I'm wanting to a redis instance to be used for development purposes without any expirations in it. Is there way to remove the ttl from all the keys in the database?
The following command via redis-cli will loop through all the keys in the selected database and call the persist command which removes the ttl:
EVAL "for i, name in ipairs(redis.call('KEYS', '*')) do redis.call('persist', name); end" 0
I have a lot of analytics data that I'm adding to redis. I plan on incrementally moving the data out of redis and into my database.
I know I can use KEYS [the_key]:* to get all keys that match. For example, I can do that to get the following:
127.0.0.1:6379> KEYS c_Track:*
1) "c_Track:6c93a5c1-77e9-4c4a-9232-bf182713a02e"
2) "c_Track:2c9d99c2-af37-4de9-ac64-b48f339e97a9"
3) "c_Track:9e7fd190-86d9-4b4a-9a70-7bf4c7768eef"
4) "c_Track:7f2d2e98-7440-4fd7-a80a-2af309ab15a4"
Is there a recommended way to get these values easily? I can get the keys, but how can I get all the values as well? I can loop through the keys to get the values, but is there some one-shot method for doing this?
Also I know I shouldn't use keys, but this is just an example. Thanks
Thanks
Also I know I shouldn't use keys
So don't. Use SCAN instead.
is there some one-shot method for doing this?
No, not as a core Redis command, but given the need this is fairly simple to achieve with a server-side Lua script. For example, assuming that your values are strings, you could do something like the following:
local cursor = tonumber(ARGV[1])
local pattern = ARGV[2]
local scan = redis.call('SCAN', cursor, 'MATCH', pattern)
for i, v in ipairs(scan[2]) do
local val = redis.call('GET', v)
scan[2][i] = { v, val }
end
return scan
Assuming that this script is saved under "scan.lua", you can run it as follows:
$ redis-cli SET foo bar
OK
$ redis-cli SET baz qaz
OK
$ redis-cli --eval scan.lua , 0 "*"
1) "0"
2) 1) 1) "baz"
2) "qaz"
2) 1) "foo"
2) "bar"
To scan your entire keyspace, call the script with the returned cursor until it returns 0.
Notes:
1) If your keys are of different types, you should change the script accordingly (e.g. https://github.com/itamarhaber/redis-lua-scripts/blob/master/scanfetch.lua).
2) While this script goes against the common recommendation of generating key names inside a script, it is still safe to run as SCAN returns keys that are in the server's keyspace (whether single-instance or clustered).
Lots of folks use redis for simple key/value cache store. Sometimes you just want to kill off a subset of your keys.
The common question I see everywhere is "How do I do a DEL prefix*".
For various reasons, Redis doesn't currently have this functionality and I get the vibe they have strong fundamental position against such a feature it will likely never happen.
As far as I know, there are a number of work-arounds like this piping fun on the command line:
redis-cli KEYS "prefix:*" | xargs redis-cli DEL
Or using an EVAL:
EVAL "local keys = redis.call('keys', ARGV[1]) \n for i=1,#keys,5000 do \n redis.call('del', unpack(keys, i, math.min(i+4999, #keys))) \n end \n return keys" 0 prefix:*
However, I've learned from folks on the Redis github project that using KEYS * is expensive and bad practice--with the suggestion that it's to be avoided on production systems: https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/2042
The indication is a better way to match key patterns is via SCAN
SCAN 0 MATCH prefix:*
Does anyone know a way within redis to use SCAN in conjunction with DEL to achieve at least a mock of the holy grail, a simple DEL prefix:*?
Or must you use SCAN in a separate program/shell script, then parse the results and issue DEL on the keys in a loop or such?
I have a string type key value store in redis having keys like this--
/url-pattern/url-slug-1
/url-pattern/url-slug-2
/url-pattern/url-slug-3
/url-pattern/url-slug-4 ...
I can retrieve all the keys of /url-pattern/ using a wild card query like this --
keys /url-pattern/*
I would like to retrieve the values of all keys corresponding to this wildcard /url-pattern/*
I tried this
mget /url-pattern/*
1) (nil)
but it doesnt returned the array as expected.
