This replaces individual ziplist vs. linkedlist representations
for Redis list operations.
Big thanks for all the reviews and feedback from everybody in
https://github.com/antirez/redis/pull/2143
People mostly use SORT against lists, but our prior
behavior was pretending lists were an unordered bag
requiring a forced-sort when no sort was requested.
We can just use the native list ordering to ensure
consistency across replicaion and scripting calls.
Closes#2079Closes#545 (again)
We only want to use the last STORE key, but we have to record
we actually found a STORE key so we can increment the final return
key count.
Test added to prevent further regression.
Closes#1883, #1645, #1647
When SORT is called with the option BY set to a string constant not
inclduing the wildcard character "*", there is no way to sort the output
so any ordering is valid. This allows the SORT internals to optimize its
work and don't really sort the output at all.
However it was odd that this option was not able to retain the natural
order of a sorted set. This feature was requested by users multiple
times as sometimes to call SORT with GET against sorted sets as a way to
mass-fetch objects can be handy.
This commit introduces two things:
1) The ability of SORT to return sorted sets elements in their natural
ordering when `BY nosort` is specified, accordingly to `DESC / ASC` options.
2) The ability of SORT to optimize this case further if LIMIT is passed
as well, avoiding to really fetch the whole sorted set, but directly
obtaining the specified range.
Because in this case the sorting is always deterministic, no
post-sorting activity is performed when SORT is called from a Lua
script.
This commit fixes issue #98.
