RDMA is the abbreviation of remote direct memory access. It is a technology that enables computers in a network to exchange data in the main memory without involving the processor, cache, or operating system of either computer. This means RDMA has a better performance than TCP, the test results show Valkey Over RDMA has a ~2.5X QPS and lower latency. In recent years, RDMA gets popular in the data center, especially RoCE(RDMA over Converged Ethernet) architecture has been widely used. Cloud Vendors also start to support RDMA instance in order to accelerate networking performance. End-user would enjoy the improvement easily. Introduce Valkey Over RDMA protocol as a new transport for Valkey. For now, we defined 4 commands: - GetServerFeature & SetClientFeature: the two commands are used to negotiate features for further extension. There is no feature definition in this version. Flow control and multi-buffer may be supported in the future, this needs feature negotiation. - Keepalive - RegisterXferMemory: the heart to transfer the real payload. The 'TX buffer' and 'RX buffer' are designed by RDMA remote memory with RDMA write/write with imm, it's similar to several mechanisms introduced by papers(but not same): - Socksdirect: datacenter sockets can be fast and compatible <https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3341302.3342071> - LITE Kernel RDMA Support for Datacenter Applications <https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3132747.3132762> - FaRM: Fast Remote Memory <https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/nsdi14/nsdi14-paper-dragojevic.pdf> Thanks to Daniel House for review suggestions!
