05:24:57 GMT <Omnipotent> one question, if say we have 1 million keys stored in redis, Doing a simple * ... redis would have to iterate over all of the 1 million keys... but what happens if we do filtered *
05:25:00 GMT <Omnipotent> like abc|pqr|*   where record of keys starting with abc|pqr are only 10
05:25:03 GMT <Omnipotent> would it still have to go over 1 million to find that?
05:25:20 GMT <Omnipotent> If so, in such a case should * NEVER be used on a production server? if there is no efficient way to use it?
12:13:35 GMT <badboy_> Omnipotent: correct. KEYS _always_ has to go through all keys (because how would it know otherwise that there are no more keys matching your pattern? it has no index to tell it that)
12:13:51 GMT <badboy_> if you absolutely must iterate the keyspace atleast use SCAN: http://redis.io/commands/scan
12:14:15 GMT <badboy_> in any case, if you happen to do that regularly re-think your data structure
12:15:59 GMT <Omnipotent> badboy_, Yep, I knew about the keys and scan difference... but I was unsure if there is any intelligent way to use the * (wildcard) in an optimized way
12:16:29 GMT <Omnipotent> or should wildcard NEVER be used on production servers as a rule of thumb?
20:27:59 GMT <zautomata> hi, can redis act as a rest server to be accessed from the internet?
22:47:23 GMT <badboy_> zautomata: no
