Onboarding and Development Guide

Getting started

  1. Install redis-cluster
   gem install 'redis-cluster'
  1. Start irb. This command will start a redis-cluster client from seed servers.
   seed = ['127.0.0.1:7001', '127.0.0.1:7002']
   redis = RedisCluster.new(
                             seed,
                             redis_opts: { timeout: 5, connect_timeout: 1 },
                             cluster_opts: { force_cluster: false, read_mode: :master_slave, silent: true, logger: Logger.new }
                           )
   redis.middlewares.register(:commit) do |*args, &block|
     puts "this is RedisCluster middlewares"
     block.call
   end

Development Guide

  1. You need rvm and bundler to test. See here to install rvm. And run these commands to install bundler and other dependencies
   gem install bundler
   bundle install
  1. You also need redis binary. See here to install redis

  2. Fork this repo

  3. Make your change and it's test.

   vim lib/**.rb
   vim spec/**_spec.rb
  1. Optionally, run the test in your local
   rake # run all test and lint
  1. Commit and push your change to upstream
   git commit -m "message"
   git push # add "--set-upstream branch_name" after "git push" if you haven't set the upstream
  1. Open pull request in Github

  2. If test in CI is success, ask someone to review your code.

  3. If review is passed, your pull request can be merged.

Configuration

redis_opts

Option for Redis::Client instance. Set timeout, ssl, etc here.

cluster_opts

Option for RedisCluster.

  • force_cluster: if true, RedisCluster will only work on clustered Redis or otherwise can also work on standalone Redis. The default value is false.
  • read_mode: for read command, RedisClient can try to read from slave if specified. Supported option is :master(default), :slave, and :master_slave.
  • silent: whether or not RedisCluster will raise error.
  • logger: if specified. RedisCluster will log all of RedisCluster errors here.

Middlewares

Middlewares are hooks that RedisCluster provide to observe RedisCluster events. To register a middlewares, provide callable object (object that respond to call) or give block in register method. Middlewares must give block result as return value.

# Using callable
class Callable
  def call
    start = Time.now
    yield
  rescue StandardError => e
    raise e
  ensure
    Metrics.publish(elapsed_time: Time.now - start)
  end
end
redis.middlewares.register(:commit, Callable.new)

# Using proc
redis.middlewares.register(:commit) do |*args, &block|
  begin
    res = block.call
  rescue StandardError => e
    Log.warn('failed')
    raise e
  end
  Log.info('success')
  res
end

Currently there are 3 events that RedisCluster publish.

  • :commit RedisCluster will fire :commit events when RedisCluster::Client call redis server. It give RedisCluster::Client as arguments. ruby redis.middlewares.register(:commit) do |client, &block| puts 'this is :commit events' puts "client url: #{client.url}" puts "first command: #{client.queue.first.first}" puts "last command: #{client.queue.last.first}" block.call end
  • :call This events is fired when command is issued in RedisCluster client before any load balancing is done. It give RedisCluster and RedisCluster#call arguments as arguments ruby redis.middlewares.register(:call) do |client, keys, command, opts = {}, &block| puts "keys to load balance: #{keys}" puts "redis command: #{command.first}" puts "in pipelined?: #{client.pipelined?}" block.call end redis.get('something') # Output: # keys to load balance: something # redis command: get
  • :pipelined This events is fired when pipelined method is called from redis client. It does give RedisCluster as arguments ruby redis.middlewares.register(:pipelined) do |client, &block| puts 'pipelined is called' block.call end

Limitation

All multi keys operation, cluster command, multi-exec, and some commands are not supported.

Pipeline

Can be used with same interface as standalone redis client. See redis pipeline
