 Redis TODO and Roadmap
 Redis TODO and Roadmap

+----------------------

 
 

-VERSION 1.4 TODO (Hash type)
-============================
-
-* Blocking LPOP (BLPOP).
-* Hashes (HSET, HGET, HEXISTS, HLEN, ...).
-* List ops like L/RPUSH L/RPOP should return the new list length.
-
-VERSION 1.6 TODO (Virtual memory)
-=================================
-
-* Redis Virtual Memory for datasets bigger than RAM (http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/msg/752997c7b38553cd)
-
-VERSION 1.8 TODO (Fault tollerant sharding)
-===========================================
-
-* Redis-cluster, a fast intermediate layer (proxy) that implements consistent hashing and fault tollerant nodes handling.
-
-Interesting readings about this:

-VERSION 2.0 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
+VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency)

 ============================================
 
 * Lower the CPU usage.
 * Lower the RAM usage everywhere possible.

-* Use epool and alike to rewrite ae.c for Linux and other platforms suppporting fater-than-select() mutiplexing APIs.
-* Implement an UDP interface for low-latency GET/SET operations.
+* Specially encoded Sets (like Hashes).
+* Implement an UDP interface for low-latency operations.
+* What about a special coding that is about storing the "rdb" serialized format instead of the actual value? This can be used when we have LRU in order to super-compress data into memory, for data not accessed frequetly. It's a VM-alike strategy but fully in memory, may reduce the space to hold some dataset in an impressive way. Trivial to implement.
+* Another idea: LRU does not need to be super precise right? Maybe it's a good idea to just put into the skiplist implementing the LRU just the pointer to the key without evne incr/decr business, nor the need to remove the pointer when the key is deleted. There is to think more about that.

 
 

-VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
-============================================
+VERSION 2.x TODO
+================
+
+* BRPOPLPUSH
+* Save dataset / fsync() on SIGTERM
+* Change the implementation of ZCOUNT to use the augmented skiplist in order to be much faster.

 
 

-* JSON command able to access data serialized in JSON format. For instance if I've a key foobar with a json object I can alter the "name" file using somthing like: "JSON SET foobar name Kevin". We should have GET and INCRBY as well.
+Virtual Memory optimizations:
+* Use multiple open FDs against the VM file, one for thread.
+* 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.
+* Implement LEN, PEEK, POKE, SETBIT, GETBIT

 SMALL ONES:
 

+* 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.
+* Delete on writes against expire policy should only happen after argument parsing for commands doing their own arg parsing stuff.

 * 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.
 * MSADD (n keys) (n values). See this thread in the Redis google group: http://groups.google.com/group/redis-db/browse_thread/thread/e766d84eb375cd41
 * Don't save empty lists / sets / zsets on disk with snapshotting.
 * Remove keys when a list / set / zset reaches length of 0.

+* 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.
+* PING the master from time to time to check if it's gone.
