   1 Redis TODO and Roadmap
   2 ----------------------
   3
   4 VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
   5 ============================================
   6
   7 * Support for syslog(3).
   8 * Change the implementation of ZCOUNT to use the augmented skiplist in order to be much faster.
   9
  10 VM TODO
  11 =======
  12
  13 * Use multiple open FDs against the VM file, one for thread.
  14 * Check what happens performance-wise if instead of creating threads again and again the same threads are reused forever. Note: this requires a way to disable this clients in the child, but waiting for empty new jobs queue can be enough.
  15
  16 STRING COMMANDS
  17 ===============
  18
  19 * Implement STRLEN, PEEK, POKE, SETBIT, GETBIT
  20
  21 OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL BE ADDED BUT I'M NOT SURE WHEN
  22 ===============================================================
  23
  24 BIG ONES:
  25
  26 * BRPOPLPUSH
  27 * Specially encoded memory-saving integer sets.
  28 * A command to export a JSON dump (there should be mostly working patch needing major reworking).
  29 * Specially encoded sets of integers (this includes a big refactoring providing an higher level layer for Sets manipulation)
  30
  31 SMALL ONES:
  32
  33 * If sizeof(double) == sizeof(void*) we could store the double value of sorted sets directly in place of the pointer instead of allocating it in the heap.
  34 * Delete on writes against expire policy should only happen after argument parsing for commands doing their own arg parsing stuff.
  35 * Give errors when incrementing a key that does not look like an integer, when providing as a sorted set score something can't be parsed as a double, and so forth.
  36 * MSADD (n keys) (n values). See this thread in the Redis google group: http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/browse_thread/thread/e766d84eb375cd41
  37 * Don't save empty lists / sets / zsets on disk with snapshotting.
  38 * Remove keys when a list / set / zset reaches length of 0.
  39 * An option to exec a command slave-side if the master connection is lost: even cooler: if the script returns "0" the slave elects itself as master, otherwise continue trying to reconnect.
  40 * PING the master from time to time to check if it's gone.
  41
  42 THE "MAYBE" TODO LIST: things that may or may not get implemented
  43 =================================================================
  44
  45 Most of this can be seen just as proposals, the fact they are in this list
  46 it's not a guarantee they'll ever get implemented ;)
  47
  48 * SORT: Don't copy the list into a vector when BY argument is constant.
  49 * Write the hash table size of every db in the dump, so that Redis can resize the hash table just one time when loading a big DB.
  50 * Byte Array type (BA prefixed commands): BASETBIT BAGETBIT BASETU8 U16 U32 U64 S8 S16 S32 S64, ability to atomically INCRBY all the base types. BARANGE to get a range of bytes as a bulk value, BASETRANGE to set a range of bytes.
  51 * Read-only mode.
  52 * Kill the delete-on-write behavior of expires, replicating DELs
  53 * Multiple BY in SORT.
  54
  55 KNOWN BUGS
  56 ==========
  57
  58 * LRANGE and other commands are using 32 bit integers for ranges, and overflows are not detected. So LRANGE mylist 0 23498204823094823904823904 will have random effects.
