AOF（append only file）持久化：以独立日志的方式记录每次写命令，重启时再重新执行AOF文件中的命令达到恢复数据的目的。AOF的主要作用是解决了数据持久化的实时性，目前已经是Redis持久化的主流方式。

开启AOF功能需要设置配置：appendonly yes，AOF文件名通过appendfilename配置设置，默认文件名是appendonly.aof。保存路径同RDB持久化方式一致，通过dir配置指定。

appendonly默认是no，需要改成yes

# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. This mode is# good enough in many applications, but an issue with the Redis process or# a power outage may result into a few minutes of writes lost (depending on# the configured save points).## The Append Only File is an alternative persistence mode that provides# much better durability. For instance using the default data fsync policy# (see later in the config file) Redis can lose just one second of writes in a# dramatic event like a server power outage, or a single write if something# wrong with the Redis process itself happens, but the operating system is# still running correctly.## AOF and RDB persistence can be enabled at the same time without problems.# If the AOF is enabled on startup Redis will load the AOF, that is the file# with the better durability guarantees.## Please check http://redis.io/topics/persistence for more information.appendonly no

文件名，默认是appendonly.aof

# The name of the append only file (default: "appendonly.aof")appendfilename "appendonly.aof"

AOF的工作流程操作：命令写入（append）、文件同步（sync）、文件重写（rewrite）、重启加载（load），如下图

1. 所有的写入命令会追加到aof_buf（缓冲区）中
2. AOF缓冲区根据对应的策略向硬盘做同步操作
3. 随着AOF文件越来越大，需要定期对AOF文件进行重写，达到压缩的目的
4. 当Redis服务器重启时，可以加载AOF文件进行数据恢复。

命令写入

AOF命令写入的内容直接是文本协议格式，即是RESP，Redis序列化协议

例如set hello world这条命令，在AOF缓冲区会追加如下文本

*3\r\n$3\r\nset\r\n$5\r\nhello\r\n$5\r\nworld\r\n

AOF会把命令追加到aof_buf中的好处：Redis使用单线程响应命令，如果每次写AOF文件命令都直接追加到硬盘，那么性能完全取决于当前硬盘负载。先写入缓冲区aof_buf中，还有另一个好处，Redis可以提供多种缓冲区同步硬盘的策略，在性能和安全性方面做出平衡

文件同步

Redis提供了多种AOF缓冲区同步文件策略，由参数appendfsync控制

# The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk# instead of waiting 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 one time every second. Compromise.## The default is "everysec", as 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 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.## More details please check the following article:# http://antirez.com/post/redis-persistence-demystified.html## If unsure, use "everysec".# appendfsync alwaysappendfsync everysec# appendfsync no

系统调用write和fsync说明

• write操作会触发延迟写（delayed write）机制。Linux在内核提供页缓冲区用来提高硬盘IO性能。write操作在写入系统缓冲区后直接返回。同步硬盘操作依赖于系统调度机制，例如：缓冲区页空间写满或达到特定时间周期。同步文件之前，如果此时系统故障宕机，缓冲区内数据将丢失
• fsync针对单个文件操作（比如AOF文件），做强制硬盘同步，fsync将阻塞直到写入硬盘完成后返回，保证了数据持久化
• 配置为always时，每次写入都要同步AOF文件，在一般的SATA硬盘上，Redis只能支持大约几百TPS写入，显然跟Redis高性能特性背道而驰，不建议配置
• 配置为no，由于操作系统每次同步AOF文件的周期不可控，而且会加大每次同步硬盘的数据量，虽然提升了性能，但数据安全性无法保证
• 配置为everysec，是建议的同步策略，也是默认配置，做到兼顾性能和数据安全性。理论上只有在系统突然宕机的情况下丢失1秒的数据

重写机制

随着命令不断写入AOF，文件会越来越大，为了解决这个问题，Redis引入AOF重写机制压缩文件体积。AOF文件重写是把Redis进程内的数据转化为写命令同步到新AOF文件的过程

• 重写后的AOF文件会变小的原因：
• 进程内已经超时的数据不再写入文件
• 旧的AOF文件含有无效命令，如del key1、hdel key2、srem keys、set a 111、set a 222等。重写使用进程内数据直接生成，这样新的AOF文件只保留最终数据的写入命令
• 多条写命令可以合并为一个，如：lpush list a、lpush list b、lpush list c可以转化为：lpush list a b c。为了防止单条命令过大造成客户端缓冲区溢出，对于list、set、hash、zset等类型操作，以64个元素为界拆分为多条

AOF重写降低了文件占用空间，除此之外，另一个目的是：更小的AOF文件可以更快地被Redis加载

AOF重写过程可以手动触发和自动触发

手动触发：直接调用bgrewriteaof命令

自动触发：根据auto-aof-rewrite-min-size和auto-aof-rewrite-percentage参数确定自动触发时机

# Automatic rewrite of the append only file.# Redis is able to automatically rewrite the log file implicitly calling# BGREWRITEAOF when the AOF log size grows by the specified percentage.## This is how it works: Redis remembers the size of the AOF file after the# latest rewrite (if no rewrite has happened since the restart, the size of# the AOF at startup is used).## This base size is compared to the current size. If the current size is# bigger than the specified percentage, the rewrite is triggered. Also# you need to specify a minimal size for the AOF file to be rewritten, this# is useful to avoid rewriting the AOF file even if the percentage increase# is reached but it is still pretty small.## Specify a percentage of zero in order to disable the automatic AOF# rewrite feature.auto-aof-rewrite-percentage 100auto-aof-rewrite-min-size 64mb

auto-aof-rewrite-min-size：表示运行AOF重写时文件最小体积，默认为64MB

auto-aof-rewrite-percentage：代表当前AOF文件空间（aof_current_size）和上一次重写后AOF文件空间（aof_base_size）的比值

