DESCRIPTION

Redis Cluster is HA solution for Redis. This module provides the same API as Redis.pm and deals with:

  • Cluster state

  • Connection pool

  • Node selection (hash tags are supported)

  • Key slot redirects

  • Execution of read-only commands on slave nodes (opional)

PUBLIC METHODS

new

my $cluster = Redis::Cluster->new(
  server         => [qw(
    127.0.0.1:7000 127.0.0.1:7001 127.0.0.1:7002
    127.0.0.1:7003 127.0.0.1:7004 127.0.0.1:7005
  )],
  # Default values below
  refresh        => 0,
  max_redirects  => 5,
  max_queue_size => 10,
  allow_slave    => 0,
  default_slot   => undef,
  ...
);

Constructor. Returns Redis::Cluster object.

server

Cluster nodes (mandatory). Should be an ArrayRef or comma separated string. Every node should be described as ip:port. You should specify at least three (prefferably master) nodes. This nodes will be used to get cluster state, other nodes will be found automatically.

refresh

Cluster state refresh interval (in seconds). If set to zero, cluster state will be updated only on MOVED redirect.

max_redirects

Maximum number of key slot redirects (to avoid infinite redirects)

max_queue_size

Maximum internal queue size (used in 'multi' mode)

allow_slave

Allow execution of read-only commands on slave nodes

default_slot

This key slot is used for execution of commands without keys in arguments. If not specified, random key slot will be used, and command will be executed on a random master node.

get_master_by_key

my $redis = $cluster->get_master_by_key($key);

Get master node by key. Returns Redis object.

get_slave_by_key

$redis = $cluster->get_slave_by_key($key, $num);

Get slave node by key. Returns Redis object.

$num is a slave number (1 - first slave, ...). If not specified, random slave node will be returned.

get_node_by_key

$redis = $cluster->get_node_by_key($key, $num);

Get any node (master or slave) by key. Returns Redis object.

$num is a node number (1 - master, 2 - first slave, ...). If not specified, random node will be returned.

get_node

$redis = $cluster->get_node($node)

Get node by ip:port. Returns Redis object. Node should be a member of cluster.

PRIVATE METHODS

_exec_cmd

my $res = $cluster->_exec_cmd($cmd, @args);

Execute Redis command. Returns command execution result.

_enqueue

$cluster->_enqueue($cmd, @args);

Enqueue command into internal queue (used in 'multi' mode).

_set_mode_by_cmd

$cluster->_set_mode_by_cmd($cmd)

Set mode by command (multi, exec, discard, watch, unwatch).

_on_error

my $res = $cluster->_on_error($redis, $cmd, \@args, $err_msg);

Error handler. Retries command on another node on redirect. Returns command execution result.

_get_slot_by_key

my $slot = $cluster->_get_slot_by_key($key);

Get slot by key. Returns slot number.

_get_master_by_slot

$redis = $cluster->_get_master_by_slot($slot);

Get master node by slot number. Returns Redis object.

_get_slave_by_slot

$redis = $cluster->_get_slave_by_slot($slot, $num);

Get slave node by slot number. Returns Redis object.

$num is a slave number (1 - first slave, ...). If not specified, random slave node will be returned.

_get_node_by_slot

$redis = $cluster->_get_node_by_slot($slot, $num, $offset);

Get any node (master or slave) by slot number. Return Redis object.

$num is a node number (1 - master, 2 - first slave, ...). If not specified, random node will be returned.

$offset is a node offset (0 - any node, 1 - any slave, ...).

_get_range_by_slot

my $range = $cluster->_get_range_by_slot($slot);

Get slot range by slot number. Returns an item of 'cluster slots' command excution result (ArrayRef).

_get_slots

my $slots = $cluster->_get_slots($force);

Get slots (cluster state). Returns 'cluster slots' command execution result (ArrayRef).

If $force flag is set, cluster state will be obtained immediately, ignoring 'refresh' property.

_get_node

$redis = $cluster->_get_node($node);

Get node by ip:port. Returns Redis object.

_is_member

my $is_member = $cluster->_is_member($node)

Check if node is a member of cluster by ip:port. Returns boolean.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Commands with keys in arguments will be executed on node, selected by first key. In 'watch' and/or 'multi' mode node will be selected by first key of first command with key. All commands prior to first command with key will be enqueued into internal queue. It means that the same master node will be selected from 'watch' or 'multi' command till 'exec', 'discard' or 'unwatch'.

    All multi-key commands should be in a single key slot. It is a Redis Cluster limitation. You should use hash tags to avoid issues.

  • Redirects are not allowed inside 'multi' and/or 'watch'. Using Lua scripts instead of transactions is highly recommended.

  • Unlike Redis.pm, there is a fixed list of supported commands with keys in arguments. It means there may be some issues with new commands until they are supported by authors of this module.
