Redis 6 RC1 is out today
antirez.comReally appreciate that @antirez takes the time to add features in a way that doesn’t negatively impact old features where possible, for example if I don’t want to use ACL, I don’t have to jump through hoops or assign universal high level access that I have to undo later. Thanks!
Much love for the hard work of @antirez and the whole team, such an incredible and usually bulletproof part of everyone's infrastructure.
Thanks for updating Disque, @antirez. I've been watching the GitHub issues and Twitter like a hawk. :)
Can't wait for Threaded I/O as our app main bottleneck in some deployments was Redis.
Threading can help up to a given point but sharing is the way to go.
One of our bottlenecks was really big keys (>1MB) being written and read too often and effectively stealing all the CPU time. That was fixed in the app by reducing the number of operations + compression. Threaded IO will give us a little more room.
Other use case involves LUA scripts that operate on 5 different keys, so cluster/proxy is out of question.
Genuinely curious, why do you need such big keys ? Can't you hash them so you get nice short SHA-X strings for instance ?
I run a fork called KeyDB with multithreading as well as a few optimizations directly around large values (redis does unnecessary copies).
It may work well for your use case. https://github.com/JohnSully/KeyDB
Oh I saw a wonderful (private) fork about this, sending very large keys using threads.
This got me thinking about using Redis and I needed a review of what is open source and what isn't: https://redislabs.com/legal/licenses/
