&iuml;&raquo;&iquest;= Append Only File HOWTO =<h2><a name="General Information">General Information</a></h2>Append only file is an alternative durability option for Redis. What this mean? Let's start with some fact:<br/><br/><ul><li> For default Redis saves snapshots of the dataset on disk, in a binary file called dump.rdb (by default at least). For instance you can configure Redis to save the dataset every 60 seconds if there are at least 100 changes in the dataset, or every 1000 seconds if there is at least a single change in the dataset. This is known as &quot;Snapshotting&quot;.</li><li> Snapshotting is not very durable. If your computer running Redis stops, your power line fails, or you write killall -9 redis-server for a mistake, the latest data written on Redis will get lost. There are applications where this is not a big deal. There are applications where this is not acceptable and Redis <b>was</b> not an option for this applications.</li></ul>
What is the solution? To use append only file as alternative to snapshotting. How it works?<br/><br/><ul><li> It is an 1.1 only feature.</li><li> You have to turn it on editing the configuration file. Just make sure you have &quot;appendonly yes&quot; somewhere.</li><li> Append only files work this way: every time Redis receive a command that changes the dataset (for instance a SET or LPUSH command) it appends this command in the append only file. When you restart Redis it will first <b>re-play</b> the append only file to rebuild the state.</li></ul>
<h2><a name="Log rewriting">Log rewriting</a></h2>As you can guess... the append log file gets bigger and bigger, every time there is a new operation changing the dataset. Even if you set always the same key &quot;mykey&quot; to the values of &quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, &quot;3&quot;, ... up to 10000000000 in the end you'll have just a single key in the dataset, just a few bytes! but how big will be the append log file? Very very big.<br/><br/>So Redis supports an interesting feature: it is able to rebuild the append log file, in background, without to stop processing client commands. The key is the command <a href="BGREWRITEAOF.html">BGREWRITEAOF</a>. This command basically is able to use the dataset in memory in order to rewrite the shortest sequence of commands able to rebuild the exact dataset that is currently in memory.<br/><br/>So from time to time when the log gets too big, try this command. It's safe as if it fails you will not lost your old log (but you can make a backup copy given that currently 1.1 is still in beta!).<h2><a name="Wait... but how does this work?">Wait... but how does this work?</a></h2>Basically it uses the same fork() copy-on-write trick that snapshotting already uses. This is how the algorithm works:<br/><br/><ul><li> Redis forks, so now we have a child and a parent.</li><li> The child starts writing the new append log file in a temporary file.</li><li> The parent accumulates all the new changes in an in-memory buffer.</li><li> When the child finished to rewrite the file, the parent gets a signal, and append the in-memory buffer at the end of the file generated by the child.</li><li> Profit! Now Redis atomically renames the old file into the new one, and starts appending new data into the new file.</li></ul>
<h2><a name="How durable is the append only file?">How durable is the append only file?</a></h2>Check redis.conf, you can configure how many times Redis will fsync() data on disk. There are three options:<br/><br/><ul><li> Fsync() every time a new command is appended to the append log file. Very very slow, very safe.</li><li> Fsync() one time every second. Fast enough, and you can lose 1 second of data if there is a disaster.</li><li> Never fsync(), just put your data in the hands of the Operating System. The faster and unsafer method.</li></ul>
Warning: by default Redis will fsync() after <b>every command</b>! This is because the Redis authors want to ship a default configuration that is the safest pick. But the best compromise for most datasets is to fsync() one time every second.

