1. Redis-replicator

1.1. Brief introduction

Redis Replicator implement Redis Replication protocol written in java. It can parse, filter, broadcast the RDB and AOF events in a real time manner. It also can synchronize redis data to your local cache or to database. The following I mentioned Command which means Writable Command(e.g. set,hmset) in Redis and excludes the Readable Command(e.g. get,hmget)

3.1. Replication via socket

        Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");
        replicator.addRdbListener(new RdbListener.Adaptor() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, KeyValuePair<?> kv) {
                System.out.println(kv);
            }
        });
        replicator.addCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, Command command) {
                System.out.println(command);
            }
        });
        replicator.open();

            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, Command command) {
                System.out.println(command);
            }
        });
        replicator.open();

            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, KeyValuePair<?> kv) {
                System.out.println(kv);
            }
        });
        replicator.addCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, Command command) {
                System.out.println(command);
            }
        });

4. Advanced topics

4.1. Command extension

4.1.1. Write a command

    public static class YourAppendCommand implements Command {
        private final String key;
        private final String value;
    
        public YourAppendCommand(String key, String value) {
            this.key = key;
            this.value = value;
        }
        
        public String getKey() {
            return key;
        }
        
        public String getValue() {
            return value;
        }
    
        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "YourAppendCommand{" +
                "key='" + key + '\'' +
                ", value='" + value + '\'' +
                '}';
            }
        }
    }

4.1.2. Write a command parser

    public class YourAppendParser implements CommandParser<YourAppendCommand> {

        @Override
        public YourAppendCommand parse(Object[] command) {
            return new YourAppendCommand(new String((byte[]) command[1], UTF_8), new String((byte[]) command[2], UTF_8));
        }
    }

4.1.3. Register this parser

    Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");
    replicator.addCommandParser(CommandName.name("APPEND"),new YourAppendParser());

4.1.4. Handle command event

    replicator.addCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
        @Override
        public void handle(Replicator replicator, Command command) {
            if(command instanceof YourAppendCommand){
                YourAppendCommand appendCommand = (YourAppendCommand)command;
                // your code goes here
            }
        }
    });

4.1.5. Put them together

See CommandExtensionExample.java

4.2. Module extension

4.2.1. Compile redis test modules

    $cd /path/to/redis-4.0-rc2/src/modules
    $make

4.2.2. Open comment in redis.conf

    loadmodule /path/to/redis-4.0-rc2/src/modules/hellotype.so

4.2.3. Write a module parser

    public class HelloTypeModuleParser implements ModuleParser<HelloTypeModule> {

        @Override
        public HelloTypeModule parse(RedisInputStream in, int version) throws IOException {
            DefaultRdbModuleParser parser = new DefaultRdbModuleParser(in);
            int elements = parser.loadUnsigned(version).intValue();
            long[] ary = new long[elements];
            int i = 0;
            while (elements-- > 0) {
                ary[i++] = parser.loadSigned(version);
            }
            return new HelloTypeModule(ary);
        }
    }

    public class HelloTypeModule implements Module {
        private final long[] value;

        public HelloTypeModule(long[] value) {
            this.value = value;
        }

        public long[] getValue() {
            return value;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "HelloTypeModule{" +
                    "value=" + Arrays.toString(value) +
                    '}';
        }
    }

4.2.4. Write a command parser

    public class HelloTypeParser implements CommandParser<HelloTypeCommand> {
        @Override
        public HelloTypeCommand parse(Object[] command) {
            String key = new String((byte[]) command[1], Constants.UTF_8);
            long value = Long.parseLong(new String((byte[]) command[2], Constants.UTF_8));
            return new HelloTypeCommand(key, value);
        }
    }

    public class HelloTypeCommand implements Command {
        private final String key;
        private final long value;

        public long getValue() {
            return value;
        }

        public String getKey() {
            return key;
        }

        public HelloTypeCommand(String key, long value) {
            this.key = key;
            this.value = value;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "HelloTypeCommand{" +
                    "key='" + key + '\'' +
                    ", value=" + value +
                    '}';
        }

    }

4.2.5. Register this module parser and command parser and handle event

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");
        replicator.addCommandParser(CommandName.name("hellotype.insert"), new HelloTypeParser());
        replicator.addModuleParser("hellotype", 0, new HelloTypeModuleParser());
        replicator.addRdbListener(new RdbListener.Adaptor() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, KeyValuePair<?> kv) {
                if (kv instanceof KeyStringValueModule) {
                    System.out.println(kv);
                }
            }
        });

        replicator.addCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, Command command) {
                if (command instanceof HelloTypeCommand) {
                    System.out.println(command);
                }
            }
        });

        replicator.open();
    }

4.2.6. Put them together

See ModuleExtensionExample.java

4.3. Write your own rdb parser

• Extends RdbVisitor
• Register your RdbVisitor to Replicator using setRdbVisitor method.

