Summary

Adds the READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES read strategy to the PHP client, wiring up the binding surface for the AZAffinityAllNodes strategy (protobuf value 6) that already exists in glide-core. The strategy spreads read requests equally, in round robin, across all nodes in the client's Availability Zone (primary and replicas alike), falling back to a round robin across all nodes when no in-AZ node is available. Unlike READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_REPLICAS_AND_PRIMARY, it does not prioritize replicas ahead of the primary, which enables an even per-node read distribution on ElastiCache deployments that hit the 5 replica cap.

Issue link

This Pull Request is linked to issue: [Task] PHP: Add READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES read strategy
Closes #316

Features / Behaviour Changes

  • New ValkeyGlide::READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES (value 4) read strategy, available for both standalone and cluster clients.
  • AZ-affinity read strategies now require a client AZ. Selecting AZ_AFFINITY, AZ_AFFINITY_REPLICAS_AND_PRIMARY, or AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES without a client_az throws a ValkeyGlideException at client creation instead of silently falling back to arbitrary nodes. A client_az that is empty or whitespace-only is treated as absent.

Implementation

  • common.h: added VALKEY_GLIDE_READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES = 4 to valkey_glide_read_from_t.
  • valkey_glide.stub.php: added the READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES class constant with a docblock describing the round-robin behaviour and fallback (arginfo header regenerated during build).
  • valkey_glide.c: mapped input read_from value 4 to the new enum, and added AZ validation covering all three AZ-affinity strategies in the shared valkey_glide_build_client_config_base (so standalone, cluster, and monitor paths are all covered). A whitespace-only client_az resolves to absent so the strategy is rejected rather than engaged with a value that matches no node — only the borrowed PHP pointer is forwarded, never a copy, so config memory ownership is unchanged.
  • valkey_glide_core_commands.c: mapped the new enum to CONNECTION_REQUEST__READ_FROM__AZAffinityAllNodes in create_connection_request().
  • examples/basic/configuration.php: documented the new value and the client_az requirement.
  • CHANGELOG.md: added an Unreleased entry.

Reviewer note: the validation lives in the shared config-build helper rather than in each constructor, so both client types and the monitor path enforce it consistently.

Limitations

  • No read-only-mode incompatibility check (present in the Java/Go clients) — the PHP extension has no client-level read-only connection mode, so there is nothing to guard. The only "read-only" surface in PHP is read-only commands (SORT_RO, EVAL_RO, FCALL_RO).
  • Validation rejects a blank/whitespace-only client_az but does not normalize (trim) a padded-but-valid value before forwarding it, since client_az is a borrowed PHP pointer and trimming would require changing its memory ownership. This is out of scope for the issue.
  • Test coverage is at the connection-request/config level (via the mock, no server required), matching the issue checklist. No live AZ-routing integration test is included.

Testing

  • Added to tests/ConnectionRequestTest.php:
    • standalone + cluster protobuf mapping for AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES,
    • standalone + cluster rejection when client_az is unset,
    • a parameterized check that all three AZ strategies require client_az (each error names its own strategy) on both client types,
    • a check that non-AZ strategies (PRIMARY, PREFER_REPLICA) do not require client_az,
    • a blank/whitespace-only client_az rejection check ('', ' ', '\t', '\n', …).
  • Full ConnectionRequestTest suite: 114 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.
  • make builds the extension cleanly; ./lint-php.sh passes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PHP binding adds READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES with value 4. It maps the strategy to the core request, validates client_az, updates documentation, and adds standalone and cluster tests.

Changes

AZ affinity all-nodes strategy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Strategy contract and configuration surface
common.h, valkey_glide.stub.php, examples/basic/configuration.php, CHANGELOG.md
The public enum and PHP constant define READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY_ALL_NODES = 4. Configuration comments and the changelog document the strategy and its client_az requirement.
Connection mapping and validation
valkey_glide.c, valkey_glide_core_commands.c
The connection builder recognizes the new strategy, treats blank client_az values as absent, rejects NUL-containing and surrounding-whitespace values, and requires nonblank client_az for all AZ-affinity strategies. The core request maps the strategy to AZAffinityAllNodes.
Strategy behavior tests
tests/ConnectionRequestTest.php, tests/ValkeyGlideClusterFeaturesTest.php, tests/ValkeyGlideFeaturesTest.php
Tests cover the new strategy for standalone and cluster clients, validate required availability zones, reject invalid client_az values, and preserve behavior for non-AZ strategies.

🟡 Minor · Provide client_az for the AZ-affinity example.

examples/basic/configuration.php:310
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Provide client_az for the AZ-affinity example.

The loop includes AZ_AFFINITY (2) and does not exclude it. The earlier $client_az variable is null, and this connect() call does not pass client_az. The C validation maps read_from: 2 to AZ_AFFINITY and calls zend_throw_exception when client_az is absent, so this iteration fails during client creation. Pass a nonblank availability zone or exclude 2 from this loop.

Configure and forward client_az for AZ-affinity reads. The loop reaches READ_FROM_AZ_AFFINITY, but its connect call does not pass client_az. Because $client_az is null, validation rejects that iteration. Set and forward a nonblank $client_az, or remove the AZ-affinity mode from the loop.

Pass client_az for the AZ-affinity example. When read_from: 2 selects AZ_AFFINITY, the constructor omits client_az. Connection validation rejects the configuration because client_az is required and must be nonblank. Add an example AZ at this configuration site.

Both notes are inline and non-blocking. The AZ-normalization one is the substantive one and worth an explicit decision either way, since the sibling bindings disagree: Node's merged fix trims before forwarding, while valkey-glide-ruby#318 argues against rewriting the caller's value and would reject instead.