How can I retrieve the values of all keys corresponding to /url-pattern/*
I also want to do a sum on the values, but I think there is no such thing called SUM() in redis
MGET accepts multiple arguments where each a key name. It does not do key name patterns.
What you could do is first fetch all the relevant key names (do not use KEYS, use SCAN instead) and then fetch their values with an MGET.
Here is an updated answer for 2015.
If you can upgrade Redis above 2.8, the SCAN command with MATCH will work for this. Before that version, not so much, and do NOT use the KEYS command except in a development environment.
http://redis.io/commands/scan
Example on command line:
$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> scan match V3.0:*
(error) ERR invalid cursor
127.0.0.1:6379> scan 0 match V3.0:*
1) "0"
2) 1) "V3.0:UNITTEST55660BC7E0C5B"
2) "V3.0:shop.domain.com:route"
3) "V3.0:UNITTEST55660BC4A2548"
127.0.0.1:6379> scan 0 match V1.0:*
1) "0"
2) (empty list or set)
127.0.0.1:6379> scan 0 match V3.0:*
1) "0"
2) 1) "V3.0:UNITTEST55660BC7E0C5B"
2) "V3.0:shop.domain.com:route"
3) "V3.0:UNITTEST55660BC4A2548"
Example in PHP:
// Initialize our iterator to NULL
$iterate = null;
// retry when we get no keys back
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_RETRY);
while ($arr_keys = $redis->scan($iterate, 'match:*')) {
foreach ($arr_keys as $str_key) {
echo "Here is a key: $str_key\n";
}
echo "No more keys to scan!\n";
}
Note, php code is not tested and from the core documentation for example here. Production code would need to be modified depending on the keys needed to look up.
For those on Ubuntu here are the instructions to upgrade php5-redis:
Download the 2.2.7 package here: http://pecl.php.net/package/redis
$ php -i | grep Redis
Redis Support => enabled
Redis Version => 2.2.4
Follow instructions in README to phpize, configure, make install
Create a symlink for command line cli package: cd /etc/php5/cli/conf.d && sudo ln -s ../../mods-available/redis.ini 20-redis.ini
$ php -i | grep Redis
Redis Support => enabled
Redis Version => 2.2.7
There is NO command available in REDIS which can return values from wildcard keys.
If you see the documentation for KEYS command: http://redis.io/commands/keys, it says
Consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in production
environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when it is
executed against large databases. This command is intended for
debugging and special operations. Don't use KEYS in your regular
application code.
I don't know your business use case, but looks like you may have to use different data structure for this requirement. You can use list or set to store similar url patterns.
Is there a Redis command for fetching all keys in the database? I have seen some python-redis libraries fetching them. But was wondering if it is possible from redis-client.
Try to look at KEYS command. KEYS * will list all keys stored in redis.
EDIT: please note the warning at the top of KEYS documentation page:
Time complexity: O(N) with N being the number of keys in the database, under the assumption that the key names in the database and the given pattern have limited length.
UPDATE (V2.8 or greater): SCAN is a superior alternative to KEYS, in the sense that it does not block the server nor does it consume significant resources. Prefer using it.
Updated for Redis 2.8 and above
As noted in the comments of previous answers to this question, KEYS is a potentially dangerous command since your Redis server will be unavailable to do other operations while it serves it. Another risk with KEYS is that it can consume (dependent on the size of your keyspace) a lot of RAM to prepare the response buffer, thus possibly exhausting your server's memory.
Version 2.8 of Redis had introduced the SCAN family of commands that are much more polite and can be used for the same purpose.
The CLI also provides a nice way to work with it:
$ redis-cli --scan --pattern '*'
It can happen that using redis-cli, you connect to your remote redis-server, and then the command:
KEYS *
is not showing anything, or better, it shows:
(empty list or set)
If you are absolutely sure that the Redis server you use is the one you have the data, then maybe your redis-cli is not connecting to the Redis correct database instance.
As it is mentioned in the Redis docs, new connections connect as default to the db 0.
