Redis TODO and Roadmap
-VERSION 1.4 TODO (Hash type)
-============================
+VERSION 2.0 TODO
+================
* BRPOPLPUSH
* List ops like L/RPUSH L/RPOP should return the new list length.
* Divide swappability of objects by refcount
* it should be possible to give the vm-max-memory option in megabyte, gigabyte, ..., just using 2GB, 100MB, and so forth.
* Try to understand what can be moved into I/O threads that currently is instead handled by the main thread. For instance swapping file table scannig to find contiguous page could be a potential candidate (but I'm not convinced it's a good idea, better to improve the algorithm, for instance double the fast forward at every step?).
+* Possibly decrRefCount() against swapped objects can be moved into I/O threads, as it's a slow operation against million elements list, and in general consumes CPU time that can be consumed by other threads (and cores).
* EXISTS should avoid loading the object if possible without too make the code too specialized.
* vm-min-age <seconds> option
+* Make sure objects loaded from the VM are specially encoded when possible.
+* Check what happens performance-wise if instead to create 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.
+* Sets of integers are slow to load, for a number of reasons. Fix it. (use slow_sets.rdb file for debugging).
-* Hashes (HSET, HGET, HDEL, HEXISTS, HLEN, ...).
+* Hashes (GET/SET/DEL/INCRBY/EXISTS/FIELDS/LEN/MSET/MGET). Special encoding for hashes with less than N elements.
+* Write documentation for APPEND
+* Implement LEN, SUBSTR, PEEK, POKE, SETBIT, GETBIT
VERSION 2.2 TODO (Fault tolerant sharding)
===========================================
* 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.
-VERSION 2.6 TODO (Optimizations and latency)
-============================================
-
-* 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.
-
OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL BE ADDED BUT I'M NOT SURE WHEN
===============================================================
