how to set a timeout for redis-cli command? - redis

I have a health check I'm trying to use that executes the redis-cli command from the redis servers to the redis-sentinels remotely.
redis-cli -h 10.10.10.10 -p 26379 SENTINEL MASTER testing
There is a logic that sorts out whether there is a quorum and it all works fine unless a sentinel's network interface is unavailable. The redis-cli command hangs indefinitely in this case and the health check fails even though there are two healthy sentinels with a quorum.
I can't seem to find a way to set a timeout for the redis-cli on the client side to prevent it from hanging. Is there a way with redis-cli to do this or will I have to go outside the command to ensure it doesn't hang indefinitely?

I decided to use the timeout command to wrap the redis-cli command. It seems to work very well for my purposes!
timeout 3 redis-cli -h 10.10.10.10 -p 26379 SENTINEL MASTER testing

redis-cli --pipe yields MOVED errors when bulk uploading to Elasticache with cluster-mode enabled

I am trying to use redis-cli --pipe to bulk upload some commands to my AWS Elasticache for redis cluster. The commands come from parsing a file via a custom awk command, which helps generate some HSET commands. The awk command is in a custom shell script. When my Elasticache for redis server had cluster-mode disabled, doing something like the following worked like a charm:
sh script_containing_awk.sh $FILE_TO_PARSE | redis-cli -h <Primary_endpoint> -p <port> --tls --cacert <path/to/cert> --pipe
Due to an internal project requirement, the Elasticache for Redis server has been re-created with cluster-mode enabled, and hence I am adding the -c flag to the above command to specify as such.
I see the following results when trying to work with my Elasticache for Redis server with cluster-mode enabled:
I can connect to the cluster via the configuration endpoint no problem!
Single command uploads work (i.e: redis-cli -h <config_endpoint> -p <port> -c --tls --cacert <path/to/certs> SET key value)
It would be extremely convenient to just pipe output from my script to the cli:
sh script_containing_awk.sh $FILE_TO_PARSE | redis-cli -h <config_endpoint> -p <port> -c --tls --cacert <path/to/cert> --pipe
but adding the --pipe flag results in "MOVED" errors.
I have tried modifying the script to include {} (ex: HSET {user1}:hash field1 val1 field2 val2 ... brackets to try to force keys to the same CLUSTER SLOTS, but I still get the "MOVED" errors and I am attempting to bulk upload millions of keys so I don't think they would all fit in the same slot anyway.
Does anyone have experience getting --pipe to work with cluster-mode enabled Redis/Elasticache?
Thanks!
I am sure you understand that the core difference between Cluster Mode Disabled and Cluster Mode Enabled is that there is a split in your total Key slots.
Just to put in context;
CMD - Let's say we have 4 node cluster with 1 Primary and 3 Replicas.
if we have 100 key slots -
All the 100 key slots will be there in all the nodes. 3 of them will serve Read only commands and 1 of the node will serve all the commands.
CME - Let's say we have 4 nodes split in 2 shards - 1 replica and 1 primary each.
We can look at them as logical sub-clusters ie. they will have different sets of key-slots. Ideally a 50-50 split.
Now, the MOVED message is not necessarily an error.
When you connect to the configuration endpoint, by default you are being connected with one of the primary nodes (chosen at random, at first).
when you make a command, the client sends that command and the primary node decides if it has the correct hash-slot to serve that command.
As explained here, if the node does not have the hash-slot that your client is looking for, it will redirect you with a MOVED message.
So, I would assume MOVED messages are somewhat expected with CME clusters.

Enabling Redis API in Scylla DB

This is my first time asking here.
Can anyone help me how to enable the Redis API in ScyllaDB?
I can't find anything about enabling the Redis API.
Also where/how should I set the redis_port is it in the scylla.yaml?
Thank you in advance :)
Add
redis_port: 6379
somewhere in scylla.yaml
more here
http://scylla.docs.scylladb.com/master/design-notes/protocols.html#redis-client-protocol
The config option code:
https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/blob/master/db/config.cc#L789
Adding info on how to use Redis API with Scylla Docker:
run Scylla Docker with mapped Redis port
docker run -p 6379:6379 --name some-scylla -d scylladb/scylla --smp 1 --memory 750M --overprovisioned 1
update the scylla.yaml
docker exec -it some-scylla bash
vi /etc/scylla/scylla.yaml (add redis_port: 6379)
supervisorctl restart scylla
from the host server you can now use
redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

Can we run Redis flush command for remote System from my local system?

