push-ioredis

The push-ioredis aims to use redis sentinel(Redis officially) and ioredis to replace redis-failover, which would make our redis cluster high-available and easy to operate.

NOTE THAT THE LIBRARY IS NOT INDEPENDENT, which is a component of push-server. The push-ioredis library relys on:

• redis master-salves
• sentinels that watch on these master-salves
• encapsulated sharding object

Example

node test/t
node test/caller

index.js

Entrance of this library.

lib/redis-failover.js

Implements the redisNodeName-ioredisClient-Dictionary, e.g. ["node_x":"related ioredis instance"]. Create the failover redis obj, which receives the sharding objects as params. Acts as an API.

lib/redisClusterMap.js

Get the node name by the hash value. e.g. return node_1 when receives hash value 4~7.

lib/clientProxy

Implements the sharding logic.

• Generate the hash value of a key
• Find the real redis node according to the hash value
• Use the redis node to do specific operations

config/redisConfig.json

The configuration file for the name of redis nodes and sentinel. The ioredis client get a master node from the sentinel by the name of master-slave pair, the sentinel would guarantee the node that ioredis client gets is a master node.

more redis configuration could be described in redis sentinel.conf, e.g. sentinel_8000.conf

config/redisSharing.json

The configuration file for the cluster sharding. "num" is the number of hash buckets, related to redis-crc, currently is 256(64 nodes, every node has 4 buckets, e.g. if a new inserting key's hashing value is 0~3, it would be inserted in node_0);

test/t.js:

Mainly for testing redis-failover, which is acquiring redis client(master) from sentinel configuration.

test/caller.js:

Exemplify how to use push-ioredis, to testify the failover of redis nodes(sentinel+ioredis) and the logic of sharding(mainly inherits form redis-failover).

test/largeRandomSetGetTest.js:

Test the correctness when high QPS at the same time master-redis down. Currently several master-redis need to be killed manually when this runs.

test/testIndex.js:

Test the redisClient.js
