Fixes #4447

Description

Add repl-stream-bytes to CLUSTER SLOT-STATS — a cumulative per-slot counter of bytes generated into the replication stream, counted once per write regardless of replica count. This complements network-bytes-out (which multiplies by replica count and mixes in client-response bytes) by exposing the single-stream replication volume per slot.

The counter stays at 0 when no replication backlog exists — i.e. no replica has ever connected, or repl-backlog-ttl has elapsed since the last one disconnected.

The implementation mirrors network-bytes-out's replication accounting:

  • Increments at the same site in feedReplicationBuffer with the same len.
  • Deducts the SELECT preamble at the same site (SELECT carries no slot semantics).
  • Uses the same slot resolution (server.current_client->slot) and the same guard chain.
  • Gated by cluster-slot-stats-enabled, ORDERBY-sortable, always 0 on replicas, zeroed by the existing memset-based reset paths (ADDSLOTS/DELSLOTS, CONFIG RESETSTAT).

The only deliberate difference: no len *= listLength(server.replicas) multiplication.

Testing

  • SET FOO VALUE on a freshly connected replica: the slot counter reads exactly 33 while master_repl_offset advances 56 — proving the 23-byte SELECT preamble reached the replication stream but was not attributed to any slot.
  • Value is 0 on the replica (via empty_metrics list).
  • Reset to 0 on slot ownership change (DELSLOTS → ADDSLOTS).
  • CONFIG RESETSTAT clears counter.
  • ORDERBY repl-stream-bytes sorts correctly (DESC and ASC).
  • MULTI/EXEC transaction wrappers are counted (93 bytes for 2 SETs); single-op transactions elide wrappers (32 bytes).
  • Replica-count invariance: on a 1-primary-2-replica cluster, counter reads 33 while network-bytes-out reads 71.
  • Non-slot commands produce 0.

Track bytes generated into the replication stream per slot, counted once
regardless of replica count. SELECT preamble deducted (same site as
network-bytes-out). Gated by cluster-slot-stats-enabled, ORDERBY-sortable.
Stays 0 when no replication backlog exists.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added per-slot replication-stream byte accounting. The new repl-stream-bytes metric is exposed through CLUSTER SLOT-STATS, supports ORDERBY, excludes generated SELECT bytes, and includes coverage for resets, transactions, replicas, and multiple-replica accounting.

Changes

Replication stream statistics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Statistics contract and SLOT-STATS output
src/cluster_legacy.h, src/cluster_slot_stats.*, src/commands/cluster-slot-stats.json
Adds the per-slot counter, RESP field, schema property, increment/decrement declarations, and ORDERBY repl-stream-bytes support.
Replication stream accounting
src/replication.c
Counts buffered replication bytes once per write and removes generated SELECT command bytes from the metric.
Replication metric validation
tests/unit/cluster/slot-stats.tcl
Tests accounting, resets, transactions, ordering, replica values, slot ownership changes, and multiple replicas.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6a22e

The change adds a localized per-slot replication-byte metric with broad test coverage. Mergeability is good, but the test suite should relax one timing-sensitive offset assertion because periodic replication traffic can make the exact delta larger than expected.

Optional: fold the two replication accounting helpers into one.

clusterSlotStatsUpdateReplStreamBytes repeats clusterSlotStatsUpdateNetworkBytesOutForReplication (Lines 152-164). The only differences are the replica multiplication and the target field. A single helper that takes the target counter pointer and a multiplier keeps the guards and the underflow assertion in one place.

The guards themselves are correct: the SELECT bytes are added by feedReplicationBufferWithObject before clusterSlotStatsDecrReplStreamBytes runs, so the underflow assertion cannot trip on that path.

Note: the Cppcheck error reported at Line 187 is a parser limitation on the nodeIsPrimary macro, not a code defect.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Relax the strict master_repl_offset delta assertion.

replicationCron feeds a periodic PING into the replication stream every repl-ping-replica-period seconds. If a PING lands between the two master_repl_offset reads, the delta becomes larger than 56 and the strict equality fails. The slot-counter assertion at Lines 1090-1096 already proves that the SELECT bytes are deducted, so a lower-bound check is enough here.

💚 Proposed fix to remove the timing dependency
-        # Offset delta: SELECT (23) + SET (33) = 56.
-        assert_equal [expr {$offset_after - $offset_before}] 56
+        # Offset delta: SELECT (23) + SET (33) = 56. A periodic replication PING
+        # can add bytes in this window, so assert a lower bound.
+        assert {[expr {$offset_after - $offset_before}] >= 56}

The new cumulative byte metric exposes an existing comparator overflow in CLUSTER SLOT-STATS ORDERBY; large replication counters will not sort correctly.

repl-stream-bytes is cumulative, but slotStatForSortAscCmp/DescCmp return a uint64_t subtraction as int (src/cluster_slot_stats.c:69,79). Once two slots differ by more than INT_MAX bytes, the conversion can reverse the ordering; a difference of exactly 2^32 even compares equal. Compare with </> and return -1/1 instead of subtracting before making this metric ORDERBY-sortable.

Stream might be confusing since it's not the stream data type. I would just call it repl-network-bytes or repl-bytes.
