Redis Ecosystem Updates
The Redis 1.2.0 release (shortly followed by a small bugfix release[1]) has introduced a new persistence option: Append Only File.
On the mailing list [2], Salvatore Sanfilippo (@antirez) has detailed the process of migrating an existing Redis store to the “Append Only File”:
- Create the initial append only file from your dataset just issuing:
redis-cli bgrewriteaof- When the rewrite is done (you can see it from the INFO command output) stop the server
- Edit redis.conf in order to enable append only
- Restart the server
- Profit!
Just a few days after Redis 1.2.0 was released, Rediska, a PHP client for Redis that provides full integration with Zend, the popular PHP framework that is also looking to integrate with CouchDB and MongoDB, has announced the 0.3.0 release [3] featuring :
- Full support Redis 1.2.0 API
- Pipelining
- Operate with keys on specified (by alias) server
- Specify DB index in server config
- Easy extending Rediska by adding you own or overwrite standart commands
- Lazy loading
- Full documentation
Last, but not least, Chris Streeter has published a server throughput benchmark [4] when using Redis with another PHP Redis driver PRedis:
