From 37f6823f5b91f27b9dd8de8fc0e52d5ea889647c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 16:23:08 +0100 Subject: Add instance name to RDATA/POSITION commands (#7364) This is primarily for allowing us to send those commands from workers, but for now simply allows us to ignore echoed RDATA/POSITION commands that we sent (we get echoes of sent commands when using redis). Currently we log a WARNING on the master process every time we receive an echoed RDATA. --- docs/tcp_replication.md | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/tcp_replication.md b/docs/tcp_replication.md index b922d9cf7e..ab2fffbfe4 100644 --- a/docs/tcp_replication.md +++ b/docs/tcp_replication.md @@ -15,15 +15,17 @@ example flow would be (where '>' indicates master to worker and > SERVER example.com < REPLICATE - > POSITION events 53 - > RDATA events 54 ["$foo1:bar.com", ...] - > RDATA events 55 ["$foo4:bar.com", ...] + > POSITION events master 53 + > RDATA events master 54 ["$foo1:bar.com", ...] + > RDATA events master 55 ["$foo4:bar.com", ...] The example shows the server accepting a new connection and sending its identity with the `SERVER` command, followed by the client server to respond with the position of all streams.
