and:reconnect_delay_max
options. See #778.
-
Added

. See #766. -
Redis.new
now accept a custom connector via:connector
. See #591. -
Redis#multi

,georadiusbymember
,geopos
,geodist
. See #730.
-
Redis::Distributed
now supportsmget
andmapped_mget
. See #687. -
Redis::Distributed
now supportssscan
andsscan_each
. See #572. -
Redis#connection
returns a hash with connection information. You shouldn't need to callRedis#_client
, ever. -
Redis#flushdb
andRedis#flushall
now support the:async
option. See #706.
-
Removed
Redis.connect
. UseRedis.new
. -

reconnect_attempts
option (#347)

Ruby 2.0 compatibility.
-
Added support for
DUMP
andRESTORE
(Redis 2.6). -
Added support for
BITCOUNT
andBITOP
(Redis 2.6). -

The following items are the most important changes to review when upgrading from redis-rb 2.x. A full list of changes can be found below.
-
The methods for the following commands have changed the arguments they take, their return value, or both.
BLPOP
,BRPOP
,BRPOPLPUSH
SORT
MSETNX
ZRANGE
,ZREVRANGE
,ZRANGEBYSCORE
,ZREVRANGEBYSCORE
ZINCRBY
,ZSCORE
-
The return value from
#pipelined
and#multi
no longer contains unprocessed replies, but the same replies that would be returned if the command had not been executed in these blocks. -
The client raises custom errors on connection errors, instead of
RuntimeError
and errors in theErrno
family.
-
Added support for scripting commands (Redis 2.6).
Scripts can be executed using
#eval
and#evalsha
. Both can commands can either take two arrays to specifyKEYS
andARGV
, or take a hash containing:keys
and:argv
to specifyKEYS
andARGV
.redis.eval("return ARGV[1] * ARGV[2]", :argv => [2, 3]) # => 6
Subcommands of the
SCRIPT
command can be executed via the#script
method.For example:
redis.script(:load, "return ARGV[1] * ARGV[2]") # => "58db5d365a1922f32e7aa717722141ea9c2b0cf3" redis.script(:exists, "58db5d365a1922f32e7aa717722141ea9c2b0cf3") # => true redis.script(:flush) # => "OK"
-
The repository now lives at https://github.com/redis/redis-rb. Thanks, Ezra!
-
Added support for
PEXPIRE
,PEXPIREAT
,PTTL
,PSETEX
,INCRYBYFLOAT
,HINCRYBYFLOAT
andTIME
(Redis 2.6). -
Redis.current
is now thread unsafe, because the client itself is thread safe.In the future you'll be able to do something like:
Redis.current = Redis::Pool.connect
This makes
Redis.current
actually usable in multi-threaded environments, while not affecting those running a single thread. -
Change API for
BLPOP
,BRPOP
andBRPOPLPUSH
.Both
BLPOP
andBRPOP
now take a single argument equal to a string key, or an array with string keys, followed by an optional hash with a:timeout
key. When not specified, the timeout defaults to0
to not time out.redis.blpop(["list1", "list2"], :timeout => 1.0)
BRPOPLPUSH
also takes an optional hash with a:timeout
key as last argument for consistency. When not specified, the timeout defaults to0
to not time out.redis.brpoplpush("some_list", "another_list", :timeout => 1.0)
-
When
SORT
is passed multiple key patterns to get via the:get
option, it now returns an array per result element, holding allGET
substitutions. -
The
MSETNX
command now returns a boolean. -
The
ZRANGE
,ZREVRANGE
,ZRANGEBYSCORE
andZREVRANGEBYSCORE
commands now return an array containing[String, Float]
pairs when:with_scores => true
is passed.For example:
redis.zrange("zset", 0, -1, :with_scores => true) # => [["foo", 1.0], ["bar", 2.0]]
-
The
ZINCRBY
andZSCORE
commands now return aFloat
score instead of a string holding a representation of the score. -
The client now raises custom exceptions where it makes sense.
If by any chance you were rescuing low-level exceptions (
Errno::*
), you should now rescue as follows:Errno::ECONNRESET -> Redis::ConnectionError Errno::EPIPE -> Redis::ConnectionError Errno::ECONNABORTED -> Redis::ConnectionError Errno::EBADF -> Redis::ConnectionError Errno::EINVAL -> Redis::ConnectionError Errno::EAGAIN -> Redis::TimeoutError Errno::ECONNREFUSED -> Redis::CannotConnectError
-
Always raise exceptions originating from erroneous command invocation inside pipelines and MULTI/EXEC blocks.
The old behavior (swallowing exceptions) could cause application bugs to go unnoticed.
-
Implement futures for assigning values inside pipelines and MULTI/EXEC blocks. Futures are assigned their value after the pipeline or MULTI/EXEC block has executed.
$redis.pipelined do @future = $redis.get "key" end puts @future.value
-
Ruby 1.8.6 is officially not supported.
-
Support
ZCOUNT
inRedis::Distributed
(Michael Dungan). -
Pipelined commands now return the same replies as when called outside a pipeline.
In the past, pipelined replies were returned without post-processing.
-
Support
SLOWLOG
command (Michael Bernstein). -
Calling
SHUTDOWN
effectively disconnects the client (Stefan Kaes). -
Basic support for mapping commands so that they can be renamed on the server.
-
Connecting using a URL now checks that a host is given.
It's just a small sanity check, cf. #126
-
Support variadic commands introduced in Redis 2.4.
- Added method
Redis::Distributed#hsetnx
.
-
Internal API: Client#call and family are now called with a single array argument, since splatting a large number of arguments (100K+) results in a stack overflow on 1.9.2.
-
The
INFO
command can optionally take a subcommand. When the subcommand isCOMMANDSTATS
, the client will properly format the returned statistics per command. Subcommands forINFO
are available since Redis v2.3.0 (unstable). -
Change
IO#syswrite
back to the bufferedIO#write
since some Rubies do short writes for large (1MB+) buffers and some don't (see issue #108).
-
Added method
Redis#without_reconnect
that ensures the client will not try to reconnect when running the code inside the specified block. -
Thread-safe by default. Thread safety can be explicitly disabled by passing
:thread_safe => false
as argument. -
Commands called inside a MULTI/EXEC no longer raise error replies, since a successful EXEC means the commands inside the block were executed.
-
MULTI/EXEC blocks are pipelined.
-
Don't disconnect on error replies.
-
Use
IO#syswrite
instead ofIO#write
because write buffering is not necessary. -
Connect to a unix socket by passing the
:path
option as argument. -
The timeout value is coerced into a float, allowing sub-second timeouts.
-
Accept both
:with_scores
and:withscores
as argument to sorted set commands. -
Use hiredis (v0.3 or higher) by requiring "redis/connection/hiredis".
-
Use em-synchrony by requiring "redis/connection/synchrony".
