Stream commands

For redis >= 5. We only support a subset of the commands for now.

val xadd : connection -> string -> ?maxlen:[ `Exact of int | `Approximate of int ] -> ?id:string -> (string * string) list -> string IO.t

Add a stream event, as a list of key-value pairs, to the given stream.

  • returns

    the ID of the new event

  • parameter maxlen

    can be used to trim the stream.

  • parameter id

    specify a custom ID. Most of the of time you don't want to set this.

    @see the official doc

  • since 0.5
val xdel : connection -> string -> string list -> int IO.t

Delete specific stream events. Should be rarely useful.

  • since 0.5
val xlen : connection -> string -> int IO.t

Length of a stream. @see https://redis.io/commands/xlen .

  • since 0.5
val xtrim : connection -> string -> maxlen:[ `Exact of int | `Approximate of int ] -> unit -> int IO.t

Trim stream to the given maximum length.

  • parameter maxlen

    the maximum number of entries to preserve, prioritizing the most recent ones. `Approximate n is faster, and should be preferred.

  • since 0.5
type stream_event = string * (string * string) list

A stream event as returned by Redis. It is composed of a stream ID (timestamp + counter), and a list of key/value pairs.

  • since 0.5
val xrange : connection -> string -> start:StringBound.t -> end_:StringBound.t -> ?count:int -> unit -> stream_event list IO.t

xrange connection stream ~start ~end_ () returns a range of events in the stream.

  • parameter start

    beginning of the range. It can be one of:

    • StringBound.NegInfinity ("-" in the doc) to indicate the earliest possible time
    • StringBound.Inclusive "timestamp" or StringBound.Inclusive "timestamp-number" for a left-inclusive bound
    • StringBound.Exclusive "timestamp" or StringBound.Exclusive "timestamp-number" for a left-exclusive bound ("(" in the doc) only since Redis 6.2
  • parameter end_

    same as start but for the right bound

  • parameter count

    maximum number of events returned

  • returns

    a lits of events (at most count if specified). Each event is a pair (id, pairs) where id is the unique ID of the event, of the form "<timestamp>-<counter>", and pairs is a list of key-value pairs associated with the event.

    @see the official doc

  • since 0.5
val xrevrange : connection -> string -> start:StringBound.t -> end_:StringBound.t -> ?count:int -> unit -> stream_event list IO.t

Like xrange but in reverse order. @see the official doc

  • since 0.5
val xread : connection -> ?count:int -> ?block_ms:int -> (string * [ `Last | `After of string ]) list -> (string * stream_event list) list IO.t

xread connection pairs reads data from the multiple streams specified in pairs.

Each item of pairs is a pair ("stream-name", <after>) where <after> is either:

  • `Last ("$" in the doc) to get events coming after the last current event (so, new events);
  • or `After i to get events coming after the given ID i, excluding i itself.
  • returns

    a list of ("stream-name", <events>). Each pair contains the name of a stream (that was among the input pairs), along with events of that stream coming after the corresponding position.

  • parameter count

    max number of events returned per stream

  • parameter block_ms

    if provided, xread blocks at most block_ms milliseconds for new events. Otherwise xread is synchronous and returns immediately.

    @see the official doc

  • since 0.5

Transaction commands
