Executing batches of commands using redis cli - redis

I have a long text file of redis commands that I need to execute using the redis command line interface:
e.g.
DEL 9012012
DEL 1212
DEL 12214314
etc.
I can't seem to figure out a way to enter the commands faster than one at a time. There are several hundred thousands lines, so I don't want to just pile them all into one DEL command, they also don't need to all run at once.

the following code works for me with redis 2.4.7 on mac
./redis-cli < temp.redisCmds
Does that satisfy your requirements? Or are you looking to see if there's a way to programmatically do it faster?

If you don't want to make a file, use echo and \n
echo "DEL 9012012\nDEL 1212" | redis-cli

The redis-cli --pipe can be used for mass-insertion. It is available since 2.6-RC4 and in Redis 2.4.14.
For example:
cat data.txt | redis-cli --pipe
More info in: http://redis.io/topics/mass-insert

I know this is an old old thread, but adding this since it seems missed out among other answers, and one that works well for me.
Using heredoc works well here, if you don't want to use echo or explicitly add \n or create a new file -
redis-cli <<EOF
select 15
get a
EOF

How can I insert many values into a set via redis-cli or otherwise?

I am using redis-cli. I would like to add in a set the numbers 1 all the way to 4,500,000. How can I accomplish this? The docs for sadd do not mention how to do this. If this would involve having to type or paste in every single integer individually, this obviously won't work in the CLI, so is there another way programatically?
You can use a bash script for doing this.
Use 'seq' to create a list of numbers, loop over it and add the current iteration inside the set
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 10`
do
redis-cli sadd myset $i
done
In case you need to use redis-cli with host and port details, change the command accordingly: redis-cli -h -p
Once you have this ready in a .sh file, you can run it like:
bash redis_script.sh

How to insert a Line into a file in AIX using sed preferably?

I want to insert a line "new line" into a file "Textfile.txt" at line number 3 in AIX.
Before insertion Textfile.txt looks like
one
two
four
After Insertion Textfile.txt looks like
one
two
new line
four
I have already done it on Linux how ever with AIX I am finding it not working with solution of Linux.
Surprisingly I couldn't find a simple solution for this problem anywhere.
I am using this command in Linux and is working
echo "target_node = ${arr[0]}"
echo "target_file = ${arr[1]}"
echo "target_line = ${arr[2]}"
echo "target_text = ${arr[3]}"
escape "$(ssh -f ${arr[0]} "sed -i "${arr[2]}i$(escape ${arr[3]})" ${arr[1]}; exit")"
To sum the previous bits of information written as comments:
Option -i doesn't exist in AIX!sed, use a temporary file; the syntax of command is more strict than in Linux.
sed '2a\
Insert this after the 2nd line' "$target_file" >"$target_file.tmp"
mv -- "$target_file.tmp" "$target_file"
Hi Thanks for the help,
I created script in such a way that it copies the file to linux update changes and movies to AIX.

Can I make alias commands on redis-cli?

I have the impression Im always typing again and again the same commands
ZRANGE mykey 0 100 WITHSCORES
and it is quite repetitive as I have to juggle between maps, sets, and sorted sets (and the client is not great, I can't use the same shortcuts that I use in my terminal to delete the previous/next word for instance)
Is there a way, like in bash, to write our own scripts to make our life easier ?
e.g
LISTALL mykey
You can use Redis from bash with redis-cli if that is what you mean?
Then you can make bash aliases. So, in bash:
function LISTALL() { redis-cli "ZRANGE $1 0 100 WITHSCORES"; }
then you can do
LISTALL mykey
and use bash editing.

