Redis - Basics

1
 1. Redis ─ Overview Redis

Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store and an apt solution for building high-
performance, scalable web applications.

Redis has three main peculiarities that sets it apart.

 Redis holds its database entirely in the memory, using the disk only for persistence.

 Redis has a relatively rich set of data types when compared to many key-value
data stores.

 Redis can replicate data to any number of slaves.

Redis Advantages
Following are certain advantages of Redis.

 Exceptionally fast: Redis is very fast and can perform about 110000 SETs per
second, about 81000 GETs per second.

 Supports rich data types: Redis natively supports most of the datatypes that
developers already know such as list, set, sorted set, and hashes. This makes it
easy to solve a variety of problems as we know which problem can be handled
better by which data type.

 Operations are atomic: All Redis operations are atomic, which ensures that if
two clients concurrently access, Redis server will receive the updated value.

 Multi-utility tool: Redis is a multi-utility tool and can be used in a number of use
cases such as caching, messaging-queues (Redis natively supports
Publish/Subscribe), any short-lived data in your application, such as web
application sessions, web page hit counts, etc.

Redis Versus Other Key-value Stores

 Redis is a different evolution path in the key-value DBs, where values can contain
more complex data types, with atomic operations defined on those data types.

 Redis is an in-memory database but persistent on disk database, hence it

represents a different trade off where very high write and read speed is achieved
with the limitation of data sets that can't be larger than the memory.

Another advantage of in-memory databases is that the memory representation of

complex data structures is much simpler to manipulate compared to the same data
structure on disk. Thus, Redis can do a lot with little internal complexity.

2
 2. Redis ─ Environment Redis

In this chapter, you will learn about the environmental setup for Redis.

Install Redis on Ubuntu

To install Redis on Ubuntu, go to the terminal and type the following commands:

$sudo apt-get update

$sudo apt-get install redis-server

This will install Redis on your machine.

Start Redis
$redis-server

Check If Redis is Working

$redis-cli

This will open a redis prompt.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379>

In the above prompt, 127.0.0.1 is your machine's IP address and 6379 is the port on
which Redis server is running. Now type the following PING command.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> ping

PONG

This shows that Redis is successfully installed on your machine.

Install Redis Desktop Manager on Ubuntu

To install Redis desktop manager on Ubuntu, just download the package
from http://redisdesktop.com/download

Open the downloaded package and install it.

Redis desktop manager will give you UI to manage your Redis keys and data.

3
 3. Redis ─ Configuration Redis

In Redis, there is a configuration file (redis.conf) available at the root directory of Redis.
Although you can get and set all Redis configurations by Redis CONFIG command.

Syntax
Following is the basic syntax of Redis CONFIG command.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET CONFIG_SETTING_NAME

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET loglevel

1) "loglevel"
2) "notice"

To get all configuration settings, use * in place of CONFIG_SETTING_NAME

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET *

1) "dbfilename"
2) "dump.rdb"
3) "requirepass"

Edit Configuration
To update configuration, you can edit redis.conf file directly or you can update
configurations via CONFIG set command.

Syntax
Following is the basic syntax of CONFIG SET command.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG SET CONFIG_SETTING_NAME NEW_CONFIG_VALUE

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG SET loglevel "notice"
OK
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET loglevel

1) "loglevel"
2) "notice"

 4. Redis ─ Data Types Redis

Redis supports 5 types of data types.

Strings
Redis string is a sequence of bytes. Strings in Redis are binary safe, meaning they have a
known length not determined by any special terminating characters. Thus, you can store
anything up to 512 megabytes in one string.

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SET name "tutorialspoint"
OK
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> GET name
"tutorialspoint"

In the above example, SET and GET are Redis commands, name is the key used in Redis
and tutorialspoint is the string value that is stored in Redis.

Note: A string value can be at max 512 megabytes in length.

Hashes
A Redis hash is a collection of key value pairs. Redis Hashes are maps between string
fields and string values. Hence, they are used to represent objects.

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> HMSET user:1 username tutorialspoint password
tutorialspoint points 200
OK
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> HGETALL user:1

1) "username"
2) "tutorialspoint"
3) "password"
4) "tutorialspoint"
5) "points"
6) "200"

9
 Redis

In the above example, hash data type is used to store the user's object which contains
basic information of the user. Here HMSET, HGETALL are commands for Redis,
while user:1 is the key.

Every hash can store up to 232 - 1 field-value pairs (more than 4 billion).

Lists
Redis Lists are simply lists of strings, sorted by insertion order. You can add elements to
a Redis List on the head or on the tail.

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> lpush tutoriallist redis
(integer) 1
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> lpush tutoriallist mongodb
(integer) 2
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> lpush tutoriallist rabitmq
(integer) 3
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> lrange tutoriallist 0 10

1) "rabitmq"
2) "mongodb"
3) "redis"

The max length of a list is 232 - 1 elements (4294967295, more than 4 billion of elements
per list).

Sets
Redis Sets are an unordered collection of strings. In Redis, you can add, remove, and test
for the existence of members in O(1) time complexity.

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> sadd tutoriallist redis
(integer) 1
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> sadd tutoriallist mongodb
(integer) 1
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> sadd tutoriallist rabitmq
(integer) 1
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> sadd tutoriallist rabitmq
10
 Redis

(integer) 0
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> smembers tutoriallist

1) "rabitmq"
2) "mongodb"
3) "redis"

Note: In the above example, rabitmq is added twice, however due to unique property of
the set, it is added only once.

The max number of members in a set is 232 - 1 (4294967295, more than 4 billion of
members per set).

Sorted Sets
Redis Sorted Sets are similar to Redis Sets, non-repeating collections of Strings. The
difference is, every member of a Sorted Set is associated with a score, that is used in
order to take the sorted set ordered, from the smallest to the greatest score. While
members are unique, the scores may be repeated.

Redis – Commands

12
 5. Redis ─ Commands Redis

Redis commands are used to perform some operations on Redis server.

To run commands on Redis server, you need a Redis client. Redis client is available in
Redis package, which we have installed earlier.

Syntax
Following is the basic syntax of Redis client.

$redis-cli

Example
Following example explains how we can start Redis client.

To start Redis client, open the terminal and type the command redis-cli. This will connect
to your local server and now you can run any command.

$redis-cli
redis 127.0.0.1:6379>
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PING

PONG

In the above example, we connect to Redis server running on the local machine and
execute a command PING, that checks whether the server is running or not.

Run Commands on the Remote Server

To run commands on Redis remote server, you need to connect to the server by the same
client redis-cli

Syntax
$ redis-cli -h host -p port -a password

13
 Redis

Example
Following example shows how to connect to Redis remote server, running on host
127.0.0.1, port 6379 and has password mypass.

$redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -a "mypass"

redis 127.0.0.1:6379>
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PING

PONG

 6. Redis ─ Keys Redis

Redis keys commands are used for managing keys in Redis. Following is the syntax for
using redis keys commands.

Syntax
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> COMMAND KEY_NAME

Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SET tutorialspoint redis
OK
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> DEL tutorialspoint
(integer) 1

In the above example, DEL is the command, while tutorialspoint is the key. If the key
is deleted, then the output of the command will be (integer) 1, otherwise it will be (integer)
0.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> DUMP tutorialspoint

"\x00\x05redis\x06\x00S\xbd\xc1q\x17z\x81\xb2"

Keys Exists Command

Redis EXISTS command is used to check whether the key exists in Redis or not.

17
 Redis

Return Value
Integer value

 1, if the key exists.

 0, if the key does not exist.

Syntax
Following is the basic syntax of Redis EXISTS command.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> EXISTS KEY_NAME
