# Master-Slave replication. Use slaveof to make a Redis instance a copy of

# When a slave lost the connection with the master, or when the replication

#
# 2) if slave-serve-stale data is set to 'no' the slave will reply with
# an error "SYNC with master in progress" to all the kind of commands
# but to INFO and SLAVEOF.
#当slave丢失与master的连接时，或slave仍然在于master进行数据同步时（未与master保持一致）
#slave可有两种方式来响应客户端请求：
#1)如果 slave-serve-stale-data 设置成 'yes'(默认)，slave仍会响应客户端请求,此时可能会有问题
#2)如果 slave-serve-stale-data 设置成 'no'，slave会返回"SYNC with master in progress"错误信息，但 INFO 和SLAVEOF命令除外。

# Require clients to issue AUTH before processing any other

# Warning: since Redis is pretty fast an outside user can try up to
# 150k passwords per second against a good box. This means that you should
# use a very strong password otherwise it will be very easy to break.

# Set the max number of connected clients at the same time. By default there
# is no limit, and it's up to the number of file descriptors the Redis process
# is able to open. The special value '0' means no limits.
# Once the limit is reached Redis will close all the new connections sending
# an error 'max number of clients reached'.
#限制同时连接的客户数量。
#当连接数超过这个值时，redis 将不再接收其他连接请求，客户端尝试连接时将收到 error 信息
# maxclients 128
# Don't use more memory than the specified amount of bytes.
# When the memory limit is reached Redis will try to remove keys
# accordingly to the eviction policy selected (see maxmemmory-policy).
#
# If Redis can't remove keys according to the policy, or if the policy is
# set to 'noeviction', Redis will start to reply with errors to commands
# that would use more memory, like SET, LPUSH, and so on, and will continue
# to reply to read-only commands like GET.
#
# This option is usually useful when using Redis as an LRU cache, or to set
# an hard memory limit for an instance (using the 'noeviction' policy).
#
# WARNING: If you have slaves attached to an instance with maxmemory on,
# the size of the output buffers needed to feed the slaves are subtracted
# from the used memory count, so that network problems / resyncs will
# not trigger a loop where keys are evicted, and in turn the output
# buffer of slaves is full with DELs of keys evicted triggering the deletion
# of more keys, and so forth until the database is completely emptied.
#
# In short... if you have slaves attached it is suggested that you set a lower
# limit for maxmemory so that there is some free RAM on the system for slave
# output buffers (but this is not needed if the policy is 'noeviction').
#设置redis能够使用的最大内存。
#达到最大内存设置后，Redis会先尝试清除已到期或即将到期的Key（设置过expire信息的key）
#在删除时,按照过期时间进行删除，最早将要被过期的key将最先被删除
#如果已到期或即将到期的key删光，仍进行set操作，那么将返回错误
#此时redis将不再接收写请求,只接收get请求。
#maxmemory的设置比较适合于把redis当作于类似memcached 的缓存来使用

# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
# with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
# every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
#
# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
# like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.
#
# IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
# log file in background when it gets too big.
#redis 默认每次更新操作后会在后台异步的把数据库镜像备份到磁盘，但该备份非常耗时，且备份不宜太频繁
#redis 同步数据文件是按上面save条件来同步的
#如果发生诸如拉闸限电、拔插头等状况,那么将造成比较大范围的数据丢失
#所以redis提供了另外一种更加高效的数据库备份及灾难恢复方式
#开启append only 模式后,redis 将每一次写操作请求都追加到appendonly.aof 文件中
#redis重新启动时,会从该文件恢复出之前的状态。
#但可能会造成 appendonly.aof 文件过大，所以redis支持BGREWRITEAOF 指令，对appendonly.aof重新整理

# The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk
# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
#
# Redis supports three different modes:
#
# no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
# always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
# everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
#
# The default is "everysec" that's usually the right compromise between
# speed and data safety. It's up to you to understand if you can relax this to
# "no" that will will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
# it wants, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
# some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting),
# or on the contrary, use "always" that's very slow but a bit safer than
# everysec.
#
# If unsure, use "everysec".
#设置对 appendonly.aof 文件进行同步的频率
#always 表示每次有写操作都进行同步,everysec 表示对写操作进行累积,每秒同步一次。

