There is redis documentation for this, which is literally the first result for searching "pipelining redis":
https://redis.io/topics/pipelining https://redis.io/topics/pipelining
HN has a standard which at minimum is above LMGTFY.
- misterbowfinger 9y agoWoah chill out. I don't think it's that big of a deal to ask a question, especially for newbies who find documentation intimidating and tough to get through.
- fhayde 9y agoTo be fair, if getting through the documentation for a feature is tough, then engaging in the discussion about its performance and the potential impacts of these recent mitigations will be much, much more difficult.
- misterbowfinger 9y agoThat's fair. Although I usually look to HN to hopefully find someone who provides clarity over situations like this. Performance impacts are really easy to interpret incorrectly.
- doublerebel 9y agoI can see from your profile that your account is "half troll", and there is not really room for troll accounts on HN, while we do value legitimate "devil's advocate" or contrary positions. This is how we maintain our level of discourse. In the old days of the internet, asking for anything searchable is the action of last resort, and generally considered quite rude unless truly unfindable or incomprehensible. Taking action on one's own intellectual curiosity is invaluable for education.
- misterbowfinger 9y agoI can see from your profile that your account is "Founder+CTO" and thank god I don't work for someone as pretentious and sanctimonious as you. In all honesty, a dumb question is a dumb question, sure. If you don't want to answer it, that's ok. But don't get so high-minded about it.
- nickrivadeneira 9y agoWhile the delivery leaves something to be desired, I second what he's saying. You're essentially telling people "please do the work for me since I'm too lazy to". It's the kind of low effort post that plagues reddit. I love reddit, but appreciate that there's an alternative for higher quality discussion. Part of keeping discussion high quality is signaling to others what's acceptable and not acceptable. Simply ignoring your question wouldn't communicate to others that questions like yours should be avoided.
- misterbowfinger 9y agoI get that. I'm happy to be downvoted to oblivion :) Although, in a lower comment, talking through how the performance benchmarks were about using Redis for persistence was really helpful to me. I don't think I would have ever had that realization had I not asked the "dumb question" at first. My hesitation with just asking my real question on using Redis for caching was that I didn't really understand what "pipelining" is. I've misinterpreted documentation so many times that I've found it's useful to ask dumb questions, even if the only value is to get validation that you were right.

- Axsuul 9y agoNot to play devil's advocate here but there's no harm in labeling oneself as a troll unless his actions meet the criteria. I certainly don't believe he's trolling in this instance nor do his previous comments suggest past behavior of such. Anyways, just wanted to point out that this is a straw man argument.