if your are asking yourself how is Redis different fom other key-value stores here you will find it compared to some of the most popular contendors (all great software) in this category. <h2><a name="Memcached">Memcached</a></h2><ul><li> Memcached is not persistent, it just holds everything in memory without saving since its main goal is to be used as a cache, while Redis is <a href="Persistence.html">persistent</a>.</li></ul>
<ul><li> Like memcached Redis uses a key-value model, but while keys can just be strings, values in Redis can be <a href="Lists.html">Lists</a>, <a href="Sets.html">Sets</a> or <a href="OrderedSets.html">OrderedSets</a> and complex operations like intersections, set/get n-th element of lists, pop/push of elements, can be performed against sets and lists.</li></ul>
<h2><a name="Tokyo Cabinet / Toyo Tyrant">Tokyo Cabinet / Toyo Tyrant</a></h2>Redis and Tokyo Cabinet can be used for the same applications, but actually they are <i>very different</i> beasts. If you read Twitter messages of people involved in scalable things both products are reported to work well, but surely there are times where one or the other can be the best choice.<br/><br/><ul><li> Tokyo Cabinet writes synchronously on disk, Redis takes the whole dataset on memory and writes on disk asynchronously. Tokyo Cabinet is safer and probably a better idea if your dataset is going to be bigger than RAM, but Redis is faster (note that Redis supports master-slave replication that is trivial to setup, so you are safe anyway if you want a setup where data can't be lost even after a disaster). </li></ul>
<ul><li> Redis supports higher level operations and data structures. Tokyo Cabinet supports a kind of database that is able to organize data into rows with named fields (in a way very similar to Berkeley DB) but can't do things like server side List and Set operations Redis is able to do: pushing or popping from Lists in an atomic way, in O(1) time complexity, server side Set intersections, Sorting of schema free data in complex ways (By the way TC supports sorting in the table-based database format). Redis on the other hand does not support the abstraction of tables with fields, the idea is that you can build this stuff in software easily if you really need a table-alike approach. </li></ul>
<ul><li> Tokyo Cabinet does not implement a networking layer. You have to use a networking layer called Tokyo Tyrant that interfaces to Tokyo Cabinet so you can talk to Tokyo Cabinet in a client-server fashion. In Redis the networking support is built-in inside the server, and is basically the only interface between the external world and the dataset. </li></ul>
<ul><li> Redis is reported to be much faster, especially if you plan to access Tokyo Cabinet via Tokyo Tyrant. Here I can only say that with Redis you can expect 100,000 operations/seconds with a normal Linux box and 50 concurrent clients. You should test Redis, Tokyo, and the other alternatives with your specific work load to get a feeling about performances for your application. </li></ul>
<ul><li> Redis is not an on-disk DB engine like Tokyo: the latter can be used as a fast DB engine in your C project without the networking overhead just linking to the library. Still in many scalable applications you need multiple servers talking with multiple clients, so the client-server model is almost always needed, this is why in Redis this is built-in. </li></ul>

<blockquote>Voltile keys are stored on disk like the other keys, the timeout is persistenttoo like all the other aspects of the dataset. Saving a dataset containingthe dataset and stopping the server does not stop the flow of time as Redisregisters on disk when the key will no longer be available as Unix time, andnot the remaining seconds.</blockquote>
<blockquote>EXPIREAT works exctly like EXPIRE but instead to get the number of secondsrepresenting the Time To Live of the key as a second argument (that is arelative way of specifing the TTL), it takes an absolute one in the form ofa UNIX timestamp (Number of seconds elapsed since 1 Gen 1970).</blockquote>
<blockquote>EXPIREAT was introduced in order to implement [Persistence append only saving mode] so that EXPIRE commands are automatically translated into EXPIREAT commands for the append only file. Of course EXPIREAT can alsoused by programmers that need a way to simply specify that a given key should expire at a given time in the future.</blockquote>

<h2><a name="Restrictions with write operations against volatile keys">Restrictions with write operations against volatile keys</a></h2><blockquote>Write operations like LPUSH, LSET and every other command that has theeffect of modifying the value stored at a volatile key have a special semantic:basically a volatile key is destroyed when it is target of a write operation.See for example the following usage pattern:</blockquote>
<pre class="codeblock python" name="code">
% ./redis-cli lpush mylist foobar /Users/antirez/hack/redis

</pre><blockquote>What happened here is that lpush against the key with a timeout set deletedthe key before to perform the operation. There is so a simple rule, writeoperations against volatile keys will destroy the key before to perform theoperation. Why Redis uses this behavior? In order to retain an importantproperty: a server that receives a given number of commands in the samesequence will end with the same dataset in memory. Without the delete-on-writesemantic what happens is that the state of the server depends on the timeof the commands to. This is not a desirable property in a distributed databasethat supports replication.</blockquote>
<h2><a name="Setting the timeout again on already volatile keys">Setting the timeout again on already volatile keys</a></h2><blockquote>Trying to call EXPIRE against a key that already has an associated timeoutwill not change the timeout of the key, but will just return 0.