In my case KEYS command was not retrieving results because my database was 1. In order to select the db you want, use SELECT.
The db is identified by an integer.
SELECT 1
KEYS *
I post this info because none of the previous answers was solving my issue.
-->Get all keys from redis-cli
-redis 127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
-->Get list of patterns
-redis 127.0.0.1:6379> keys d??
This will produce keys which start by 'd' with three characters.
-redis 127.0.0.1:6379> keys *t*
This wil get keys with matches 't' character in key
-->Count keys from command line by
-redis-cli keys * |wc -l
-->Or you can use dbsize
-redis-cli dbsize
Get All Keys In Redis
Get all keys using the --scan option:
$ redis-cli --scan --pattern '*'
List all keys using the KEYS command:
$ redis-cli KEYS '*'
Take a look at following Redis Cheat Sheet.
To get a subset of redis keys with the redis-cli i use the command
KEYS "prefix:*"
Yes, you can get all keys by using this
var redis = require('redis');
redisClient = redis.createClient(redis.port, redis.host);
redisClient.keys('*example*', function (err, keys) {
})
SCAN doesn't require the client to load all the keys into memory like KEYS does. SCAN gives you an iterator you can use. I had a 1B records in my redis and I could never get enough memory to return all the keys at once.
Here is a python snippet to get all keys from the store matching a pattern and delete them:
import redis
r = redis.StrictRedis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
for key in r.scan_iter("key_pattern*"):
print key
redis-cli -h <host> -p <port> keys *
where * is the pattern to list all keys
KEYS pattern
Available since 1.0.0.
Time complexity: O(N) with N being the number
of keys in the database, under the assumption that the key names in
the database and the given pattern have limited length.
Returns all keys matching pattern.
Warning : This command is not recommended to use because it may ruin performance when it is executed against large databases instead of KEYS you can use SCAN or SETS.
Example of KEYS command to use :
redis> MSET firstname Jack lastname Stuntman age 35
"OK"
redis> KEYS *name*
1) "lastname"
2) "firstname"
redis> KEYS a??
1) "age"
redis> KEYS *
1) "lastname"
2) "age"
3) "firstname"
In order to get all the keys available in redis server, you should open redis-cli and type:
KEYS *

If your redis is a cluster,you can use this script
#!/usr/bin/env bash
redis_list=("172.23.3.19:7001,172.23.3.19:7002,172.23.3.19:7003,172.23.3.19:7004,172.23.3.19:7005,172.23.3.19:7006")
arr=($(echo "$redis_list" | tr ',' '\n'))
for info in ${arr[#]}; do
echo "start :${info}"
redis_info=($(echo "$info" | tr ':' '\n'))
ip=${redis_info[0]}
port=${redis_info[1]}
echo "ip="${ip}",port="${port}
redis-cli -c -h $ip -p $port set laker$port '湖人总冠军'
redis-cli -c -h $ip -p $port keys \*
done
echo "end"
For the ones that wants a typescript helper (using ioredis)
import Redis from 'ioredis';
import { from, Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import { first, mergeMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
export function scanKeysFromRedis(redisStore: Redis.Redis, key: string,
target: number = 0, keys: string[] = []): Observable<string[]> {
return from(redisStore.scan(target, 'MATCH', key)).pipe(
first(),
mergeMap((_keys) => {
const _target = Number(_keys[0]);
if (_target !== 0) {
return scanKeysFromRedis(redisStore, key, _target, [...keys, ..._keys[1]]);
}
return of([...keys, ..._keys[1]]);
}),
);
}
and call it with: scanKeysFromRedis(store, 'hello');
If you are using Laravel Framework then you can simply use this:
$allKeyList = Redis::KEYS("*");
print_r($allKeyList);
In Core PHP:
$redis = new Redis();
$redis->connect('hostname', 6379);
$allKeyList = $redis->keys('*');
print_r($allKeyList);
You can simply connect to your redis server using redis-cli, select your database and type KEYS *, please remember it will give you all the keys present in selected redis database.
We should be using --scan --pattern with redis 2.8 and later.
You can try using this wrapper on top of redis-cli.
