Redis TODO and Roadmap
2009-11-27 21:49:38 +00:00
VERSION 1.2 TODO (Zsets, Integer encoding, Append only journal)
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
===============================================================
Most of the features already implemented for this release. The following is a list of the missing things in order to release the first beta tar.gz:
2009-10-16 11:44:25 +00:00
* Document "masterauth" in redis.conf, also merge the other related patch if it seems a safe one.
2009-11-27 21:49:38 +00:00
VERSION 1.4 TODO (Hash type)
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
============================
* Blocking LPOP (BLPOP).
* Hashes (HSET, HGET, HEXISTS, HLEN, ...).
2009-12-01 18:37:43 +00:00
* List ops like L/RPUSH L/RPOP should return the new list length.
2009-10-16 11:44:25 +00:00
2009-11-27 21:49:38 +00:00
VERSION 1.6 TODO (Virtual memory)
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
=================================
2009-11-21 13:13:50 +00:00
* Redis Virtual Memory for datasets bigger than RAM (http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/msg/752997c7b38553cd)
2009-11-27 21:49:38 +00:00
VERSION 1.8 TODO (Fault tollerant sharding)
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
===========================================
2009-11-21 13:13:50 +00:00
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
* Redis-cluster, a fast intermediate layer (proxy) that implements consistent hashing and fault tollerant nodes handling.
2009-11-21 13:13:50 +00:00
Interesting readings about this:

2009-11-27 21:49:38 +00:00
VERSION 2.0 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
============================================
2009-11-21 13:13:50 +00:00
* Lower the CPU usage.
* Lower the RAM usage everywhere possible.
* Use epool and alike to rewrite ae.c for Linux and other platforms suppporting fater-than-select() mutiplexing APIs.
* Implement an UDP interface for low-latency GET/SET operations.
2009-11-27 21:49:38 +00:00
VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
============================================
* JSON command able to access data serialized in JSON format. For instance if I've a key foobar with a json object I can alter the "name" file using somthing like: "JSON SET foobar name Kevin". We should have GET and INCRBY as well.
OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL BE ADDED BUT I'M NOT SURE WHEN
===============================================================
BIG ONES:
* Specially encoded memory-saving integer sets.
* A command to export a JSON dump (there should be mostly working patch needing major reworking).
SMALL ONES:
* Give errors when incrementing a key that does not look like an integer, when providing as a sorted set score something can't be parsed as a double, and so forth.
2009-11-21 13:16:45 +00:00
SHORT/LONG TERM RANDOM TODO ITEMS
=================================
2009-10-16 11:44:25 +00:00
2009-11-29 11:09:31 +00:00
Most of this can be seen just as proposals, the fact they are in this list
it's not a guarantee they'll ever get implemented ;)
2009-12-05 13:26:05 +00:00
* Move dict.c from hash table to skip list, in order to avoid the blocking resize operation needed for the hash table.
* FORK command (fork()s executing the commands received by the current
client in the new process). Hint: large SORTs can use more cores,
copy-on-write will avoid memory problems.
* DUP command? DUP srckey dstkey, creates an exact clone of srckey value in dstkey.
* SORT: Don't copy the list into a vector when BY argument is constant.
* Write the hash table size of every db in the dump, so that Redis can resize the hash table just one time when loading a big DB.
* LOCK / TRYLOCK / UNLOCK as described many times in the google group
* Replication automated tests
* Byte Array type (BA prefixed commands): BASETBIT BAGETBIT BASETU8 U16 U32 U64 S8 S16 S32 S64, ability to atomically INCRBY all the base types. BARANGE to get a range of bytes as a bulk value, BASETRANGE to set a range of bytes.
* zmalloc() should avoid to add a private header for archs where there is some other kind of libc-specific way to get the size of a malloced block. Already done for Mac OS X.
* Read-only mode.
* Pattern-matching replication.
* Don't save empty lists / sets / zsets on disk with snapshotting.
* Remove keys when a list / set / zset reaches length of 0.
DOCUMENTATION WISHLIST
======================
* Page explaining tips to reduce memory usage.
* A Sorted sets HOWTO