<h1><a name="Features (DRAFT)">Features (DRAFT)</a></h1>Checking Redis for the first time? Here your will find the most important features, and pointers to a lot more information.<h2><a name="Speed">Speed</a></h2>Redis is written in ANSI C, and loads the whole dataset in memory, so it is wicked <i><b>fast</b>!</i> Up to 110,000 SETs/second, 81,000 GETs/second can be achieved in an entry level Linux box. Read more about Redis <a href="Speed.html">Speed</a>.<br/><br/>Also Redis supports <a href="Pipelining.html">Pipelining</a> of commands and <a href="MultiBulkCommands.html">getting and setting m&Atilde;&ordm;ltiple values in a single command</a> to speed up communication with the client libraries.<h2><a name="Persistence">Persistence</a></h2>While all the data lives in memory, changes are <i>asynchronously</i> saved on disk using flexible policies based on elapsed time and/or number of updates since last save. <br/><br/>If you can't afford losing some data, starting on version 1.1 (currently in beta but you can download it from the Git repository) Redis supports an append-only file persistence mode. Check more on <a href="Persistence.html">Persistence</a>, or read the <a href="AppendOnlyFileHowto.html">AppendOnlyFileHowto</a> for more information.<h2><a name="Support for Data Structures">Support for Data Structures</a></h2>Values in Redis can be <a href="Strings.html">Strings</a> as in a conventional key-value store, but also <a href="Lists.html">Lists</a>, <a href="Sets.html">Sets</a>, and <a href="OrderedSets.html">OrderedSets</a> (to be support in <a href="RoadMap.html">version 1.1</a>). This data types allow pushing/poping elements, or adding/removing them, also perform server side union, intersection, difference between sets, and so forth depending on the types. Redis supports different kind of sorting abilities for <a href="Sets.html">Sets</a> and <a href="Lists.html">Lists</a>.<br/><br/>You can think in Redis as a <b>Data Structures Server</b>, that allows you to model non trivial problems.

<h1><a name="Pipelining (DRAFT)">Pipelining (DRAFT)</a></h1>A client library can use the same connection in order to issue multiple commands.

All the replies can be read at the end.<br/><br/>Usually Redis server and client will have a very fast link so this is not very important to support this feature in a client implementation, still if an application needs to issue a very large number of commands in s short time, using pipelining can be much faster.<br/><br/>Please read the <a href="ProtocolSpecification.html">ProtocolSpecification</a> if you want to learn more about the way Redis <a href="SupportedLanguages.html">clients</a> and the server communicate.<br/><br/>Pipelining is one of the <a href="Speed.html">Speed</a> <a href="Features.html">Features</a> of Redis, you can also check the support for <a href="MultiBulkCommands.html">send and receive multiple values in a single command</a>.

<h1 class="wikiname">ProtocolSpecification</h1>
<div class="summary">
</div>
<div class="narrow">
&iuml;&raquo;&iquest;= Protocol Specification =<br/><br/>The Redis protocol is a compromise between being easy to parse by a computer
and being easy to parse by an human. Before reading this section you are
strongly encouraged to read the &quot;REDIS TUTORIAL&quot; section of this README in order
to get a first feeling of the protocol playing with it by TELNET.<h2><a name="Networking layer">Networking layer</a></h2>A client connects to a Redis server creating a TCP connection to the port 6379.
Every redis command or data transmitted by the client and the server is
terminated by &quot;\r\n&quot; (CRLF).<h2><a name="Simple INLINE commands">Simple INLINE commands</a></h2>The simplest commands are the inline commands. This is an example of a
server/client chat (the server chat starts with S:, the client chat with C:)<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python" name="code">
C: PING
S: +PONG
</pre>An inline command is a CRLF-terminated string sent to the client. The server can reply to commands in different ways:
<ul><li> With an error message (the first byte of the reply will be &quot;-&quot;)</li><li> With a single line reply (the first byte of the reply will be &quot;+)</li><li> With bulk data (the first byte of the reply will be &quot;$&quot;)</li><li> With multi-bulk data, a list of values (the first byte of the reply will be &quot;<code name="code" class="python">*</code>&quot;)</li><li> With an integer number (the first byte of the reply will be &quot;:&quot;)</li></ul>
The following is another example of an INLINE command returning an integer:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python" name="code">
C: EXISTS somekey
S: :0
</pre>Since 'somekey' does not exist the server returned ':0'.<br/><br/>Note that the EXISTS command takes one argument. Arguments are separated
simply by spaces.<h2><a name="Bulk commands">Bulk commands</a></h2>A bulk command is exactly like an inline command, but the last argument
of the command must be a stream of bytes in order to send data to the server.
the &quot;SET&quot; command is a bulk command, see the following example:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python" name="code">
C: SET mykey 6
C: foobar
S: +OK
</pre>The last argument of the commnad is '6'. This specify the number of DATA
bytes that will follow (note that even this bytes are terminated by two
additional bytes of CRLF).<br/><br/>All the bulk commands are in this exact form: instead of the last argument
the number of bytes that will follow is specified, followed by the bytes,
and CRLF. In order to be more clear for the programmer this is the string
sent by the client in the above sample:<br/><br/><blockquote>&quot;SET mykey 6\r\nfoobar\r\n&quot;</blockquote>
<h2><a name="Bulk replies">Bulk replies</a></h2>The server may reply to an inline or bulk command with a bulk reply. See
the following example:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python" name="code">
C: GET mykey
S: $6
S: foobar
</pre>A bulk reply is very similar to the last argument of a bulk command. The
server sends as the first line a &quot;$&quot; byte followed by the number of bytes
of the actual reply followed by CRLF, then the bytes are sent followed by
additional two bytes for the final CRLF. The exact sequence sent by the
server is:<br/><br/><blockquote>&quot;$6\r\nfoobar\r\n&quot;</blockquote>
If the requested value does not exist the bulk reply will use the special
value -1 as data length, example:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python" name="code">
C: GET nonexistingkey
S: $-1
</pre>The client library API should not return an empty string, but a nil object, when the requested object does not exist.
