Renaming commands and AOF

[finid]

In the Redis configuration, there's this warning in the command-renaming section:

# Please note that changing the name of commands that are logged into the
# AOF file or transmitted to slaves may cause problems.

What's the nature of the problem and what's the solution?

TIA

The commands are logged to the AOF and replicated to the slave the same way they are sent, so if you try to replay the AOF on an instance that doesn't have the same renaming, you may face inconsistencies as the command cannot be executed (same for slaves).

Keep in mind that this issue tracker should be used for bugs or improvements to the Redis server. For questions like yours please ask on the mailing list or ask in the irc channel #redis on freenode.

Thanks. I'll ask my follow up question on the mailing list

How does this apply to standalone Redis installations?

As I told you: the command is saved as is in the AOF. You need to make sure that the instance loading that AOF has the same renamed commands.
