前言
即上篇文章介绍的跟过期相关的命令，以及整个过期键的存储过程，这篇文章可以说是过期键的终极篇，主要讲过期键的管理策略
过期键清理相关策略
过期键清理主要分为两大类
1， 被动清理
2， 主动清理
被动清理
redis 本身就是一个key/value的系统即所有的操作都会涉及到对key的操作，即所有对key的操作都可能触发被动清理过期键，即如果发现当前键已经过期，则对该键走过期流程
具体我们来看get相关的代码来做一个例子
get 的代码方法进入后会调用以下的方法
* The return value of the function is 0 if the key is still valid,
* otherwise the function returns 1 if the key is expired. */
int expireIfNeeded(redisDb *db, robj *key) {
//查找键是否过期
if (!keyIsExpired(db,key)) return 0;
/* If we are running in the context of a slave, instead of
* evicting the expired key from the database, we return ASAP:
* the slave key expiration is controlled by the master that will
* send us synthesized DEL operations for expired keys.
*
* Still we try to return the right information to the caller,
* that is, 0 if we think the key should be still valid, 1 if
* we think the key is expired at this time. *
//如果当前的访问不是在主节点，则直接返回，但是返回客户端仍然为null，再更上层的方法会有说明
if (server.masterhost != NULL) return 1;
/* Delete the key */
//统计过期键
server.stat_expiredkeys++;
//这个方法主要服务于同步通知到aof的记录，和同步从节点的操作
propagateExpire(db,key,server.lazyfree_lazy_expire);
//发布一个过期策略,这个主要涉及到的是redis 事务 watch 的监听，和日志
notifyKeyspaceEvent(NOTIFY_EXPIRED,
"expired",key,db->id);
//采用同步删除还是异步删除 ，具体的异步
int retval = server.lazyfree_lazy_expire ? dbAsyncDelete(db,key) :
dbSyncDelete(db,key);
if (retval) signalModifiedKey(NULL,db,key);
return retval;
}
get的方法入口可以在源码 t_string.c 看到
get方法主流程
getCommand->getGenericCommand->lookupKeyReadOrReply->
lookupKeyRead->lookupKeyReadWithFlags->expireIfNeeded
业务流程就是
先查询是否过期->过期则执行删除操作（这里指的主节点的操作）->过期则返回客户端为null结果，同时会记录到redis的命中率里面去
**总结：**显然仅仅通过这种被动策略的清理远远达不到，及时清理内存的目的，可能为此频繁触发，内存满了而不得不进行lru 策略或者lfu 策略，这样会给系统造成大的停顿。所以好的解决思路应该是能够在空闲的时候，将不必要的内存给清理到，那么有了以下的主动清理策略。
主动清理流程
在开始讲主动清理流程我们看作者代码的一段注释
/* This is our timer interrupt, called server.hz times per second.
//这里我们有许多事情要去做异步处理（即现在是同步处理）
* Here is where we do a number of things that need to be done asynchronously.
* For instance:
* 主动过期键集合（可以一种惰性查询的方式，大概意思是这个清理流程不是一次清理干净，将一些工作延后处理具体我们下面会具体分析到）
* - Active expired keys collection** (it is also performed in a lazy way on
* lookup).
* - Software watchdog.
* - Update some statistic.
* - Incremental rehashing of the DBs hash tables.
* - Triggering BGSAVE / AOF rewrite, and handling of terminated children.
* - Clients timeout of different kinds.
* - Replication reconnection.
* - Many more...
*
* Everything directly called here will be called server.hz times per second,
* so in order to throttle execution of things we want to do less frequently
* a macro is used: run_with_period(milliseconds) { .... }
*/
这里有一个关键信息我们的主动删除策略是在主流程里面，
主流程最主要就是包括我们所有的数据处理主流程，即我们理解redis是单线程，其单线程就是指的这个主流程，即目前现在所有数据处理仍然是没有冲突的
既然主动删除策略是在主流程里面， 那么我们就要对于这个策略必须有几点定位，
1， 不能阻塞主流程。
2， 最好能闲时处理。
3， 根据不同的情况执行的情况，比如我们过期键占用比较高，我们希望清理出更多的内存出来。
带着上面三个诉求我们来看redis 作者是如何来涉及的。
主动删除策略里面也分为两种删除策略：
- 慢速周期
- 快速周期
慢速周期：
慢速周期的特点执行频率慢，但是每次执行时间长。
在很多文章里面讲到了，cpu的使用率，其实在单线程里面，时间即cpu的使用率，可以看到慢速周期在极限情况下，每秒最多执行250ms ，即占用总的主的流程里面的25%的cpu。
快速周期
快速周期的特点执行频率更快，但是执行时间短
快速周期会被before sleep 触发但是并不是在所有情况下都会执行，只有在满足特定条件会触发。 下面会在代码里面做详细说明
/* Try to expire a few timed out keys. The algorithm used is adaptive and
* will use few CPU cycles if there are few expiring keys, otherwise
* it will get more aggressive to avoid that too much memory is used by
* keys that can be removed from the keyspace.
