Aerospike Ruby Adapter for Redis

Gem Version

Try Aerospike as a back-end replacement for Redis in Ruby applications.

The aim of this gem is to facilitate trying Aerospike in your Redis-backed Ruby application without the need to learn a new API or modifications to existing codes, as long as the Redis commands used are within the subset supported by this gem.

If you are using Redis as a cache or session store in Ruby on Rails applications, an Aerospike-backed cache and session store is already available: Aerospike::Store.

Aerospike offers seamless clustering and SSD-optimized data persistence. Find out more about Aerospike.

Dependencies

These gems will be installed automatically using bundle.

Installation

Installation from RubyGems:

$ gem install aerospike-redis

Usage

Specify Aerospike as the driver when creating the Redis client instance:

require 'redis'
require 'aerospike'
require 'aerospike/redis'

redis = Redis.new(:driver => :aerospike)

It is possible to pass Aerospike config options here. Defaults are:

redis = Redis.new(:driver => :aerospike,
                  :host => '127.0.0.1',
                  :port => 3000,
                  :namespace => 'test',
                  :set => 'test',
                  :bin => 'redis')

How does it work

It works as a driver for Redis client, redirecting Redis commands to Aerospike instead of writing to a Redis connection. Thanks to the extensible architecture of the Redis Ruby Client that makes this possible.

Parts of the Redis API are directly supported by the Aerospike API, while most of the functions are implemented through calling UDFs.

Supported commands

Currently most of the Keys, Strings, and Lists commands are supported:

Keys

DEL, EXISTS, EXPIRE, EXPIREAT, PERSIST, PEXPIRE, PTTL, TTL

Notes: PEXPIRE and PTTL just convert milliseconds to seconds as Aerospike does not provide milliseconds precision to the client.

Strings

APPEND, DECR, DECRBY, GET, GETRANGE, GETSET, INCR, INCRBY, INCRBYFLOAT, MGET, MSET, MSETNX, PSETEX, SET, SETEX, SETNX, SETRANGE ,STRLEN

Notes: Implementation of GETSET is not atomic, it executes two separate commands from the client.

Lists

LINDEX, LINSERT, LLEN, LPOP, LPUSH, LPUSHX, LRANGE, LREM, LSET, LTRIM, RPOP, RPOPLPUSH, RPUSH, RPUSHX

Notes: Implementation of RPOPLPUSHGETSET is not atomic, it executes two separate commands from the client.

Testing

A test suite is provided comparing the result of calling the same function through Aerospike vs. Redis.

These tests are completely based on a subset of Redis Ruby Client tests.

$ bundle exec rspec
