fixed server install script to rewrite the default configuration file and not a template, and removed the old config template
Fix compilation on FreeBSD. Thanks to @koobs on twitter.
Added the SRANDMEMBER key <count> variant.

SRANDMEMBER called with just the key argument can just return a single
random element from a Redis Set. However many users need to return
multiple unique elements from a Set, this is not a trivial problem to
handle in the client side, and for truly good performance a C
implementation was required.

After many requests for this feature it was finally implemented.

The problem implementing this command is the strategy to follow when
the number of elements the user asks for is near to the number of
elements that are already inside the set. In this case asking random
elements to the dictionary API, and trying to add it to a temporary set,
may result into an extremely poor performance, as most add operations
will be wasted on duplicated elements.

For this reason this implementation uses a different strategy in this
case: the Set is copied, and random elements are returned to reach the
specified count.

The code actually uses 4 different algorithms optimized for the
different cases.

If the count is negative, the command changes behavior and allows for
duplicated elements in the returned subset.
SRANDMEMBER <count> leak fixed.

For "CASE 4" (see code) we need to free the element if it's already in
the result dictionary and adding it failed.
Test for SRANDMEMBER with <count>.
First implementation of Redis Sentinel.

This commit implements the first, beta quality implementation of Redis
Sentinel, a distributed monitoring system for Redis with notification
and automatic failover capabilities.

Typo.
Fixed an error in the example sentinel.conf.
Sentinel: more robust failover detection as observer.

Sentinel observers detect failover checking if a slave attached to the
monitored master turns into its replication state from slave to master.
However while this change may in theory only happen after a SLAVEOF NO
ONE command, in practie it is very easy to reboot a slave instance with
a wrong configuration that turns it into a master, especially if it was
a past master before a successfull failover.

This commit changes the detection policy so that if an instance goes
from slave to master, but at the same time the runid has changed, we
sense a reboot, and in that case we don't detect a failover at all.

This commit also introduces the "reboot" sentinel event, that is logged
at "warning" level (so this will trigger an admin notification).

The commit also fixes a problem in the disconnect handler that assumed
that the instance object always existed, that is not the case. Now we
no longer assume that redisAsyncFree() will call the disconnection
handler before returning.
Sentinel: check that instance still exists in reply callbacks.

We can't be sure the instance object still exists when the reply
callback is called.
Sentinel: changes to connection handling and redirection.

We disconnect the Redis instances hiredis link in a more robust way now.
Also we change the way we perform the redirection for the +switch-master
event, that is not just an instance reset with an address change.

Using the same system we now implement the +redirect-to-master event
that is triggered by an instance that is configured to be master but
found to be a slave at the first INFO reply. In that case we monitor the
master instead, logging the incident as an event.
Sentinel: debugging message removed.
Prevent a spurious +sdown event on switch.

When we reset the master we should start with clean timestamps for ping
replies otherwise we'll detect a spurious +sdown event, because on
+master-switch event the previous master instance was probably in +sdown
condition. Since we updated the address we should count time from
scratch again.

Also this commit makes sure to explicitly reset the count of pending
commands, now we can do this because of the new way the hiredis link
is closed.
Sentinel: reset pending_commands in a more generic way.
Sentinel: abort failover if no good slave is available.

The previous behavior of the state machine was to wait some time and
retry the slave selection, but this is not robust enough against drastic
changes in the conditions of the monitored instances.

What we do now when the slave selection fails is to abort the failover
and return back monitoring the master. If the ODOWN condition is still
present a new failover will be triggered and so forth.

This commit also refactors the code we use to abort a failover.
Some cleanup in sentinel.conf
Fix warning in redis.c for sentinel config load
Sentinel: ability to execute notification scripts.
comment fix

improve English a bit. :-)
Sentinel: don't start a failover as leader if there is no good slave.
