Mastering Redis

By: Vidyasagar N V, Jeremy Nelson

Overview of this book

Redis is the most popular, open-source, key value data structure server that provides a wide range of capabilities on which multiple platforms can be be built. Its fast and flexible data structures give your existing applications an edge in the development environment. This book is a practical guide which aims to help you deep dive into the world of Redis data structure to exploit its excellent features. We start our journey by understanding the need of Redis in brief, followed by an explanation of Advanced key management. Next, you will learn about design patterns, best practices for using Redis in DevOps environment and Docker containerization paradigm in detail. After this, you will understand the concept of scaling with Redis cluster and Redis Sentinel , followed by a through explanation of incorporating Redis with NoSQL technologies such as Elasticsearch and MongoDB. At the end of this section, you will be able to develop competent applications using these technologies. You will then explore the message queuing and task management features of Redis and will be able to implement them in your applications. Finally, you will learn how Redis can be used to build real-time data analytic dashboards, for different disparate data streams.

Advanced sorted set operations


Similarly to sets, sorted sets in Redis support the set operations of union and intersection, although the time complexity of these operations for sorted sets is worse than for sets. Another problem with the sorted set operations is that when using a Redis cluster, union and intersection operations can only be used when the sorted set keys have been sharded to the same hash slot and run on the same node. The ZINTERSTORE Redis command has a time complexity of O(nk)+O(mlog(m)), where n is the size of the smallest sorted set; k, the total number of sorted sets being intersected, and m, the number of elements in the resulting final sorted set. Likewise, for the ZUNIONSTORE command, the time complexity is O(n)+O(M log(M)) with n being the total size of all the sorted sets and m being the total number of elements in the final sorted set. Given the characteristics of sorted sets, the additional time required for these two set operations may be an acceptable trade...