For example a Ruby library should return 'nil' while a C library should return
NULL, and so forth.<h2><a name="Multi-Bulk replies">Multi-Bulk replies</a></h2>Commands similar to LRANGE needs to return multiple values (every element
of the list is a value, and LRANGE needs to return more than a single element). This is accomplished using multiple bulk writes,
prefixed by an initial line indicating how many bulk writes will follow.
The first byte of a multi bulk reply is always <code name="code" class="python">*</code>. Example:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python" name="code">
C: LRANGE mylist 0 3
S: *4
S: $3
S: foo
S: $3
S: bar
S: $5
S: Hello
S: $5
S: World
</pre>The first line the server sent is &quot;<b>4\r\n&quot; in order to specify that four bulk
write will follow. Then every bulk write is transmitted.<br/><br/>If the specified key does not exist instead of the number of elements in the
list, the special value -1 is sent as count. Example:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python python" name="code">
C: LRANGE nokey 0 1
S: *-1
</pre>A client library API SHOULD return a nil object and not an empty list when this
happens. This makes possible to distinguish between empty list and non existing ones.<h2><a name="Nil elements in Multi-Bulk replies">Nil elements in Multi-Bulk replies</a></h2>Single elements of a multi bulk reply may have -1 length, in order to signal that this elements are missing and not empty strings. This can happen with the SORT command when used with the GET <i>pattern</i> option when the specified key is missing. Example of a multi bulk reply containing an empty element:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python python python" name="code">
S: *3
S: $3
S: foo
S: $-1
S: $3
S: bar
</pre>The second element is nul. The client library should return something like this:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python python python python" name="code">
[&quot;foo&quot;,nil,&quot;bar&quot;]
</pre><h2><a name="Single line reply">Single line reply</a></h2>As already seen a single line reply is in the form of a single line string
starting with &quot;+&quot; terminated by &quot;\r\n&quot;. For example:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python python python python python" name="code">
+OK
</pre>The client library should return everything after the &quot;+&quot;, that is, the string &quot;OK&quot; in the example.<br/><br/>The following commands reply with a status code reply:
PING, SET, SELECT, SAVE, BGSAVE, SHUTDOWN, RENAME, LPUSH, RPUSH, LSET, LTRIM<h2><a name="Integer reply">Integer reply</a></h2>This type of reply is just a CRLF terminated string representing an integer, prefixed by a &quot;:&quot; byte. For example &quot;:0\r\n&quot;, or &quot;:1000\r\n&quot; are integer replies.<br/><br/>With commands like INCR or LASTSAVE using the integer reply to actually return a value there is no special meaning for the returned integer. It is just an incremental number for INCR, a UNIX time for LASTSAVE and so on.<br/><br/>Some commands like EXISTS will return 1 for true and 0 for false.<br/><br/>Other commands like SADD, SREM and SETNX will return 1 if the operation was actually done, 0 otherwise.<br/><br/>The following commands will reply with an integer reply: SETNX, DEL, EXISTS, INCR, INCRBY, DECR, DECRBY, DBSIZE, LASTSAVE, RENAMENX, MOVE, LLEN, SADD, SREM, SISMEMBER, SCARD<h2><a name="Multi bulk commands">Multi bulk commands</a></h2>As you can see with the protocol described so far there is no way to
send multiple binary-safe arguments to a command. With bulk commands the
last argument is binary safe, but there are commands where multiple binary-safe
commands are needed, like the MSET command that is able to SET multiple keys
in a single operation.<br/><br/>In order to address this problem Redis 1.1 introduced a new way of seding
commands to a Redis server, that uses exactly the same protocol of the
multi bulk replies. For instance the following is a SET command using the
normal bulk protocol:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python python python python python python" name="code">
SET mykey 8
myvalue
</pre>While the following uses the multi bulk command protocol:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python python python python python python python python python" name="code">
*3
$3
SET
$5
mykey
$8
myvalue
</pre>Commands sent in this format are longer, so currently they are used only in
order to transmit commands containing multiple binary-safe arguments, but
actually this protocol can be used to send every kind of command, without to
know if it's an inline, bulk or multi-bulk command.<br/><br/>It is possible that in the future Redis will support only this format.<br/><br/>A good client library may implement unknown commands using this
command format in order to support new commands out of the box without
modifications.<h2><a name="Multiple commands and pipelining">Multiple commands and pipelining</a></h2>A client can use the same connection in order to issue multiple commands.
