Migrate rdb to remote redis cluster

$ rmt -s /path/to/dump.rdb -c ./nodes-30001.conf -r

Other parameter

More configurable parameter can be modified in /path/to/redis-rdb-cli/conf/redis-rdb-cli.conf

Filter

rct, rdt and rmt these 3 commands support data filter by type,db and key RegEx(Java style).
rst this command only support data filter by db.

For example:

$ rct -f dump -s /path/to/dump.rdb -o /path/to/dump.aof -d 0
$ rct -f dump -s /path/to/dump.rdb -o /path/to/dump.aof -t string hash
$ rmt -s /path/to/dump.rdb -m redis://192.168.1.105:6379 -r -d 0 1 -t list
$ rst -s redis://127.0.0.1:6379 -m redis://127.0.0.1:6380 -d 0

Monitor redis server

# step1 
# open file `/path/to/redis-rdb-cli/conf/redis-rdb-cli.conf`
# change property `metric_gateway from `none` to `influxdb`
#
# step2
$ cd /path/to/redis-rdb-cli/dashboard
$ docker-compose up -d
#
# step3
$ rmonitor -s redis://127.0.0.1:6379 -n standalone
$ rmonitor -s redis://127.0.0.1:30001 -n cluster
$ rmonitor -s redis-sentinel://sntnl-usr:sntnl-pwd@127.0.0.1:26379?master=mymaster&authUser=usr&authPassword=pwd -n sentinel
#
# step4
# open url `http://localhost:3000/d/monitor/monitor`, login grafana use `admin`, `admin` and check monitor result.

Difference between rmt and rst

When rmt started. source redis first do BGSAVE and generate a snapshot rdb file. rmt command migrate this snapshot file to target redis. after this process done, rmt terminated.
rst not only migrate snapshot rdb file but also incremental data from source redis. so rst never terminated except type CTRL+C. rst only support db filter more details please refer to Limitation of migration

Dashboard

Since v0.1.9, the rct -f mem support showing result in grafana dashboard like the following:

If you want to turn it on. you MUST install docker and docker-compose first, the installation please refer to docker
Then run the following command:

$ cd /path/to/redis-rdb-cli/dashboard

# start
$ docker-compose up -d

# stop
$ docker-compose down

cd /path/to/redis-rdb-cli/conf/redis-rdb-cli.conf
Then change parameter metric_gateway from none to influxdb.

Open http://localhost:3000 to check the rct -f mem's result.

If you deployed this tool in multi instance, you need to change parameter metric_instance to make sure unique between instances.

Redis 6

Redis 6 SSL

use openssl to generate keystore

$ cd /path/to/redis-6.0-rc1
$ ./utils/gen-test-certs.sh
$ cd tests/tls
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -CAfile ca.crt -in redis.crt -inkey redis.key -out redis.p12

If source redis and target redis use the same keystore. then config following parameters
source_keystore_path and target_keystore_path to point to /path/to/redis-6.0-rc1/tests/tls/redis.p12
set source_keystore_pass and target_keystore_pass
after config ssl parameters use rediss://host:port in your command to open ssl, for example: rst -s rediss://127.0.0.1:6379 -m rediss://127.0.0.1:30001 -r -d 0

Redis 6 ACL

use following URI to open redis ACL support

$ rst -s redis://user:pass@127.0.0.1:6379 -m redis://user:pass@127.0.0.1:6380 -r -d 0

user MUST have +@all permission to handle commands

Hack rmt

Rmt threading model

The rmt command use the following 4 parameters(redis-rdb-cli.conf) to migrate data to remote.

migrate_batch_size=4096
migrate_threads=4
migrate_flush=yes
migrate_retries=1

The most important parameter is migrate_threads=4. this means we use the following threading model to migrate data.

+--------------+         +----------+                   +--------------+

The difference between cluster migration and single migration is Endpoint and Endpoints. In cluster migration the Endpoints contains multi Endpoint to point to every master instance in cluster. For example:

3 masters 3 replicas redis cluster. if migrate_threads=4 then we have 3 * 4 = 12 connections that connected with master instance.

Migration performance

The following 3 parameters affect migration performance

migrate_batch_size=4096
migrate_retries=1
migrate_flush=yes

migrate_batch_size: By default we use redis pipeline to migrate data to remote. the migrate_batch_size is the pipeline batch size. if migrate_batch_size=1 then the pipeline devolved into 1 single command to sent and wait the response from remote.
migrate_retries: The migrate_retries=1 means if socket error occurred. we recreate a new socket and retry to send that failed command to target redis with migrate_retries times.
migrate_flush: The migrate_flush=yes means we write every 1 command to socket. then we invoke SocketOutputStream.flush() immediately. if migrate_flush=no we invoke SocketOutputStream.flush() when write to socket every 64KB. notice that this parameter also affect migrate_retries. the migrate_retries only take effect when migrate_flush=yes.

Migration principle

+---------------+             +-------------------+                 +---------------+

Limitation of migration

We use cluster's nodes.conf to migrate data to cluster. because of we didn't handle the MOVED ASK redirection. so limitation of cluster migration is that the cluster MUST in stable state during the migration. this means the cluster MUST have no migrating, importing slot and no switch slave to master.
If use rst migrate data to cluster. the following commands not supported PUBLISH,SWAPDB,MOVE,FLUSHALL,FLUSHDB,MULTI,EXEC,SCRIPT FLUSH,SCRIPT LOAD,EVAL,EVALSHA. and the following commands RPOPLPUSH,SDIFFSTORE,SINTERSTORE,SMOVE,ZINTERSTORE,ZUNIONSTORE,DEL,UNLINK,RENAME,RENAMENX,PFMERGE,PFCOUNT,MSETNX,BRPOPLPUSH,BITOP,MSET,COPY,BLMOVE,LMOVE,ZDIFFSTORE,GEOSEARCHSTORE ONLY SUPPORT WHEN THESE COMMAND KEYS IN THE SAME SLOT(eg: del {user}:1 {user}:2)

Hack ret

What ret command do

ret command that allow user define there own sink service like sink redis data to mysql or mongodb.
ret command using Java SPI extension to do this job.
