How to store array of hashes in redis
14,836
Solution 1
The only way AFAIK is to de-reference them. Say you have an array of 2 hashes like: {foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'}
.
You'd store them separately, and then create a SET that references them all:
HMSET myarr:0 foo bar baz qux
SADD myarr myarr:0
HMSET myarr:1 foo bar baz qux
SADD myarr myarr:1
Then you can retrieve them all by querying the set: SMEMBERS myarr
and then call HGETALL <key>
on all the returned keys to rebuild your original array of hashes.
I hope this makes sense. And if you find a smarter way I'd be happy to hear it.
Solution 2
If you are using a language which supports to/from json conversion, you can convert your hash to json and append it in a list. You can do the following in Ruby:
require 'rubygems'
require 'redis'
require 'json'
require 'pp'
redis = Redis.new(:host => '127.0.0.1', :port => 6379)
h1 = { :k1 => 'v1', :k2 => 'v2' }
redis.rpush('arr', h1.to_json)
h2 = { :k3 => 'v3', :k4 => 'v4' }
redis.rpush('arr', h2.to_json)
hashes = redis.lrange('arr', 0, -1)
hashes.map! { |x| JSON.parse(x) }
pp hashes

I want to store array of hashes in redis , what is best way to code it ?
-
radtek about 6 yearsThat's the way to do it!

RandallB almost 6 yearsThis has atomicity problems... if someone updates a field in the hash, etc.
-
MoxGeek about 5 yearsthat make the logic more complex if you need to remove or edit a hash ...

EvgenyKolyakov about 2 yearsThis is also super slow 😓