Pipelining is supported so multiple commands can be sent with a single
write operation by the client, it is not needed to read the server reply
in order to issue the next command. All the replies can be read at the end.<br/><br/>Usually Redis server and client will have a very fast link so this is not
very important to support this feature in a client implementation, still
if an application needs to issue a very large number of commands in short
time to use pipelining can be much faster.

<h1><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h1>Redis is a database. To be specific, Redis is a very simple database implementing a dictionary, where every key is associated with a value. For example I can set the key &quot;surname_1992&quot; to the string &quot;Smith&quot;.
What makes Redis different from many other key-value stores, is that every single value has a type. The following types are supported:<br/><br/><ul><li> String</li><li> List</li><li> Set</li><li> Sorted Set (since version 1.1)</li></ul>
The type of a value determines what operations (called commands) are available for the value itself.
For example you can append elements to a list stored at the key &quot;mylist&quot; using the LPUSH or RPUSH command in O(1). Later you'll be able to get a range of elements with LRANGE or trim the list with LTRIM. Sets are very flexible too, it is possible to add and remove elements from Sets (unsorted collections of strings), and then ask for server-side intersection, union, difference of Sets. Each command is performed through server-side atomic operations.
Please refer to the <a href="CommandReference.html">Command Reference</a> to see the full list of operations associated to these data types.<br/><br/>In other words, you can look at Redis as a data structures server. A Redis user is virtually provided with an interface to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_data_type" target="_blank">Abstract Data Types</a>, saving her from the responsibility to implement concrete data structures and algorithms. Indeed both algorithms and data structures in Redis are properly choosed in order to obtain the best performance.<br/><br/>Redis loads and mantains the whole dataset into memory, but the dataset is persistent, since from time to time Redis writes a dump on disk asynchronously. The dataset is loaded from the dump every time the server is (re)started.<br/><br/>Redis can be configured to save the dataset when a certain number of changes is reached and after a given number of seconds elapses. For example, you can configure Redis to save after 1000 changes and at most 60 seconds since the last save. You can specify any combination for these numbers.<br/><br/>Because data is written asynchronously, when a system crash occurs, the last few queries can get lost (that is acceptable in many applications). Anyway it is possible to make this a non issue, since Redis supports master-slave replication from its early days, being effective even in the case where a few records lost are not acceptable.<h1><a name="Beyond key-value databases">Beyond key-value databases</a></h1>All these features allow to use Redis as the sole DB for your scalable application without the need of any relational database. <a href="TwitterAlikeExample.html">We wrote a simple Twitter clone in PHP + Redis</a> to show a real world example, the link points to an article explaining the design and internals in very simple words.<h1><a name="What are the differences between Redis and Memcached?">What are the differences between Redis and Memcached?</a></h1>In the following ways:<br/><br/><ul><li> Memcached is not persistent, it just holds everything in memory without saving since its main goal is to be used as a cache. Redis instead can be used as the main DB for the application. We <a href="TwitterAlikeExample.html">wrote a simple Twitter clone</a> using only Redis as database.</li></ul>
<ul><li> Like memcached Redis uses a key-value model, but while keys can just be strings, values in Redis can be lists and sets, and complex operations like intersections, set/get n-th element of lists, pop/push of elements, can be performed against sets and lists. It is possible to use lists as message queues.</li></ul>
<h1><a name="What are the differences between Redis and Tokyo Cabinet / Tyrant?">What are the differences between Redis and Tokyo Cabinet / Tyrant?</a></h1>Redis and Tokyo Cabinet can be used for the same applications, but actually they are <b>very</b> different beasts. If you read twitter messages of people involved in scalable things both products are reported to work well, but surely there are times where one or the other can be the best choice. Some differences are the followings (I may be biased, make sure to check yourself both the products).<br/><br/><ul><li> Tokyo Cabinet writes synchronously on disk, Redis takes the whole dataset on memory and writes on disk asynchronously. Tokyo Cabinet is safer and probably a better idea if your dataset is going to be bigger than RAM, but Redis is faster (note that Redis supports master-slave replication that is trivial to setup, so you are safe anyway if you want a setup where data can't be lost even after a disaster).</li></ul>
