In Redis Cluster, each node keeps track of which master is serving a particular hash slot. The `DELSLOTS` command asks a particular Redis Cluster node to forget which master is serving the hash slots specified as arguments. In the context of a node that has received a `DELSLOTS` command and has consequently removed the associations for the passed hash slots, we say those hash slots are _unbound_. Note that the existence of unbound hash slots occurs naturally when a node has not been configured to handle them (something that can be done with the `ADDSLOTS` command) and if it has not received any information about who owns those hash slots (something that it can learn from heartbeat or update messages). If a node with unbound hash slots receives a heartbeat packet from another node that claims to be the owner of some of those hash slots, the association is established instantly. Moreover, if a heartbeat or update message is received with a configuration epoch greater than the node's own, the association is re-established. However, note that: 1. The command only works if all the specified slots are already associated with some node. 2. The command fails if the same slot is specified multiple times. 3. As a side effect of the command execution, the node may go into _down_ state because not all hash slots are covered. ## Example The following command removes the association for slots 5000 and 5001 from the node receiving the command: > CLUSTER DELSLOTS 5000 5001 OK ## Usage in Redis Cluster This command only works in cluster mode and may be useful for debugging and in order to manually orchestrate a cluster configuration when a new cluster is created. It is currently not used by `redis-trib`, and mainly exists for API completeness. @return @simple-string-reply: `OK` if the command was successful. Otherwise an error is returned.
