How to run the tests

• Install the latest version of redis-server supported by scredis
• Start two redis servers
  1. Original config (port = 6379, no password)
  • Run redis-server
  2. Custom config (port = 6380, password = 'foobar')
  • Create a redis config file, i.e. /path/custom.conf
  • Configure port 6380 and requirepass foobar
  • Run redis-server /path/custom.conf
• Run the tests using sbt

Note: you must not create any external connections to either of the redis servers while the tests are running as it might interfere with them.

Running the benchmarks

• Uncomment scredis.ClientBenchmark
• Run redis-server with default configuration (port = 6379, no password)
• Run test-only *ClientBenchmark* via sbt
• It can take quite some time to complete, usually about 15 minutes

Note: it would be even better to run the benchmarks against a redis server hosted on a separate machine in the same LAN. That way redis-server's CPU usage would not impact scredis.
