Radix
Radix is a full-featured Redis client for Go. See the GoDoc
for documentation and general usage examples.
This is the third revision of this project, the previous one has been deprecated
but can be found here.
Features
-
Standard print-like API which supports all current and future redis commands.
-
Support for using an io.Reader as a command argument and writing responses to
an io.Writer, as well as marshaling/unmarshaling command arguments from
structs.
-
Connection pooling, which takes advantage of implicit pipelining to reduce
system calls.
-
Helpers for EVAL, SCAN, and manual pipelining.
-
Support for pubsub, as well as persistent pubsub wherein if a
connection is lost a new one transparently replaces it.
-
Full support for sentinel and cluster.
-
Nearly all important types are interfaces, allowing for custom implementations
of nearly anything.
Installation and Usage
Radix always aims to support the most recent two versions of go, and is likely
to support others prior to those two.
Module-aware mode:
go get github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
// import github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
Legacy GOPATH mode:
go get github.com/mediocregopher/radix
// import github.com/mediocregopher/radix
Testing
# requires a redis server running on 127.0.0.1:6379
go test github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
Benchmarks
Thanks to a huge amount of work put in by @nussjustin, and inspiration from the
redispipe project and @funny-falcon, radix/v3 is significantly
faster than most redis drivers, including redigo, for normal parallel workloads,
and is pretty comparable for serial workloads.
Benchmarks can be run from the bench folder. The following results were obtained
by running the benchmarks with -cpu
set to 32 and 64, on a 32 core machine,
with the redis server on a separate machine. See this thread
for more details.
Some of radix's results are not included below because they use a non-default
configuration.
