Hi Antirez,
>to wait for Redis VM implementation (virtual memory)
When can we expect this?
- antirez 17y agoIt's something like two release away. The next release will implement the Hash type, needed for virtual memory so that applications can be designed to put data that is accessed with similar patterns in the same hash. The release after this VM will be implemented. It's something like <= 6 months.
- vdm 17y agoWow! It's not every day an open source developer gives an estimate for a future feature. I'm impressed.
- mahmud 17y agoIs the hash-type gonna be in the protocol? (along with lists, sets, ordered sets, etc.)? That would kick so much ass antirez, you have no idea. Do you want user input? coding? I will do everything necessary to get a nice Redis interface for Genhash: http://cdr.eurolisp.org/document/2/genhash.html http://cdr.eurolisp.org/document/2/genhash.html If that document looks cryptic to you just let me know and I can put it in C terms. This fucking rocks!
- antirez 17y agoHello yes the hash type is going to be one of the Redis built-in types. Will suport simple operations like HGET, HSET, HINCRBY, HEXISTS, and so forth. Not sure how Gethash relates to this ;)
- mahmud 17y agoHGET, HSET, HEXISTS, and HDEL are all I will need to implement genhash on top of Redis. Perfect. Tonight we're rolling out yet another Redis application; as a backend "session-database" for a server farm. It's only 2-3 slower than shared memory, and just about the same speed as message passing. Keep up the good work!
- antirez 17y agoOh, now I understand, if I give you this basic api you can implement genhash! Ok got it. Very happy to read you are rolling out Redis servers, it is cool to see such a great community feedbacks after just 9 months of the first line of code written :)