In Lettuce(4.x) for Redis how to reduce round trips and use output of one command as input for another command, especially for Georadius

I have seen this pass results to another command in redis
and using via command line this command works well :
src/redis-cli keys '*' | xargs src/redis-cli mget
However how can we achieve the same effect via Lettuce (i started trying out 4.0.2.Final)
Also a solution to this is particularly important in the following scenario :
Say we are using geolocation capabilities, and we add a set of locations of "my-location-category"
using GEOADD
GEOADD "category-1" 8.6638775 49.5282537 "location-id:1" 8.3796281 48.9978127 "location-id:2" 8.665351 49.553302 "location-id:3"
Next, say we do a GeoRadius to get locations within 10 km radius of 8.6582361 49.5285495 for "category-1"
Now when we get "location-id:1" & "location-id:3"
Given that I already set values for above keys "location-id:1" & "location-id:3"
I want to pipe commands to do the GEORADIUS as well as do mget on all the matching results.
Does Redis provide feature to do that?
and / or how can we achieve this via the Lettuce client library without first manually iterating through results of GEORADIUS and then do manual mget.
That would be more efficient performance for the program that uses it.
Does anyone know how we can do this ?
Update
This is the piped command for the scenario I discussed above :
src/redis-cli GEORADIUS "category-1" 8.6582361 49.5285495 10 km | xargs src/redis-cli mget
Now we need to know how to do this via Lettuce
IMPORTANT: never use KEYS, always use SCAN instead if you must.
This isn't really a question about Lettuce nor Java so I can actually answer it :)
What you're trying to do is use the results from a read operation (GEORADIUS) as input (key names) for another read operation (MGET). This type of flow can't be pipelined, well, just because of that - pipelining means that you don't need the answers for operations right away but in you case you do.
However.
Since you're reading String keys with MGET, you might as well just denormalize everything (remember, we're NoSQL) and store the contents of these keys in the Sorted Set's members, e.g.:
GEOADD "category-1" 8.6638775 49.5282537 "location-id:1:moredata:evenmoredata:{maybe a JSON document here}:orperhapsmsgpack"
This will allow you to get the locations and their "data" with one GEORADIUS call. Of course, any updates to location:1's data will need to be done across all categories.
A note about Lua scripts: while a Lua script could definitely save on the back and forth in this case, any such script will be against best practices/not cluster safe.
After digging around and studying Lua script, my conclusion is that removing round-trips in such a way can only be done via Lua scripts as suggested by Itamar Haber.
I ended up creating a lua script file (myscript.lua) as below
local locationKeys = redis.call('GEORADIUS', 'category-1', '8.6582361', '49.5285495', '10', 'km' )
if unpack(locationKeys) == nil then
return nil
else
return redis.call('MGET', unpack(locationKeys))
end
** of course we should be sending in parameters to this... this is just a poc :)
now you can execute it via command
src/redis-cli EVAL "$(cat myscript.lua)" 0
Then to reduce the network-overhead of sending across the entire script to Redis for execution, we have the option of registering the script with Redis.
Redis will give us a sha1 digested code for future references for that script, which can be used for next calls to that script.
This can be done as below :
src/redis-cli SCRIPT LOAD "$(cat myscript.lua)"
this should give back a sha1 code something like this : 49730aa2ed3034ee48f818e486tpbdf1b500b19e
next calls can be done using this code
eg
src/redis-cli evalsha 49730aa2ed3034ee48f818e486b2bdf1b500b19e 0
The sad part however here is that the sha1 digest is remembered only so long as the instance of redis is running. If it is restarted, that the sha1 digest is lost. Then you do the SCRIPT LOAD once again. And if nothing changes in the script, then the sha1-digest code will be the same.
Ideally while using through client api, we should first attempt evalsha, if that returns a "No matching script" error, then as a fallback do script load, and procure the sha1 code once again, and create an internal map of that and use that sha1 code for further calls.
This can well be done via Lettuce. I could find the methods for those. Hope this gives a good insight into solution for the problem.

redis-cli pipeling, how to finish input?

According to redis manual (http://redis.io/topics/mass-insert), I do the following from command line (debian):
dev#dev:~$ redis-cli --pipe
*3\r\n$3\r\nSET\r\n$3\r\nkey\r\n$5\r\nvalue\r\n
What is corresponds to
SET key value
command for redis-server...
Now, how to "commit" (send) that command to server?
Can't find any ways... It was an examples with text files, but I need to commit manually...
Redis should commit everything automatically unless you're inside a MULTI block.
