DESCRIPTION

AnyEvent::RipeRedis is flexible non-blocking Redis client. Supports subscriptions, transactions and can automaticaly restore connection after failure.

Requires Redis 1.2 or higher, and any supported event loop.

CONSTRUCTOR

new( %params )

my $redis = AnyEvent::RipeRedis->new(
  host               => 'localhost',
  port               => 6379,
  password           => 'yourpass',
  database           => 7,
  connection_timeout => 5,
  read_timeout       => 5,
  lazy               => 1,
  reconnect_interval => 5,

  on_connect => sub {
    # handling...
  },

  on_disconnect => sub {
    # handling...
  },

  on_error => sub {
    my $err = shift;

    # error handling...
  },
);

host => $host

Server hostname (default: 127.0.0.1)

port => $port

Server port (default: 6379)

password => $password

If the password is specified, the AUTH command is sent to the server after connection.

database => $index

Database index. If the index is specified, the client switches to the specified database after connection. You can also switch to another database after connection by using SELECT command. The client remembers last selected database after reconnection and switches to it automaticaly.

The default database index is 0.

utf8 => $boolean

If enabled, all strings will be converted to UTF-8 before sending to the server, and all results will be decoded from UTF-8.

Enabled by default.

connection_timeout => $fractional_seconds

Specifies connection timeout. If the client could not connect to the server after specified timeout, the on_error callback is called with the E_CANT_CONN error. The timeout specifies in seconds and can contain a fractional part.

connection_timeout => 10.5,

By default the client use kernel's connection timeout.

read_timeout => $fractional_seconds

Specifies read timeout. If the client could not receive a reply from the server after specified timeout, the client close connection and call the on_error callback with the E_READ_TIMEDOUT error. The timeout is specifies in seconds and can contain a fractional part.

read_timeout => 3.5,

Not set by default.

lazy => $boolean

If enabled, the connection establishes at time when you will send the first command to the server. By default the connection establishes after calling of the new method.

Disabled by default.

reconnect => $boolean

If the connection to the server was lost and the parameter reconnect is TRUE (default), the client will try to restore the connection when you execute next command. The client will try to reconnect only once and, if attempt fails, the error object is passed to command callback. If you need several attempts of the reconnection, you must retry a command from the callback as many times, as you need. Such behavior allows to control reconnection procedure.

Enabled by default.

reconnect_interval => $fractional_seconds

If the parameter is specified, the client will try to reconnect only after this interval. Commands executed between reconnections will be queued.

reconnect_interval => 5,

Not set by default.

handle_params => \%params

Specifies AnyEvent::Handle parameters.

handle_params => {
  autocork => 1,
  linger   => 60,
}

Enabling of the autocork parameter can improve performance. See documentation on AnyEvent::Handle for more information.

on_connect => $cb->()

The on_connect callback is called when the connection is successfully established.

Not set by default.

on_disconnect => $cb->()

The on_disconnect callback is called when the connection is closed by any reason.

Not set by default.

on_error => $cb->( $err )

The on_error callback is called when occurred an error, which was affected on entire client (e. g. connection error or authentication error). Also the on_error callback is called on command errors if the command callback is not specified. If the on_error callback is not specified, the client just print an error messages to STDERR.

COMMAND EXECUTION

<command>( [ @args ] [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

To execute the command you must call specific method with corresponding name. The reply to the command is passed to the callback in first argument. If any error occurred during the command execution, the error object is passed to the callback in second argument. Error object is the instance of the class AnyEvent::RipeRedis::Error.

The command callback is optional. If it is not specified and any error occurred, the on_error callback of the client is called.

The full list of the Redis commands can be found here: http://redis.io/commands.

$redis->get( 'foo',
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      my $err_msg  = $err->message;
      my $err_code = $err->code;

      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    print "$reply\n";
  }
);

$redis->lrange( 'list', 0, -1,
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      my $err_msg  = $err->message;
      my $err_code = $err->code;

      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    foreach my $value ( @{$reply}  ) {
      print "$value\n";
    }
  }
);

$redis->incr( 'counter' );

You can execute multi-word commands like this:

$redis->client_getname(
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      my $err_msg  = $err->message;
      my $err_code = $err->code;

      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    print "$reply\n";
  }
);

execute( $command, [ @args ] [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

An alternative method to execute commands. In some cases it can be more convenient.

$redis->execute( 'get', 'foo',
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      my $err_msg  = $err->message;
      my $err_code = $err->code;

      return;
    }

    print "$reply\n";
  }
);

TRANSACTIONS

The detailed information about the Redis transactions can be found here: http://redis.io/topics/transactions.

multi( [ $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Marks the start of a transaction block. Subsequent commands will be queued for atomic execution using EXEC.

exec( [ $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Executes all previously queued commands in a transaction and restores the connection state to normal. When using WATCH, EXEC will execute commands only if the watched keys were not modified.

