Chain Replicated Redis

Building

First, ensure that the target system has the necessary build tooling. On Ubuntu, this can be achieved with:

$ sudo apt install build-essential autogen autoconf libtool cmake tcl shtool

Now, build third-party dependencies and credis itself:

git submodule init
git submodule update

# Install tcmalloc according to
# https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/blob/master/INSTALL

cd redis
env USE_TCMALLOC=yes make -j
cd ..

cd glog
cmake -DWITH_GFLAGS=OFF .
make
make -j install
cd ..

cd leveldb
make -j
cd ..

OPTIONAL: if you plan to use the etcd master, build needed dependencies.

# Builds etcd client library and GRPC+Protobufs
cd credis
cd etcd3-cpp
git submodule update --init
cd grpc
git submodule update --init
make
make install
cd third_party/protobuf
# it's okay if there's nothing to do for target install, that means grpc's Makefile already installed it
make install
cd ../../../..

Finally, build credis itself:

# Build credis itself
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make -j

etcd

To make etcd-related tests pass and experiment with the etcd master, you need to have etcd running locally. For tests, it must be listening on 127.0.0.1:12379.

A really simple way to do this is to install Docker, and then:

docker run -d -p 12379:2379 appcelerator/etcd

To run etcd without Docker, you will need to install and run it manually.

There are two options for doing this, depending on if you have Go installed.

With Go Installed

$ go get github.com/coreos/etcd
# Both listen-client-urls and advertise-client-urls are needed
$ $GOPATH/bin/etcd --listen-client-urls http://127.0.0.1:12379 \
                   --advertise-client-urls http://127.0.0.1:12379

Without Go installed

$ git clone github.com/coreos/etcd
$ cd etcd
$ ./build
$ ./bin/etcd --listen-client-urls http://127.0.0.1:12379 \
             --advertise-client-urls http://127.0.0.1:12379

Trying it out

First we start the master and two chain members:

cd build/src
# Start the master
../../redis/src/redis-server --loadmodule libmaster.so --port 6369
# Start the first chain members
../../redis/src/redis-server --loadmodule libmember.so --port 6370
../../redis/src/redis-server --loadmodule libmember.so --port 6371

Now we register the chain members with the master:

redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.ADD 127.0.0.1 6370
redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.ADD 127.0.0.1 6371

Do some write requests to the first server:

redis-cli -p 6370
> MEMBER.PUT a 1
> MEMBER.PUT b 2

Add a new tail:

../../redis/src/redis-server --loadmodule libmember.so --port 6372
redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.ADD 127.0.0.1 6372

Check that replication worked:

redis-cli -p 6372
> get a

Trying it out (etcd version)

Start etcd as in the section above, then start the master and two chain members:

cd build
redis-server --loadmodule src/etcd/libetcd_master.so 127.0.0.1:12379/my_cool_chain --port 6369
# The first argument is the master type: 0 = MASTER_REDIS (default), 1 = MASTER_ETCD
redis-server --loadmodule src/libmember.so 1 [heartbeat interval] [heartbeat timeout] --port 6370
redis-server --loadmodule src/libmember.so 1 [heartbeat interval] [heartbeat timeout] --port 6371
redis-server --loadmodule src/libmember.so 1 [heartbeat interval] [heartbeat timeout] --port 6372

Register the chain members:

redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.ADD 127.0.0.1 6370
redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.ADD 127.0.0.1 6371
redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.ADD 127.0.0.1 6372

And start the chain members' heartbeats:

redis-cli -p 6370 MEMBER.CONNECT_TO_MASTER 127.0.0.1:12379/my_cool_chain
redis-cli -p 6371 MEMBER.CONNECT_TO_MASTER 127.0.0.1:12379/my_cool_chain
redis-cli -p 6372 MEMBER.CONNECT_TO_MASTER 127.0.0.1:12379/my_cool_chain

If you kill a node, it will be removed from the chain within the heartbeat timeout you gave. The default is an interval of 3 and a timeout of 15 sec.

However, you can also inform the master that a node died with MASTER.REMOVE:

redis-cli -p 6369 MASTER.REMOVE 127.0.0.1 6370

Running tests

You need Python3 (Python 2 support is coming soon), and the necessary Python libs:

$ pip3 install redis etcd3 numpy

To make etcd-related tests pass, etcd must be running on port 12379 (see above.)