<ul><li> Redis supports higher level operations and data structures. Tokyo Cabinet supports a kind of database that is able to organize data into rows with named fields (in a way very similar to Berkeley DB) but can't do things like server side List and Set operations Redis is able to do: pushing or popping from Lists in an atomic way, in O(1) time complexity, server side Set intersections, <a href="SORT.html">SortCommand</a> ing of schema free data in complex ways (Btw TC supports sorting in the table-based database format). Redis on the other hand does not support the abstraction of tables with fields, the idea is that you can build this stuff in software easily if you really need a table-alike approach.</li></ul>
<ul><li> Tokyo Cabinet does not implement a networking layer. You have to use a networking layer called Tokyo Tyrant that interfaces to Tokyo Cabinet so you can talk to Tokyo Cabinet in a client-server fashion. In Redis the networking support is built-in inside the server, and is basically the only interface between the external world and the dataset.</li></ul>
<ul><li> Redis is reported to be much faster, especially if you plan to access Tokyo Cabinet via Tokyo Tyrant. Here I can only say that with Redis you can expect 100,000 operations/seconds with a normal Linux box and 50 concurrent clients. You should test Redis, Tokyo, and the other alternatives with your specific work load to get a feeling about performances for your application.</li></ul>
<ul><li> Redis is (IMHO) generally an higher level and simpler to use beast in the operations supported, and to get started. <a href="Check.html">the command reference CommandReference</a> to get a feeling. You can even start playing with Redis by telnet after reading the five minutes tutorial at the end of this README file. To implement new client libraries is trivial. <a href="Check.html">the protocol specification ProtocolSpecification</a> for more information.</li></ul><blockquote></blockquote><ul><li> Redis is not an on-disk DB engine like Tokyo: the latter can be used as a fast DB engine in your C project without the networking overhead just linking to the library. Still in many scalable applications you need multiple servers talking with multiple clients, so the client-server model is almost always needed, this is why in Redis this is built-in.</li></ul>
<h1><a name="Does Redis support locking?">Does Redis support locking?</a></h1>No, the idea is to provide atomic primitives in order to make the programmer
able to use redis with locking free algorithms. For example imagine you have
10 computers and one Redis server. You want to count words in a very large text.
This large text is split among the 10 computers, every computer will process
its part and use Redis's INCR command to atomically increment a counter
for every occurrence of the word found.<br/><br/>INCR/DECR are not the only atomic primitives, there are others like PUSH/POP
on lists, POP RANDOM KEY operations, UPDATE and so on. For example you can
use Redis like a Tuple Space (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_space" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_space</a>) in
order to implement distributed algorithms.<br/><br/>(News: locking with key-granularity is now planned)<h1><a name="Multiple databases support">Multiple databases support</a></h1>Another synchronization primitive is the support for multiple DBs. By default DB 0 is selected for every new connection, but using the SELECT command it is possible to select a different database. The MOVE operation can move an item from one DB to another atomically. This can be used as a base for locking free algorithms together with the 'RANDOMKEY' commands.<h1><a name="Redis Data Types">Redis Data Types</a></h1>Redis supports the following three data types as values:<br/><br/><ul><li> Strings: just any sequence of bytes. Redis strings are binary safe so they can not just hold text, but images, compressed data and everything else.</li><li> Lists: lists of strings, with support for operations like append a new string on head, on tail, list length, obtain a range of elements, truncate the list to a given length, sort the list, and so on.</li><li> Sets: an unsorted set of strings. It is possible to add or delete elements from a set, to perform set intersection, union, subtraction, and so on.</li></ul>
Values can be Strings, Lists or Sets. Keys can be a subset of strings not containing newlines (&quot;\n&quot;) and spaces (&quot; &quot;).<br/><br/>Note that sometimes strings may hold numeric vaules that must be parsed by
Redis. An example is the INCR command that atomically increments the number
stored at the specified key. In this case Redis is able to handle integers
that can be stored inside a 'long long' type, that is a 64-bit signed integer.<h2><a name="Implementation Details">Implementation Details</a></h2>Strings are implemented as dynamically allocated strings of characters.
Lists are implemented as doubly linked lists with cached length.
Sets are implemented using hash tables that use chaining to resolve collisions.<h1><a name="Redis Tutorial">Redis Tutorial</a></h1>(note, you can skip this section if you are only interested in &quot;formal&quot; doc.)<br/><br/>Later in this document you can find detailed information about Redis commands,
the protocol specification, and so on. This kind of documentation is useful
but... if you are new to Redis it is also BORING! The Redis protocol is designed
so that is both pretty efficient to be parsed by computers, but simple enough
to be used by humans just poking around with the 'telnet' command, so this
section will show to the reader how to play a bit with Redis to get an initial
feeling about it, and how it works.<br/><br/>To start just compile redis with 'make' and start it with './redis-server'.
