redis-pyinterval

Extension of the python library for Redis with the Interval sets extension of Redis.

How to install

You can install project using pip:

$> pip install redis_pyinterval

You can also install via source code:

$> git clone [email protected]/globocom/redis-pyinterval.git
$> cd redis-pyinterval
$> python setup.py install

How it works

We extend the library redis-py to enable new Redis methods implemented by a Redis fork. This fork creates a new data structure for redis called Interval sets. trhough 4 new methods we can use the Intervals through Redis:

• iadd # Adds new data into some interval
• irem # Removes all occurrences of data in any interval
• irembystab # Removes by the stabbed data
• istab # Searches for data

For more details about this Redis fork, please refer to this blog post.

At this project, we extend the class StrictRedis from library redis-py and add the 4 methods listed above. As the implementation is an extension, every other method from redis library could be used you always used.

How to use

from redis_interval.client import RedisInterval


# Connects to a Redis server
redis = RedisInterval(host="localhost")

# Inserts data into inside an interval
redis.iadd("interval_set", 0, 10, "Value")
redis.iadd("interval_set", 0, 10, "Other value")
redis.iadd("interval_set", 1000, 1050, "Value in a new interval")
redis.iadd("interval_set", 1000, 1050, "Value")

# Removes data from any intervals that contains the given value
redis.irem("interval_set", "Value")

# Searches for a data given a number that is inside some interval
redis.istab("iterval_set", 5)

Methods interfaces

def iadd(self, key=None, start=0, end=0, value=None)
def irem(self, key, value=None)
def irembystab(self, stab=None)
def istab(self, key=None, value=None)

Contributing

We are not stringent with that. Just fork, do some improvements and send us a Pull Request. It would be very nice if you write some tests and describe well what are your contributions.

Testing

We use pytest for running tests. If you want to run them just do the following steps:

1. Install dependencies

$> pip install -r requirements_test.txt

2. Run the test suite

$> python setup.py test

Remember that you need to have the Redis fork running at localhost. To help you with that, we built a docker image with it.