* 函数尝试删除数据库中已经过期的键。
* 当带有过期时间的键比较少时，函数运行得比较保守，
* 如果带有过期时间的键比较多，那么函数会以更积极的方式来删除过期键，
* 从而可能地释放被过期键占用的内存。
* Every expire cycle tests multiple databases: the next call will start
* again from the next db, with the exception of exists for time limit: in that
* case we restart again from the last database we were processing. Anyway
* no more than CRON_DBS_PER_CALL databases are tested at every iteration.
* 所有的数据库都会被访问到，如果因为时间限制,那么下次清理还会从这个db 开始， 每次循环中被测试的数据库数目不会超过 REDIS_DBCRON_DBS_PER_CALL 。
* The function can perform more or less work, depending on the "type"
* argument. It can execute a "fast cycle" or a "slow cycle". The slow
* cycle is the main way we collect expired cycles: this happens with
* the "server.hz" frequency (usually 10 hertz).
* 方法可能会有快速循环和慢速循环两个种类，取决我们的"类型"内容，通常我们会会用到慢速循环，每秒运行10次，会跟我们的server.hz 这个变量有关系
* However the slow cycle can exit for timeout, since it used too much time.
* For this reason the function is also invoked to perform a fast cycle
* at every event loop cycle, in the beforeSleep() function. The fast cycle
* will try to perform less work, but will do it much more often.
* 如果慢速周期存在超时存在，因此花费更多的时间，基于此理由我们会转换城快速周期，快速周期每次运行时间会变更短，但是会执行的更频繁，
* 在beforeSleep 这个方法会执行到快速周期这个方法
* The following are the details of the two expire cycles and their stop
* conditions:
*
* If type is ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST the function will try to run a
* "fast" expire cycle that takes no longer than EXPIRE_FAST_CYCLE_DURATION
* microseconds, and is not repeated again before the same amount of time.
* The cycle will also refuse to run at all if the latest slow cycle did not
* terminate because of a time limit condition.
* 如果类型等于 ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST 这个常量 ，将会运行快速周期，快速周期总的运行时间
* 快速周期不会超过EXPIRE_FAST_CYCLE_DURATION， 然后不会再单位时间里面再重复执行
* 如果最近的慢周期还没有结束，也不会启动快周期的运行。
* If type is ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_SLOW, that normal expire cycle is
* executed, where the time limit is a percentage of the REDIS_HZ period
* as specified by the ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_SLOW_TIME_PERC define. In the
* fast cycle, the check of every database is interrupted once the number
* of already expired keys in the database is estimated to be lower than
* a given percentage, in order to avoid doing too much work to gain too
* little memory.
*
* The configured expire "effort" will modify the baseline parameters in
* order to do more work in both the fast and slow expire cycles.

}
大流程图如下：
其中看代码的时候 有以下几个要点要注意
- fast cycle 执行，上文有说过它是通过before sleep 来触发的，那什么时候before sleep 在哪里触发了
before sleep 会在主循环里面会被调用到，或者在处理rdb/aof过程中调用到，但是要注意到下面一句话， expire key 只会在主循环里面会被涉及（这里应该也是涉及到数据一致性的问题）
- fast cycle的执行条件是必须上一次退出是因为超时而退出且，上一个快速执行周期时间已经过去，默认情况下一个cycle的执行周期为1000微秒
- 作者代码也很巧妙，每次执行都会遍历不同的db，加入一个db的expired 的占比比较高，但下一个执行周期会跳过，这样能保证redis里面的每个db都能回收内存。
- 我们通过active-expire-effort 来调节每个过期周期时间长，和调低整个过期键的占用比率，即active-expire-effort 越大，花费在过期键的时间越长具体可以参照上面的代码注释。
总结：
以上代码都是以redis 6.0.7的最新代码，首先可以看出目前主的数据处理流程还是单线程，作者的所有代码都讲究平衡时间的占比，包括过期键的周期处理时间，以及执行效率，再以上代码都有很完整的体现。但是未来是一个多核的时代，个人猜想redis应该会打破这种完全数据不冲突的情况，从而真正的变成一个多线程的处理的redis， 但是从目前的结构来说 ，如果真的是要多线程redis，可能整个redis 架构是会有大的变动的，单数据处理变成一个多线处理的情况， 各自的处理不再阻塞其它流程，所考虑问题应会从控制单位时间执行时长变化成如何减少这些操作的相互竞争。