The server will start and log stuff on the standard output, if you want
it to log more edit redis.conf, set the loglevel to debug, and restart it.<br/><br/>You can specify a configuration file as unique parameter:<br/><br/><blockquote>./redis-server /etc/redis.conf</blockquote>
This is NOT required. The server will start even without a configuration file
using a default built-in configuration.<br/><br/>Now let's try to set a key to a given value:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python" name="code">
$ telnet localhost 6379
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SET foo 3
bar
+OK
</pre>The first line we sent to the server is &quot;set foo 3&quot;. This means &quot;set the key
foo with the following three bytes I'll send you&quot;. The following line is
the &quot;bar&quot; string, that is, the three bytes. So the effect is to set the
key &quot;foo&quot; to the value &quot;bar&quot;. Very simple!<br/><br/>(note that you can send commands in lowercase and it will work anyway,
commands are not case sensitive)<br/><br/>Note that after the first and the second line we sent to the server there
is a newline at the end. The server expects commands terminated by &quot;\r\n&quot;
and sequence of bytes terminated by &quot;\r\n&quot;. This is a minimal overhead from
the point of view of both the server and client but allows us to play with
Redis with the telnet command easily.<br/><br/>The last line of the chat between server and client is &quot;+OK&quot;. This means
our key was added without problems. Actually SET can never fail but
the &quot;+OK&quot; sent lets us know that the server received everything and
the command was actually executed.<br/><br/>Let's try to get the key content now:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python" name="code">
GET foo
$3
bar
</pre>Ok that's very similar to 'set', just the other way around. We sent &quot;get foo&quot;,
the server replied with a first line that is just the $ character follwed by
the number of bytes the value stored at key contained, followed by the actual
bytes. Again &quot;\r\n&quot; are appended both to the bytes count and the actual data. In Redis slang this is called a bulk reply.<br/><br/>What about requesting a non existing key?<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python" name="code">
GET blabla
$-1
</pre>When the key does not exist instead of the length, just the &quot;$-1&quot; string is sent. Since a -1 length of a bulk reply has no meaning it is used in order to specifiy a 'nil' value and distinguish it from a zero length value. Another way to check if a given key exists or not is indeed the EXISTS command:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python python python" name="code">
EXISTS nokey
:0
EXISTS foo
:1
</pre>As you can see the server replied ':0' the first time since 'nokey' does not
exist, and ':1' for 'foo', a key that actually exists. Replies starting with the colon character are integer reply.<br/><br/>Ok... now you know the basics, read the <a href="CommandReference.html">REDIS COMMAND REFERENCE</a> section to
learn all the commands supported by Redis and the <a href="ProtocolSpecification.html">PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION</a>
section for more details about the protocol used if you plan to implement one
for a language missing a decent client implementation.<h1><a name="License">License</a></h1>Redis is released under the BSD license.

<h1><a name="Redis Replication Howto">Redis Replication Howto</a></h1><h2><a name="General Information">General Information</a></h2>Redis replication is a very simple to use and configure master-slave replication that allows slave Redis servers to be exact copies of master servers. The following are some very important facts about Redis replication:<br/><br/><ul><li> A master can have multiple slaves.</li><li> Slaves are able to accept other slaves connections, so instead to connect a number of slaves against the same master it is also possible to connect some of the slaves to other slaves in a graph-alike structure.</li><li> Redis replication is non-blocking on the master side, this means that the master will continue to serve queries while one or more slaves are performing the first synchronization. Instead replication is blocking on the slave side: while the slave is performing the first synchronization it can't reply to queries.</li><li> Replications can be used both for scalability, in order to have multiple slaves for read-only queries (for example heavy <a href="SortCommand.html">SORT</a> operations can be launched against slaves), or simply for data redundancy.</li><li> It is possible to use replication to avoid the saving process on the master side: just configure your master redis.conf in order to avoid saving at all (just comment al the &quot;save&quot; directives), then connect a slave configured to save from time to time.</li></ul>
<h2><a name="How Redis replication works">How Redis replication works</a></h2>In order to start the replication, or after the connection closes in order resynchronize with the master, the client connects to the master and issues the SYNC command.<br/><br/>The master starts a background saving, and at the same time starts to collect all the new commands received that had the effect to modify the dataset. When the background saving completed the master starts the transfer of the database file to the slave, that saves it on disk, and then load it in memory. At this point the master starts to send all the accumulated commands, and all the new commands received from clients, that had the effect of a dataset modification.<br/><br/>You can try it yourself via telnet. Connect to the Redis port while the server is doing some work and issue the SYNC command. You'll see a bulk transfer and then every command received by the master will be re-issued in the telnet session.<br/><br/>Slaves are able to automatically reconnect when the master <code name="code" class="python">&lt;-&gt;</code> slave link goes down for some reason. If the master receives multiple concurrent slave synchronization requests it performs a single background saving in order to serve all them.<h2><a name="Configuration">Configuration</a></h2>To configure replication is trivial: just add the following line to the slave configuration file:
<pre class="codeblock python" name="code">
slaveof 192.168.1.1 6379
</pre>
Of course you need to replace 192.168.1.1 6379 with your master ip address (or hostname) and port.