# Virtual Memory allows Redis to work with datasets bigger than the actual
# amount of RAM needed to hold the whole dataset in memory.
# In order to do so very used keys are taken in memory while the other keys
# are swapped into a swap file, similarly to what operating systems do
# with memory pages.
#
# To enable VM just set 'vm-enabled' to yes, and set the following three
# VM parameters accordingly to your needs.
#是否开启虚拟内存支持。
#redis 是一个内存数据库，当内存满时,无法接收新的写请求,所以在redis2.0后,提供了虚拟内存的支持
#但需要注意的，redis 所有的key都会放在内存中，在内存不够时,只把value 值放入交换区
#虽使用虚拟内存，但性能基本不受影响，需要注意的是要把vm-max-memory设置到足够来放下所有的key

# can't be shared by different Redis instances, so make sure to use a swap
# file for every redis process you are running. Redis will complain if the
# swap file is already in use.
#
# The best kind of storage for the Redis swap file (that's accessed at random)
# is a Solid State Disk (SSD).
#
# *** WARNING *** if you are using a shared hosting the default of putting

#
# With vm-max-memory 0 the system will swap everything it can. Not a good

# Redis swap files is split into pages. An object can be saved using multiple

# So if your page is too big, small objects swapped out on disk will waste
# a lot of space. If you page is too small, there is less space in the swap
# file (assuming you configured the same number of total swap file pages).
#
# If you use a lot of small objects, use a page size of 64 or 32 bytes.
# If you use a lot of big objects, use a bigger page size.
# If unsure, use the default :)

#
# The total swap size is vm-page-size * vm-pages
#
# With the default of 32-bytes memory pages and 134217728 pages Redis will

# Active rehashing uses 1 millisecond every 100 milliseconds of CPU time in

# keys to values). The hash table implementation redis uses (see dict.c)
# performs a lazy rehashing: the more operation you run into an hash table
# that is rhashing, the more rehashing "steps" are performed, so if the
# server is idle the rehashing is never complete and some more memory is used
# by the hash table.
#
# The default is to use this millisecond 10 times every second in order to
# active rehashing the main dictionaries, freeing memory when possible.
#
# If unsure:
# use "activerehashing no" if you have hard latency requirements and it is
# not a good thing in your environment that Redis can reply form time to time
# to queries with 2 milliseconds delay.
#
# use "activerehashing yes" if you don't have such hard requirements but
# want to free memory asap when possible.
#是否重置Hash表
#设置成yes后redis将每100毫秒使用1毫秒CPU时间来对redis的hash表重新hash，可降低内存的使用
#当使用场景有较为严格的实时性需求,不能接受Redis时不时的对请求有2毫秒的延迟的话，把这项配置为no。
#如果没有这么严格的实时性要求,可以设置为 yes,以便能够尽可能快的释放内存
activerehashing yes
Redis官方文档对VM的使用提出了一些建议:
当key很小而value很大时,使用VM的效果会比较好.因为这样节约的内存比较大
当key不小时,可以考虑使用一些非常方法将很大的key变成很大的value,如可将key,value组合成一个新的value
最好使用linux ext3 等对稀疏文件支持比较好的文件系统保存你的swap文件
vm-max-threads参数可设置访问swap文件的线程数，最好不要超过机器的核数；设置为0则所有对swap文件的操作都是串行的，可能会造成比较长时间的延迟,但是对数据完整性有很好的保证
redis数据存储
redis的存储分为内存存储、磁盘存储和log文件三部分，配置文件中有三个参数对其进行配置。
save seconds updates，save配置，指出在多长时间内，有多少次更新操作，就将数据同步到数据文件。可多个条件配合，默认配置了三个条件。
appendonly yes/no ，appendonly配置，指出是否在每次更新操作后进行日志记录，如果不开启，可能会在断电时导致一段时间内的数据丢失。因为redis本身同步数据文件是按上面的save条件来同步的，所以有的数据会在一段时间内只存在于内存中。
appendfsync no/always/everysec ，appendfsync配置，no表示等操作系统进行数据缓存同步到磁盘，always表示每次更新操作后手动调用fsync()将数据写到磁盘，everysec表示每秒同步一次。
