This is the official Redis package for the metacrunch ETL toolkit.

and run $ bundle install to install it.

Or install it manually

$ gem install metacrunch-redis

Note: For working examples on how to use this package check out our demo repository.

This class provides a metacrunch source implementation that can be used to read data from a Redis queue/list into a metacrunch job.

# my_job.metacrunch

# connect to redis
redis = Redis.new(url: "redis://localhost:6379/my-db")

# Set the source
source Metacrunch::Redis::QueueSource.new(redis, "my-list" [, OPTIONS])

Options

• :blocking_mode: When set to true the source will block and waits for new data if the redis list is empty. Defaults to false.

This class provides a metacrunch destination implementation that can be used to write data from a metacrunch job into a redis queue/list.

Redis only stores strings as values. If you want to store an object, you can use a serialization mechanism such as JSON. You can use a transformation to convert your data into JSON format before your data reaches the destination.

In case Redis reaches it's maxmemory limit during write, the implementation will wait for 10 seconds and tries to write the data again. That means you can set a proper maxmemory limit for your Redis instance and don't need to worry about your metacrunch jobs getting aborted.

# my_job.metacrunch

# Prepare the data to be stored. 
transformation ->(data) do
  # Return json for the destination
  data.to_json
end

# Write data into redis queue
destination Metacrunch::Redis::QueueDestination.new(redis, "my-list" [, OPTIONS])

Options

• :save_on_close: When set to true a Redis bgsave will be performed when the destination is closed. Defaults to false.