If during a transaction at least one command fails, to the callback will be passed error object, and the reply will be contain nested error objects for every failed command.

$redis->multi();
$redis->set( 'foo', 'string' );
$redis->incr('foo');    # causes an error
$redis->exec(
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      my $err_msg  = $err->message();
      my $err_code = $err->code();

      if ( defined $reply ) {
        foreach my $nested_reply ( @{$reply} ) {
          if ( ref($nested_reply) eq 'AnyEvent::RipeRedis::Error' ) {
            my $nested_err_msg  = $nested_reply->message();
            my $nested_err_code = $nested_reply->code();

            # error handling...
          }
        }

        return;
      }

      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    # reply handling...
  },
);

discard( [ $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Flushes all previously queued commands in a transaction and restores the connection state to normal.

If WATCH was used, DISCARD unwatches all keys.

watch( @keys [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Marks the given keys to be watched for conditional execution of a transaction.

unwatch( [ $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Forget about all watched keys.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Once the client enters the subscribed state it is not supposed to issue any other commands, except for additional SUBSCRIBE, PSUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, PUNSUBSCRIBE and QUIT commands.

The detailed information about Redis Pub/Sub can be found here: http://redis.io/topics/pubsub

Subscribes the client to the specified channels.

Method can accept two callbacks: on_reply and on_message. The on_reply callback is called when subscription to all specified channels will be activated. In first argument to the callback is passed the number of channels we are currently subscribed. If subscription to specified channels was lost, the on_reply callback is called with the error object in the second argument.

The on_message callback is called on every published message. If the subscribe method is called with one callback, this callback will be act as on_message callback.

$redis->subscribe( qw( foo bar ),
  { on_reply => sub {
      my $channels_num = shift;
      my $err          = shift;

      if ( defined $err ) {
        # error handling...

        return;
      }

      # reply handling...
    },

    on_message => sub {
      my $msg     = shift;
      my $channel = shift;

      # message handling...
    },
  }
);

$redis->subscribe( qw( foo bar ),
  sub {
    my $msg     = shift;
    my $channel = shift;

    # message handling...
  }
);

psubscribe( @patterns, ( $cb->( $msg, $pattern, $channel ) | \%cbs ) )

Subscribes the client to the given patterns. See subscribe() method for details.

$redis->psubscribe( qw( foo_* bar_* ),
  { on_reply => sub {
      my $channels_num = shift;
      my $err          = shift;

      if ( defined $err ) {
        # error handling...

        return;
      }

      # reply handling...
    },

    on_message => sub {
      my $msg     = shift;
      my $pattern = shift;
      my $channel = shift;

      # message handling...
    },
  }
);

$redis->psubscribe( qw( foo_* bar_* ),
  sub {
    my $msg     = shift;
    my $pattern = shift;
    my $channel = shift;

    # message handling...
  }
);

publish( $channel, $message [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Posts a message to the given channel.

unsubscribe( [ @channels ] [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Unsubscribes the client from the given channels, or from all of them if none is given. In first argument to the callback is passed the number of channels we are currently subscribed or zero if we were unsubscribed from all channels.

$redis->unsubscribe( qw( foo bar ),
  sub {
    my $channels_num = shift;
    my $err          = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    # reply handling...
  }
);

punsubscribe( [ @patterns ] [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Unsubscribes the client from the given patterns, or from all of them if none is given. See unsubscribe() method for details.

$redis->punsubscribe( qw( foo_* bar_* ),
  sub {
    my $channels_num = shift;
    my $err          = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    # reply handling...
  }
);

CONNECTION VIA UNIX-SOCKET

Redis 2.2 and higher support connection via UNIX domain socket. To connect via a UNIX-socket in the parameter host you have to specify unix/, and in the parameter port you have to specify the path to the socket.

my $redis = AnyEvent::RipeRedis->new(
  host => 'unix/',
  port => '/tmp/redis.sock',
);

LUA SCRIPTS EXECUTION

Redis 2.6 and higher support execution of Lua scripts on the server side. To execute a Lua script you can send one of the commands EVAL or EVALSHA, or use the special method eval_cached().

eval_cached( $script, $keys_num [, @keys ] [, @args ] [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] ] );

When you call the eval_cached() method, the client first generate a SHA1 hash for a Lua script and cache it in memory. Then the client optimistically send the EVALSHA command under the hood. If the E_NO_SCRIPT error will be returned, the client send the EVAL command.

If you call the eval_cached() method with the same Lua script, client don not generate a SHA1 hash for this script repeatedly, it gets a hash from the cache instead.

