RedisGears Module

Dynamic execution framework for your Redis data:

Docker

To quickly tryout RedisGears, launch an instance using docker:

docker run redislabs/redisgears:latest

Build

Prerequisites

• Install Redis 5.0 on you machine.
• On Mac OSX (High Sierra), install Xcode command line tools:

xcode-select --install

• Run: make setup

Compile

sudo mkdir -p /opt
make fetch # this will aquire git submodules
make all

Notice that part of the compilation is to create the gears virtual environment under /opt/redislabs/lib/modules/python3/

Run

If you running gears on the same machine on which it was compile then its enough just loading the RedisGears module:

—loamodule <path to redisgears.so

If you run RedisGears on another machine, some extra setup is needed. For RedisGears to run properly, it needs to have the virtual environment which was created when it was compiled. All the required files are located in /opt/redislabs/lib/modules/python3 make sure to copy this directory to the machine where Redis is running and to the same path (i.e /opt/redislabs/lib/modules/python3).

Tests

Tests are written in python using the RLTest library.

$ make test

Client libraries

Currently there is no special RedisGears client, that said, any client that allows sending custom commands to Redis should be enough.

Cluster Support

All of RedisGears' operations are fully supported on OSS and Enterprise clusters. Note that the module needs to be loaded on all the cluster nodes. In addition, on OSS cluster, after setting up the cluster you need to run RG.REFRESHCLUSTER on each node.