I wanted to run redis-cli flush all command from my local for UAT environment (ServerName), do not want to go again and again on that server and clear the cache as a dev.
do we have any command to connect that server to clear redis-cache?
I think you mean this but be careful testing:
redis-cli -h SERVERNAME -p PORT flushall

Redis cluster master slave - not able to add key

I have setup up Redis master slave configuration having one master (6379 port) and 3 slaves (6380,6381,6382) running in the same machine. Looks like cluster is setup properly as I can see the following output on running info command:
# Replication
role:master
connected_slaves:3
slave0:ip=127.0.0.1,port=6380,state=online,offset=29,lag=1
slave1:ip=127.0.0.1,port=6381,state=online,offset=29,lag=1
slave2:ip=127.0.0.1,port=6382,state=online,offset=29,lag=1
master_repl_offset:43
repl_backlog_active:1
repl_backlog_size:1048576
repl_backlog_first_byte_offset:2
repl_backlog_histlen:42
But wherever I try to add new key in master, I get the following error:
(error) CLUSTERDOWN Hash slot not served
Using redis-3.0.7 in Mac OS X Yosemite.
I had the same issue, turned out I forgot to run the create cluster:
cd /path/to/utils/create-cluster
./create-cluster create
http://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial#creating-a-redis-cluster-using-the-create-cluster-script
To fix slots issue while insertion:
redis-cli --cluster fix localhost:6379
You can use ruby script buddled with redis for creating clusters as mentioned below :
/usr/local/redis-3.2.11/src/redis-trib.rb create --replicas 1 192.168.142.128:7001 192.168.142.128:7002 192.168.142.128:7003 192.168.142.128:7004 192.168.142.128:7005 192.168.142.128:7006
There is a hash slot not allotted to any master. Check the hash slots by looking at the column 9 in the output of following command (column 9 will be empty if no hash slots for that node):
redis-cli -h masterIP -p masterPORT CLUSTER NODES
The hash slots can be allotted by using the following command.
redis-cli -h masterIP -p masterPORT CLUSTER ADDSLOTS SLOTNNUMBER
But this has to be done for every slot number individually without missing. Use a bat script to include it in for loop. something like,
for /L %a in (0,1,5400) Do redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 7001 cluster addslots %a
Also, this command works before assigning slaves to master. After this ADDSLOTS step and completing the setup, the SET and GET worked fine. Remember to use -c along with redis-cli before SET to enable cluster support.
The issue comes when one or more Redis nodes gets corrupted and can no longer serve its configured hash slots.
You will have to bootstrap the cluster again to make sure the nodes agree on the hash slots to serve.
If the Redis nodes contain data or a key in the database 0, you will have to clear this data before rerunning the bootstrap.

How to Run YCSB for a redis Cluster on Ubuntu

I am new to YCSB and i want to benchmark Redis using more than one cluster. I have tried with only one Redis on my localhost with the following command.
./bin/ycsb load redis -p redis.host=localhost -p redis.port=6379 -P workloads/workloada -p recordcount=200000 -s > d.dat
I am getting the currect ops/sec and other data.
Now i need to know how can run YCSB for more than one cluster.
Can anybody give an answer (steps to run this).
And it would be helpful if anyone can help to run Couchbase YCSB too.
Thanx..!!
The following steps need to be done to perform YCSB bench marking with redis cluster
1) configure redis cluster with different nodes by referring to the document
http://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial
2) open the ycsb terminal,set up redis host ip address, port and specify the required parameters needed
./bin/ycsb load redis -p redis.host="ip address" -p redis.port="port" -P workloads/workloada -p recordcount=200000 -s > d.dat
