerr = 0, psync_result;
    socklen_t errlen = sizeof(sockerr);
 
    ......
     
    // 这里尝试向主机请求部分同步，主机会回复以拒绝或接受请求。如果拒绝部分同步，会返回 +FULLRESYNC master_runid offset
    // 从机接收后准备进行全同步    psync_result = slaveTryPartialResynchronization(fd);
    if (psync_result == PSYNC_CONTINUE) {
        redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE, "MASTER <-> SLAVE sync: Master accepted a Partial Resynchronization.");
        return;
    }
 
    // 执行全同步
    /* Fall back to SYNC if needed. Otherwise psync_result == PSYNC_FULLRESYNC
     * and the server.repl_master_runid and repl_master_initial_offset are
     * already populated. */
 
    // 未知结果，进行出错处理
    if (psync_result == PSYNC_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
        redisLog(REDIS_NOTICE,"Retrying with SYNC...");
        if (syncWrite(fd,"SYNC\r\n",6,server.repl_syncio_timeout*1000) == -1) {
            redisLog(REDIS_WARNING,"I/O error writing to MASTER: %s",
                strerror(errno));
            goto error;
        }
    }
 
    // 为什么要尝试 5次？？？
    /* Prepare a suitable temp file for bulk transfer */
    while(maxtries--) {
        snprintf(tmpfile,256,
            "temp-%d.%ld.rdb",(int)server.unixtime,(long int)getpid());
        dfd = open(tmpfile,O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_EXCL,0644);
        if (dfd != -1) break;
        sleep(1);
    }
    if (dfd == -1) {
        redisLog(REDIS_WARNING,"Opening the temp file needed for MASTER <-> SLAVE synchronization: %s",strerror(errno));
        goto error;
    }
 
    // 注册读事件，回调函数 readSyncBulkPayload()， 准备读 RDB 文件
    /* Setup the non blocking download of the bulk file. */
    if (aeCreateFileEvent(server.el,fd, AE_READABLE,readSyncBulkPayload,NULL)
            == AE_ERR)
    {
        redisLog(REDIS_WARNING,
            "Can't create readable event for SYNC: %s (fd=%d)",
            strerror(errno),fd);
        goto error;
    }
 
    // 设置传输 RDB 文件数据的选项
    // 状态
    server.repl_state = REDIS_REPL_TRANSFER;
    // RDB 文件大小
    server.repl_transfer_size = -1;
    // 已经传输的大小
    server.repl_transfer_read = 0;

    server.repl_transfer_lastio = server.unixtime;

error:
    close(fd);
    server.repl_transfer_s = -1;
    server.repl_state = REDIS_REPL_CONNECT;
    return;
}

   全同步请求的数据是 RDB 数据文件和积压空间中的数据。关于 RDB 数据文件，请参看《深入剖析 redis RDB 持久化策略》。如果没有后台持久化 BGSAVE 进程，那么 BGSVAE 会被触发，否则所有请求全同步的 slave 都会被标记为等待 BGSAVE 结束。BGSAVE 结束后，master 会马上向所有的从机发送 RDB 文件。

部分同步

   如上所说，无论如何，redis 首先会尝试部分同步。部分同步即把积压空间缓存的数据，即更新记录发送给从机。

   从机连接主机后，会主动发起 PSYNC 命令，从机会提供 master_runid 和 offset，主机验证 master_runid 和 offset 是否有效？

   验证通过则，进行部分同步：主机返回 +CONTINUE(从机接收后会注册积压数据接收事件)，接着发送积压空间数据。

// 连接主机 connectWithMaster() 的时候，会被注册为回调函数
void syncWithMaster(aeEventLoop *el, int fd, void *privdata, int mask) {
    char tmpfile[256], *err;
    int dfd, maxtries = 5;
    int sockerr = 0, psync_result;
    socklen_t errlen = sizeof(sockerr);
 
    ......
 
    // 尝试部分同步，主机允许进行部分同步会返回 +CONTINUE，从机接收后注册相应的事件
 
    /* Try a partial resynchonization. If we don't have a cached master
     * slaveTryPartialResynchronization() will at least try to use PSYNC
     * to start a full resynchronization so that we get the master run id
     * and the global offset, to try a partial resync at the next

总结

   简单来说，主从同步就是 RDB 文件的上传下载；主机有小部分的数据修改，就把修改记录传播给每个从机。这篇文章详述了 redis 主从复制的内部协议和机制。接下来的几篇关于 redis 的文章，主要是其内部数据结构。
