Sentinel(Redis 3.0.0-rc1)
Sentinel是Redis HA方案，一个或多个Sentinel实例组成的Sentinel系统，可以监视任意多个主服务器(master)，
以及这些主服务器属下的所有从服务器(slave)，并在被监视的主服务器进入下线状态时，自动在将被下线主服务器属下的某个从服务器升级为新的主服务器，
然后由新的主服务器代替已下线的主服务器继续处理命令请求。
基础数据结构
typedef struct sentinelRedisInstance {
// 当前实例的类型和状态(master, slave, sentinel，是否下线)

// 实例的地址

mstime_t last_avail_time; /* Last time the instance replied to ping with
a reply we consider valid. */

context of the current command connection
with the instance. 0 if still not sent or
if pong already received. */
mstime_t last_pong_time; /* Last time the instance replied to ping,

/* Role and the first time we observed it.

} sentinel;Sentinel初始化
启动命令：
redis-sentinel /path/to/sentinel.conf或者
redis-server /path/to/sentinel.conf --sentinelSentinel启动的时候，必须指定配置文件，最小配置类似：
sentinel monitor mymaster 127.0.0.1 6379 2
sentinel down-after-milliseconds mymaster 60000
sentinel failover-timeout mymaster 180000
sentinel parallel-syncs mymaster 1这个配置文件表示，当前sentinel监视一个Redis master(mymaster)，ip为127.0.0.1，端口为6379，
需要两个sentinel声明下线，才进行主备切换。mymaster 60000ms未响应标记为失效。
在main函数中，会直接对sentinel启动特殊的配置：
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
...
if (server.sentinel_mode) {
initSentinelConfig();
initSentinel();
}
...
}首先是覆盖redis server的端口设置，sentinel会默认监听在26379端口：
#define REDIS_SENTINEL_PORT 26379
void initSentinelConfig(void) {
server.port = REDIS_SENTINEL_PORT;
}然后覆盖server的命令表格，初始化sentinel对象：
void initSentinel(void) {
unsigned int j;
/* 清空Redis支持的命令表格，改成sentinel支持的命令表格
dictEmpty(server.commands,NULL);
for (j = 0; j < sizeof(sentinelcmds)/sizeof(sentinelcmds[0]); j++) {
int retval;
struct redisCommand *cmd = sentinelcmds+j;
retval = dictAdd(server.commands, sdsnew(cmd->name), cmd);
redisAssert(retval == DICT_OK);
}
/* Initialize various data structures. */
sentinel.current_epoch = 0;
sentinel.masters = dictCreate(&instancesDictType,NULL);
sentinel.tilt = 0;
sentinel.tilt_start_time = 0;
sentinel.previous_time = mstime();
sentinel.running_scripts = 0;
sentinel.scripts_queue = listCreate();
sentinel.announce_ip = NULL;
sentinel.announce_port = 0;
}Remove usual Redis commands from the command table, then just add
* the SENTINEL command. */
//sentinel只能支持监控相关的命令，无法执行通常的Redis命令，sentinel可以支持的命令表格为：
struct redisCommand sentinelcmds[] = {
{"ping",pingCommand,1,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"sentinel",sentinelCommand,-2,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"subscribe",subscribeCommand,-2,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"unsubscribe",unsubscribeCommand,-1,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"psubscribe",psubscribeCommand,-2,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"punsubscribe",punsubscribeCommand,-1,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"publish",sentinelPublishCommand,3,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"info",sentinelInfoCommand,-1,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"role",sentinelRoleCommand,1,"l",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0},
{"shutdown",shutdownCommand,-1,"",0,NULL,0,0,0,0,0}
};同时，由于sentinel不接受Redis普通命令，因此初始化的时候，也不会去加载rdb文件等原始数据。
