README

        
An *Erlang* version of [Redis](http://redis.io), with the goal of similar algorithmic performance but support for multiple master nodes and larger-than-RAM datasets. For [More info](http://inakanetworks.com/assets/pdf//Edis_Implementing_Redis_In_Erlang.pdf), see this PDF of a Talk at Erlang Factory 2012.

## Usage

Just run `$ make run` and open connections with your favourite redis client.

## Differences with Redis

### Different Behaviour

* _SAVE_, _BGSAVE_ and _LASTSAVE_ are database dependent. The original Redis saves all databases at once, edis saves just the one you _SELECT_'ed.

* _INFO_ provides much less information and no statistics (so, _CONFIG RESETSTAT_ does nothing at all)

* _MULTI_ doesn't support:

  - cross-db commands (i.e. _FLUSHALL_, _SELECT_, _MOVE_)

  - non-db commands (i.e _AUTH_, _CONFIG *_, _SHUTDOWN_, _MONITOR_)

  - pub/sub commands (i.e. _PUBLISH_, _SUBSCRIBE_, _UNSUBSCRIBE_, _PSUBSCRIBE_, _PUNSUBSCRIBE_)

* _(P)UNSUBSCRIBE_ commands are not allowed outside _PUBSUB_ mode

* _PUBLISH_ response is not precise: it's the amount of all clients subscribed to any channel and/or pattern, not just those that will handle the message. On the other hand it runs in _O(1)_ because it's asynchronous, it just dispatches the message.

### Missing Features

* Dynamic node configuration (i.e. the _SLAVEOF_ command is not implemented)

* Encoding optimization (i.e. all objects are encoded as binary representations of erlang terms, so for instance "123" will never be stored as an int)

* _OBJECT REFCOUNT_ allways returns 1 for existing keys and (nil) otherwise

### Unsupported Commands

_SYNC_, _SLOWLOG_, _SLAVEOF_, _DEBUG *_

### TODO

* Backends

  * HanoiDB

    * Make use of the efficient range searchs with start/end for searching ranges

    * Make use of time-based key expiry

    * Finish the TODO items
