simple_redis
Overview
This library provides a very basic, simple API for the most common redis operations. While not as comprehensive or flexiable as redis-rs, it does provide a simpler api for most common use cases and operations as well as automatic and resilient internal connection and subscription (pubsub) handling. In addition, the entire API is accessible via redis client and there is no need to manage connection or pubsub instances in parallel.
Connection Resiliency
Connection resiliency is managed by verifying the internally managed connection before every operation against the redis server. In case of any connection issue, a new connection will be allocated to ensure the operation is invoked on a valid connection only. However, this comes at a small performance cost of PING operation to the redis server. In redis-rs, connections are no longer usable in case the connection is broken and if operations are invoked on the client directly, it will basically open a new connection for every operation which is very costly.
Subscription Resiliency
Subscription resiliency is ensured by recreating the internal pubsub and issuing new subscription requests automatically in case of any error while fetching a message from the subscribed channels. redis-rs doesn't provide any such automatic resiliency and resubscription capabilities.
Usage
In order to use this library, you need to first include the crate as follows:
extern crate simple_redis;
Afterwards create a redis client using a connection string:
match create
Once you have a redis client, you can invoke any of the available commands directly or use the run_command function to invoke operations that were not implemented by the library.
match client.set ;
match client.get_string ;
match client.set ;
match client. ;
match client.hgetall ;
/// run some command that is not built in the library
match client. ;
/// publish messages
let mut result = client.publish;
assert!;
/// subscribe to channels
result = client.subscribe;
assert!;
result = client.psubscribe;
assert!;
loop
Once finished with the redis client, you can close the connection using the redis QUIT command:
match client.quit
