31 <i>Time complexity: O(
1)
</i><blockquote>Sets or clears the bit at
<i>offset
</i> in the string value stored at
<i>key
</i>.
</blockquote>
32 The bit is either set or cleared depending on
<i>value
</i>, which can be either
0 or
1. When
<i>key
</i> does not exist, a new string value is created. The string is grown to make sure it can hold a bit at
<i>offset
</i>. The
<i>offset
</i> argument is required to be greater than or equal to
0, and is limited to
2<sup>32-
1 (which limits bitmaps to
512MB).
33 When the string at
<i>key
</i> is grown, added bits are set to
0.
<br/><br/><b>Warning
</b>: When setting the last possible bit (
<i>offset
</i> equal to
2</sup>32-
1) and the string value stored at
<i>key
</i> does not yet hold a string value, or holds a small string value, Redis needs to allocate all intermediate memory which can block the server for some time.
34 On a
2010 Macbook Pro, setting bit number
2<sup>32-
1 (
512MB allocation) takes ~
300ms,
35 setting bit number
2</sup>30-
1 (
128MB allocation) takes ~
80ms,
36 setting bit number
2<sup>28-
1 (
32MB allocation) takes ~
30ms and
37 setting bit number
2</sup>26-
1 (
8MB allocation) takes ~
8ms.
38 Note that once this first allocation is done, subsequent calls to SETBIT for the same
<i>key
</i> will not have the allocation overhead.