自动触发时机=aof_current_size>auto-aof-rewrite-min-size&&（aof_current_size-aof_base_size）/aof_base_size>=auto-aof-rewrite-percentage

其中aof_current_size和aof_base_size可以在info Persistence统计信息中查看

AOF重写运作流程如下图

1.执行AOF重写请求

2.父进程执行fork创建子进程，开销等同于bgsave过程

3.1 主进程fork操作完成后，继续响应其他命令。所有修改命令依然写入AOF缓冲区并根据appendfsync策略同步到硬盘，保证原有AOF机制正确性

3.2 由于fork操作运用写时复制技术，子进程只能共享fork操作时的内存数据。由于父进程依然响应命令，Redis使用“AOF重写缓冲区”保存这部分新数据，防止新AOF文件生成期间丢失这部分数据

4 子进程根据内存快照，按照命令合并规则写入到新的AOF文件。每次批量写入硬盘数据量由配置aof-rewrite-incremental-fsync控制，默认为32MB，防止单次刷盘数据过多造成硬盘阻塞

5.1 新AOF文件写入完成后，子进程发送信号给父进程，父进程更新统计信息，具体见info persistence下的aof_*相关统计

5.2 父进程把AOF重写缓冲区的数据写入到新的AOF文件

5.3 使用新AOF文件替换老文件，完成AOF重写

重启加载

AOF和RDB文件都可以用于服务器重启时的数据恢复，下图表示Redis持久化文件加载流程

文件校验

加载损坏的AOF文件时会拒绝启动，并打印如下日志：

# Bad file format reading the append only file: make a backup of your AOF file,then use ./redis-check-aof --fix

对于错误格式的AOF文件，先进行备份，然后采用redis-check-aof–fix命令进行修复，修复后使用diff-u对比数据的差异，找出丢失的数据，有些可以人工修改补全。

AOF文件可能存在结尾不完整的情况，比如机器突然掉电导致AOF尾部文件命令写入不全。Redis为我们提供了aof-load-truncated配置来兼容这种情况，默认开启。加载AOF时，当遇到此问题时会忽略并继续启动，同时打印如下警告日志：

# !!! Warning: short read while loading the AOF file !!!# !!! Truncating the AOF at offset 397856725 !!!# AOF loaded anyway because aof-load-truncated is enabled

此为配置文件中aof-load-truncated的默认配置和官方的详细说明文档

# An AOF file may be found to be truncated at the end during the Redis# startup process, when the AOF data gets loaded back into memory.# This may happen when the system where Redis is running# crashes, especially when an ext4 filesystem is mounted without the# data=ordered option (however this can't happen when Redis itself# crashes or aborts but the operating system still works correctly).## Redis can either exit with an error when this happens, or load as much# data as possible (the default now) and start if the AOF file is found# to be truncated at the end. The following option controls this behavior.## If aof-load-truncated is set to yes, a truncated AOF file is loaded and# the Redis server starts emitting a log to inform the user of the event.# Otherwise if the option is set to no, the server aborts with an error# and refuses to start. When the option is set to no, the user requires# to fix the AOF file using the "redis-check-aof" utility before to restart# the server.## Note that if the AOF file will be found to be corrupted in the middle# the server will still exit with an error. This option only applies when# Redis will try to read more data from the AOF file but not enough bytes# will be found.aof-load-truncated yes

AOF追加阻塞

当开启AOF持久化时，常用的同步硬盘的策略是everysec，用于平衡性能和数据安全性。对于这种方式，Redis使用另一条线程每秒执行fsync同步硬盘。当系统硬盘资源繁忙时，会造成Redis主线程阻塞。如下图所示：

1. 主线程负责写入AOF缓冲区

2. AOF线程负责每秒执行一次同步磁盘操作，并记录最近一次同步时间

3. 主线程负责对比上次AOF同步时间：

   • 如果距上次同步成功时间在2秒内，主线程直接返回
   • 如果距上次同步成功时间超过2秒，主线程将会阻塞，直到同步操作完成

AOF阻塞问题定位:

1. 发生AOF阻塞时，Redis输出如下日志，用于记录AOF fsync阻塞导致拖慢Redis服务的行为：

Asynchronous AOF fsync is taking too long (disk is busy). Writing the AOF bufferwithout waiting for fsync to complete, this may slow down Redis

2. 每当发生AOF追加阻塞事件发生时，在info Persistence统计中，aof_delayed_fsync指标会累加，查看这个指标方便定位AOF阻塞问题

3. AOF同步最多允许2秒的延迟，当延迟发生时说明硬盘存在高负载问题，可以通过监控工具如iotop，定位消耗硬盘IO资源的进程
