02:20:03 GMT <SFaz> hi i m new to redis. i know how to set it up on local machine and insert data through scripts etc but i want to learn more. plz guide me
02:20:51 GMT <SFaz> Can u please guide me how to choose if redis is the right system for my db?
02:21:30 GMT <Xe> SFaz: is your data model better suited to a relational database?
02:21:47 GMT <SFaz> it is a key value dataset
02:22:00 GMT <Xe> that doesn't answer my question
02:22:07 GMT <SFaz> also i am a researcher so i want to try anything to get my hands on redis
02:22:10 GMT <Xe> is the data you are storing all in one common type?
02:22:24 GMT <SFaz> one common type?
02:22:40 GMT <SFaz> it is in csv format
02:22:53 GMT <Xe> you probably don't want redis then
02:23:07 GMT <Xe> redis is not good at the kind of data you can import from CSV files
02:23:16 GMT <Xe> you probably want literally any database engine, including sqlite
02:23:51 GMT <SFaz> actually i do as i its been more than a month i am practicing with different java scripts and redis but can't figure out exactly what to use it for
02:24:22 GMT <Xe> i'm speaking as someone who uses redis in the real world: it's not good for columnar data
02:25:00 GMT <SFaz> Can u please guide me the best uses of redis apart from the common use cases
02:26:06 GMT <Xe> in my experience, redis is best used as a key->value cache for either arbitrary data or the results of expensive or often-made queries from a database
02:26:28 GMT <Xe> this "arbitrary data" is for things like thumbnails or the like
02:27:12 GMT <Xe> usually programatically generating keys (imageid:resolution, etc)
02:28:48 GMT <SFaz> Thank you. Also can u plz tell me if it is arbitrary data then how do i use redis data structures then?
02:29:13 GMT <SFaz> because it is also used as data store , data cache etc
15:52:39 GMT <mdelisle> hi. I want to store cache miss key in redis. how would be the best way to store list of key with a miss count so I can easily retreive them by count?
16:22:28 GMT <mdelisle> any redis guru here?
16:39:04 GMT <minus> mdelisle: probably a sorted set with miss count as score. see ZADD
23:32:53 GMT <aaeron> Hi,
23:33:55 GMT <aaeron> I have a cluster with 5 masters with 1 replica each. 1 of the replica hosts got restarted. When it got restarted, my automation takes care of "CLUSTER_FORGET" -ing the restart host from the rest of the cluster.
23:34:43 GMT <aaeron> CLUSTER_FORGET worked fine. Now when the node came back, I did not add it back to the cluster. But in a while, I saw this node added to the cluster by itself
23:35:12 GMT <aaeron> I was hoping that it would not add itself back to the cluster. I wanted to control that operation
23:38:06 GMT <aaeron> I saw there is a ban-list when I run CLUSTER_FORGET, and I forgot the slave from all of the members within 1 minute.
23:38:33 GMT <aaeron> So, the gossip b/w two nodes adding the forgotten nodes it out of the picture
23:51:18 GMT <aaeron> Anyone/
23:51:19 GMT <aaeron> ?