<h1><a name="Redis Reply Types">Redis Reply Types</a></h1>Redis commands can reply to the client with four different kind of replies, you can find the protocol level specification of this replies in the <a href="ProtocolSpecification.html">Redis Protocol Specification</a>. This page is instead an higher level description of the four types of replies from the point of view of the final user.<h1><a name="Status code reply">Status code reply</a></h1>
Status code replies are single line strings having the <b>+</b> character as first byte. The string to return to the client is simply verything that follows the first <b>+</b> character. For example the <a href="PingCommand.html">PING</a> command returns <b>+PONG</b>, that is the string &quot;PONG&quot;.<h1><a name="Error reply">Error reply</a></h1>
This is like a status code reply but the first character is <b>-</b> instead of <b>+</b>. The client library should raise an error for error replies and stop the execution of the program if the exception is not trapped, showing the error message (everything following the first <b>-</b> character). An example of error is &quot;-Error no such key&quot; or &quot;-foobar&quot;. Note that error replies will not collide with negative integer replies since integer replies are prefixed with the <b>:</b> character.<h1><a name="Integer reply">Integer reply</a></h1>
At protocol level integer replies are single line replies in form of a decimal singed number prefixed by a <b>:</b> character. For example <b>:10</b> is an integer reply. Redis commands returning <i>true</i> or <i>false</i> will use an integer reply with 0 or 1 as values where 0 is false and 1 is true.<br/><br/>Integer replies are usually passed by client libraries as integer values.<h1><a name="Bulk reply">Bulk reply</a></h1>
A bulk reply is a binary-safe reply that is used to return a binary safe single string value (string is not limited to alphanumerical strings, it may contain binary data of any kind). Client libraries will usually return a string as return value of Redis commands returning bulk replies. There is a special bulk reply that signal that the element does not exist. When this happens the client library should return 'nil', 'false', or some other special element that can be distinguished by an empty string.<h1><a name="Multi bulk reply">Multi bulk reply</a></h1>
While a bulk reply returns a single string value, multi bulk replies are used to return multiple values: lists, sets, and so on. Elements of a bulk reply can be missing. Client libraries should return 'nil' or 'false' in order to make this elements distinguishable from empty strings. Client libraries should return multi bulk replies that are about ordered elements like list ranges as lists, and bulk replies about sets as hashes or Sets if the implementation language has a Set type.

<i>Time complexity: O(1)</i><blockquote>Atomically return and remove the last (tail) element of the <i>srckey</i> list,and push the element as the first (head) element of the <i>dstkey</i> list. Forexample if the source list contains the elements &quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot;,&quot;c&quot; and thedestination list contains the elements &quot;foo&quot;,&quot;bar&quot; after an RPOPLPUSH commandthe content of the two lists will be &quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot; and &quot;c&quot;,&quot;foo&quot;,&quot;bar&quot;.</blockquote>
<blockquote>If the <i>key</i> does not exist or the list is already empty the specialvalue 'nil' is returned. If the <i>srckey</i> and <i>dstkey</i> are the same theoperation is equivalent to removing the last element from the list and pusingit as first element of the list, so it's a &quot;list rotation&quot; command.</blockquote>
<h2><a name="Programming patterns: safe queues">Programming patterns: safe queues</a></h2><blockquote>Redis lists are often used as queues in order to exchange messages betweendifferent programs. A program can add a message performing an <a href="RpushCommand.html">LPUSH</a> operationagainst a Redis list (we call this program a Producer), while another program(that we call Consumer) can process the messages performing an <a href="LpopCommand.html">RPOP</a> commandin order to start reading the messages from the oldest.</blockquote>
<blockquote>Unfortunately if a Consumer crashes just after an <a href="LpopCommand.html">RPOP</a> operation the messagegets lost. RPOPLPUSH solves this problem since the returned message isadded to another &quot;backup&quot; list. The Consumer can later remove the messagefrom the backup list using the <a href="LremCommand.html">LREM</a> command when the message was correctlyprocessed.</blockquote>
<blockquote>Another process, called Helper, can monitor the &quot;backup&quot; list to check fortimed out entries to repush against the main queue.</blockquote>
<h2><a name="Programming patterns: server-side O(N) list traversal">Programming patterns: server-side O(N) list traversal</a></h2><blockquote>Using RPOPPUSH with the same source and destination key a process canvisit all the elements of an N-elements List in O(N) without to transferthe full list from the server to the client in a single <a href="LrangeCommand.html">LRANGE</a> operation.Note that a process can traverse the list even while other processesare actively RPUSHing against the list, and still no element will be skipped.</blockquote>
