Redis slave does not disconnect

[Kevin Peterson]

I'm doing replication between datacenters. I'm seeing a problem that I
don't understand what is going on. The slave stops receiving updates,
master_last_io_seconds_ago keeps going up, but the master link status
still says 'up'.

There is nothing in the logs on either master or slave -- I see saves
to disk, then it just stops, then it starts up again when I do
slaveof.

What is the expected behavior? I assumed that it would drop the
connection and say master link status down or similar.

I don't see this reported yet. Issue 203 deals with breaking the
connection during the initial sync. This might be related to 181
although that is also phrased as initial sync. Also, slave is still
responsive, it just doesn't have any updates since it stopped getting
data.

Hello Kevin, what Redis version? This should work well in the latest
2.2 branch on github, and in the lastet 2.2 RC release.

Cheers,
Salvatore

This was with 2.0.3. I'll try 2.2. It looks like the master-slave PING is specifically fixing this issue.