4.4. Event timeline

        |                     full resynchronization              |  partial resynchronization  |
        +-----------<--------------<-------------<----------<-----+--------------<-------<------+
        |                       RDB                               |            AOF              | <-reconnect

        |      |              |          |            |           |             |               |
          prefullsync    auxfields...  rdbs...   postfullsync                  cmds...       

4.5. Redis URI

Before redis-replicator-2.4.0, We construct RedisReplicator like the following:

Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("127.0.0.1", 6379, Configuration.defaultSetting());
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator(new File("/path/to/dump.rdb", FileType.RDB, Configuration.defaultSetting());
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator(new File("/path/to/appendonly.aof", FileType.AOF, Configuration.defaultSetting());
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator(new File("/path/to/appendonly.aof", FileType.MIXED, Configuration.defaultSetting());

After redis-replicator-2.4.0, We introduced a new concept(Redis URI) which simplify the constructor of RedisReplicator.

Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis:///path/to/dump.rdb");
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis:///path/to/appendonly.aof");

// configuration setting example
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379?authPassword=foobared&readTimeout=10000&ssl=yes");
Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis:///path/to/dump.rdb?rateLimit=1000000");

5.2. EOFException

• Adjust redis server setting like the following. more details please refer to redis.conf

    client-output-buffer-limit slave 0 0 0

WARNNING: this setting may run out of memory of redis server in some cases.

5.3. Trace event log

• Set log level to debug
• If you are using log4j2, add logger like the following:

    <Logger name="com.moilioncircle" level="debug">
        <AppenderRef ref="YourAppender"/>
    </Logger>

    Configuration.defaultSetting().setVerbose(true);
    // redis uri
    "redis://127.0.0.1:6379?verbose=yes"

5.4. SSL connection

    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/path/to/truststore");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "your_type");
    Configuration.defaultSetting().setSsl(true);
    //optional setting
    Configuration.defaultSetting().setSslSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory);
    Configuration.defaultSetting().setSslParameters(sslParameters);
    Configuration.defaultSetting().setHostnameVerifier(hostnameVerifier);

5.5. Auth

    Configuration.defaultSetting().setAuthPassword("foobared");
    // redis uri
    "redis://127.0.0.1:6379?authPassword=foobared"

5.6. Avoid full sync

• Adjust redis server setting like the following

    repl-backlog-size
    repl-backlog-ttl
    repl-ping-slave-periods

repl-ping-slave-period MUST less than Configuration.getReadTimeout(), default Configuration.getReadTimeout() is 30 seconds

5.7. FullSyncEvent

        Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");
        final long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        final AtomicInteger acc = new AtomicInteger(0);
        replicator.addRdbListener(new RdbListener() {
            @Override
            public void preFullSync(Replicator replicator) {
                System.out.println("pre full sync");
            }

            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, KeyValuePair<?> kv) {
                acc.incrementAndGet();
            }

            @Override
            public void postFullSync(Replicator replicator, long checksum) {
                long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
                System.out.println("time elapsed:" + (end - start));
                System.out.println("rdb event count:" + acc.get());
            }
        });
        replicator.open();

5.8. Handle raw bytes

• For any KeyValuePair type except KeyStringValueModule, we can get the raw bytes. In some cases(e.g. HyperLogLog),this is very useful.

        Replicator replicator = new RedisReplicator("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");
        replicator.addRdbListener(new RdbListener.Adaptor() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Replicator replicator, KeyValuePair<?> kv) {
                if (kv instanceof KeyStringValueString) {
                    KeyStringValueString ksvs = (KeyStringValueString) kv;
                    byte[] rawValue = ksvs.getRawValue();
                    // handle raw bytes value
                } else if (kv instanceof KeyStringValueHash) {
                    KeyStringValueHash ksvh = (KeyStringValueHash) kv;
                    Map<byte[], byte[]> rawValue = ksvh.getRawValue();
                    // handle raw bytes value
                } else {
                    ...
                }
            }
        });
        replicator.open();

For easy operation, the key of return type Map<byte[], byte[]> of KeyStringValueHash.getRawValue, we can get and put the key as value type

KeyStringValueHash ksvh = (KeyStringValueHash) kv;
Map<byte[], byte[]> rawValue = ksvh.getRawValue();
byte[] value = new byte[]{2};
rawValue.put(new byte[]{1}, value);
System.out.println(rawValue.get(new byte[]{1}) == value) //will print true 

Commands also support raw bytes.

SetCommand set = (SetCommand) command;
byte[] rawKey = set.getRawKey();
byte[] rawValue = set.getRawValue();

5.9. Handle huge key value pair

According to 4.3. Write your own rdb parser, This tool built in an Iterable Rdb Parser so that handle huge key value pair.
