Redis Bgrewriteaof Command
The Redis Bgrewriteaof command is used to asynchronously execute an AOF (AppendOnly File) rewrite operation. The rewrite creates a size-optimized version of the current AOF file.
Even if Bgrewriteaof fails, no data will be lost, because the old AOF file will not be modified before Bgrewriteaof succeeds.
Note:Since Redis 2.4, AOF rewriting is triggered automatically by Redis. BGREWRITEAOF is only used to manually trigger the rewrite operation.
