# Command renaming.

# It is possible to change the name of dangerous commands in a shared # environment.

# For instance the CONFIG command may be renamed into something # hard to guess so that it will still be available for internal-use tools

# but not available for general clients. #

# Example: #

# rename-command CONFIG b840fc02d524045429941cc15f59e41cb7be6c52 #

# It is also possible to completely kill a command by renaming it into

# an empty string:

#

# rename-command CONFIG ""

I'm a big Redis fan, and have used most of its power, including the great HyperLogLog stuff, I never really looked at the CONFIG command and would not have imagined it would allow such things even.

Is CONFIG commonly used? What are the use cases?