$redis->eval_cached( 'return { KEYS[1], KEYS[2], ARGV[1], ARGV[2] }',
    2, 'key1', 'key2', 'first', 'second',
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    foreach my $value ( @{$reply}  ) {
      print "$value\n";
    }
  }
);

Be care, passing a different Lua scripts to eval_cached() method every time cause memory leaks.

If Lua script returns multi-bulk reply with at least one error reply, to the callback will be passed error object, and the reply will be contain nested error objects.

$redis->eval_cached( "return { 'foo', redis.error_reply( 'Error.' ) }", 0,
  sub {
    my $reply = shift;
    my $err   = shift;

    if ( defined $err ) {
      my $err_msg  = $err->message;
      my $err_code = $err->code;

      if ( defined $reply ) {
        foreach my $nested_reply ( @{$reply} ) {
          if ( ref($nested_reply) eq 'AnyEvent::RipeRedis::Error' ) {
            my $nested_err_msg  = $nested_reply->message();
            my $nested_err_code = $nested_reply->code();

            # error handling...
          }
        }
      }

      # error handling...

      return;
    }

    # reply handling...
  }
);

ERROR CODES

Every error object, passed to callback, contain error code, which can be used for programmatic handling of errors. AnyEvent::RipeRedis provides constants for error codes. They can be imported and used in expressions.

use AnyEvent::RipeRedis qw( :err_codes );

E_CANT_CONN: Can't connect to the server. All operations were aborted.
E_LOADING_DATASET: Redis is loading the dataset in memory.
E_IO: Input/Output operation error. The connection to the Redis server was closed and all operations were aborted.
E_CONN_CLOSED_BY_REMOTE_HOST: The connection closed by remote host. All operations were aborted.
E_CONN_CLOSED_BY_CLIENT: Connection closed by client prematurely. Uncompleted operations were aborted.
E_NO_CONN: No connection to the Redis server. Connection was lost by any reason on previous operation.
E_OPRN_ERROR: Operation error. For example, wrong number of arguments for a command.
E_UNEXPECTED_DATA: The client received unexpected reply from the server. The connection to the Redis server was closed and all operations were aborted.
E_READ_TIMEDOUT: Read timed out. The connection to the Redis server was closed and all operations were aborted.

Error codes available since Redis 2.6.

E_NO_SCRIPT: No matching script. Use the EVAL command.
E_BUSY: Redis is busy running a script. You can only call SCRIPT KILL or SHUTDOWN NOSAVE.
E_MASTER_DOWN: Link with MASTER is down and slave-serve-stale-data is set to 'no'.
E_MISCONF: Redis is configured to save RDB snapshots, but is currently not able to persist on disk. Commands that may modify the data set are disabled. Please check Redis logs for details about the error.
E_READONLY: You can't write against a read only slave.
E_OOM: Command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'.
E_EXEC_ABORT: Transaction discarded because of previous errors.

Error codes available since Redis 2.8.

E_NO_AUTH: Authentication required.
E_WRONG_TYPE: Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value.
E_NO_REPLICAS: Not enough good slaves to write.
E_BUSY_KEY: Target key name already exists.

Error codes available since Redis 3.0.

E_CROSS_SLOT: Keys in request don't hash to the same slot.
E_TRY_AGAIN: Multiple keys request during rehashing of slot.
E_ASK: Redirection required. For more information see: http://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec
E_MOVED: Redirection required. For more information see: http://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec
E_CLUSTER_DOWN: The cluster is down or hash slot not served.

DISCONNECTION

When the connection to the server is no longer needed you can close it in three ways: call the method disconnect(), send the QUIT command or you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::RipeRedis object, but in this case the client object is destroyed without calling any callbacks, including the on_disconnect callback, to avoid an unexpected behavior.

disconnect()

The method for synchronous disconnection. All uncompleted operations will be aborted.

quit( [ $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

The method for asynchronous disconnection.

OTHER METHODS

info( [ $section ] [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Gets and parses information and statistics about the server. The result is passed to callback as a hash reference.

More information about INFO command can be found here: http://redis.io/commands/info

select( $index, [, $cb->( $reply, $err ) ] )

Selects the database by numeric index.

database()

Gets selected database index.

utf8( [ $boolean ] )

Enables or disables UTF-8 mode.

connection_timeout( [ $fractional_seconds ] )

Gets or sets the connection_timeout of the client. The undef value resets the connection_timeout to default value.

read_timeout( [ $fractional_seconds ] )

Gets or sets the read_timeout of the client.

reconnect( [ $boolean ] )

Enables or disables reconnection mode of the client.

reconnect_interval( [ $fractional_seconds ] )
