<title>Overview</title>
<para>
This module provides a connector to interact with REDIS NoSQL Database
from configuration file. You can read more about REDIS at
http://redis.io.
</para>
<para>
It can connect to many REDIS servers and store the results in different
containers.

<title>Parameters</title>
<section id="ndb_redis.p.server">
<title><varname>server</varname> (str)</title>
<para>
Specify the details to connect to REDIS server. It takes a list of attribute=value
separated by semicolon, the attributes can be name, unix, addr, port, db and pass. Name
is a generic identifier to be used with module functions. unix is the path to the unix
domain socket provided by redis server. addr and port are the IP address and the port to
connect to REDIS server. pass is the server password. unix and (addr, port) are mutually
exclusive. If both appear in same server settings unix domain socket is configured. db
is the DB number to use (defaults to 0 if not specified).
</para>
<para>
You can set this parameter many times, in case you want to connect to
many REDIS servers, just give different attributes and use the specific
server name when querying the REDIS instance.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>
Default value is NULL.

<title>Functions</title>
<section id="ndb_redis.f.redis_cmd">
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">redis_cmd(srvname, command, ..., replyid)</function>
</title>
<para>
Send a command to REDIS server identified by srvname. The reply will
be stored in a local container identified by replyid. All the
parameters can be strings with pseudo-variables that are evaluated
at runtime.
</para>
<para>
Minimum required arguments are srvname, command and replyid. Command argument
can be separated into several ones using %s token. (See examples)
Total number of arguments cannot exceed six.
</para>
<para>
The reply can be accessed via pseudo-variable $redis(key). The key
can be: type - type of the reply (as in hiredis.h); value - the value
returned by REDIS server; info - in case of error from REDIS, it will
contain an info message.
</para>
<para>
If reply type is an array (as in hiredis.h), there are other keys
available:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
size - returns number of elements in the array.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
type[n] - returns the type of the nth element in the array. type
- returns array type.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
value[n] - returns value of the nth element. value - returns null
for an array. You need to get each element by index.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<example>
<title><function>redis_cmd</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
if(redis_cmd("srvN", "INCR cnt", "r")) {
# success - the incremented value is in $redis(r=>value)
xlog("===== $redis(r=>type) * $redis(r=>value)\n");
}
# set a value
redis_cmd("srvN", "SET foo bar", "r");
redis_cmd("srvN", "SET ruri $ru", "r");
# get a value
redis_cmd("srvN", "GET foo", "r");
# same command separated into two arguments:
redis_cmd("srvN", "GET %s", "foo", "r");
# if we have a key with spaces within it:
redis_cmd("srvN", "GET %s", "foo bar", "r");
# several values substitution:
redis_cmd("srvN", "HMGET %s %s %s", "key1", "field1", "field2", "r");
# array example
if(redis_cmd("srvN", "HMGET foo_key field1 field3", "r")) {
xlog("array size: $redis(r=>size)\n");
xlog("first values: $redis(r=>value[0]) , $redis(r=>value[1])\n");
}

<section id="ndb_redis.f.redis_free">
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">redis_free(replyid)</function>
</title>
<para>
Frees data in a previous reply from memory.
After this function call, accessing to a freed replyid returns null value.
</para>
<para>
It is not necessary to free a reply to use it again in a new redis_cmd
function. When ndb_redis module closes, all pending replies are freed
automatically.
</para>
