Replicate a list value

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Redis version: 2.2.4

Mismatch value after replicating a list value.  Steps:
1. Master: 
redis> lpush list 1
(integer) 1
redis> lpush list 2
(integer) 2
redis> lrange list 0 3
1) "2"
2) "1"

2. Slave:
redis> lrange list 0 3
1) "2"
2) "1"
redis> lpush list 3
(integer) 3
redis> lrange list 0 3
1) "3"
2) "2"
3) "1"

3. Master:
redis> lset list 0 5
OK
redis> lrange list 0 3
1) "5"
2) "1"

4. Slave:
redis> lrange list 0 3
1) "5"
2) "2"
3) "1"

Yet it's okay after restarting slave.

This is not a bug. Slaves don't write their updates to the master, but do allow 
for local writes. Upon slave restart, or even a "slaveof no one" followed by 
"slaveof masterhost masterport", the slave is re-synchronized to the master.

I think after replica, the list value on slave should be same with master.
It's local update should be lost and replace by master.

So it's value should be:

4. Slave:
redis> lrange list 0 3
1) "5"
2) "1"

As Josiah mentions, this is expected behavior. If you want to write against 
your slave because that makes sense, you can and Redis does not interfere. If 
you want to have the slave exactly mirror the data on the master, you should 
not write to slaves.

Okay, thanks for reply.

By the way, do you have any plan to support partial replica?  For example, only 
replicate some selected databases?

At some point in the future we will likely deprecate multiple databases, as it 
is a bad practice for separation and adds (imo unnecessary) complexity to 
Redis. Rather, it is recommended to use multiple Redis instances for separation 
of data, since it has a very low memory footprint and moves the complexity to 
the OS.
