Provides decorators to cache/update/delete results to/from Redis.

Created to be used in a project, this package is published to github for ease of management and installation across different modules.

Features

For function decorated with @cache, the result will be serialized and stored in Redis. If the function is called again with the same arguments before the expiration, the value will be retrieved from Redis and deserialized and reconstruct to its original (or compatible) python dtype.

Supported caching data types includes:

• boolean: bool & numpy.bool_ -> deserialize to bool
• integer: int & numpy.int & numpy.uint -> deserialize to int
• float: float & numpy.float_ -> deserialize to float
• decimal: decimal.Decimal -> deserialize to decimal.Decimal
• string: str -> deserialize to str
• bytes: bytes -> deserialize to bytes
• date: datetime.date -> deserialize to datetime.date
• time: datetime.time -> deserialize to datetime.time
• datetime: datetime.datetime & pandas.Timestamp -> deserialize to datetime.datetime
• datetime64*: numpy.datetime64 & time.struct_time -> deserialize to datetime.datetime
• timedelta: datetime.timedelta & pandas.Timedelta -> deserialize to datetime.timedelta
• timedelta64: numpy.timedelta64 -> deserialize to datetime.timedelta
• None: None & numpy.nan -> deserialize to None
• list: list of above supported data types -> deserialize to list
• tuple: tuple of above supported data types -> deserialize to list
• set: set of above supported data types -> deserialize to list
• frozenset: frozenset of above supported data types -> deserialize to list
• dict: dict of above supported data types -> deserialize to dict
• numpy.record: numpy.record of above supported data types -> deserialize to list
• numpy.ndarray: numpy.ndarray of above supported data types -> deserialize to np.ndarray
• pandas.Series: pandas.Series of above supported data types -> deserialize to pandas.Series
• pandas.DataFrame: pandas.DataFrame of above supported data types -> deserialize to pandas.DataFrame

Usage (Setup)

import redisdecor as rd
import datetime, numpy as np, pandas as pd
# Decorators in this package relies on `Redis`, which is a
# subclass of `redis.StrictRedis`. Besides the arguments
# `decode_responses` is fixed to False, this subclass works
# the same as `redis.StrictRedis`.
cl = rd.get_client(host="127.0.0.1", db=10)

# A shared 'expensive' function for all three decorators
def gen_data(rows: int, offset: int = 0) -> pd.DataFrame:
    # Add some delay to simulate expensiveness
    time.sleep(1)
    # Generate a pandas DataFrame
    tz = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=8), "CUS")
    dt = datetime.datetime.now()
    dt = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
    val = {
        "bool": True,
        "np_bool": np.bool_(False),
        "int": 1 + offset,
        "int64": np.int64(5 + offset),
        "unit": np.uint(5 + offset),
        "unit64": np.uint64(5 + offset),
        "float": 1.1 + offset,
        "float64": np.float64(4.4 + offset),
        "decimal": Decimal("3.3"),
        "str": "STRING",
        "bytes": b"BYTES",
        "datetime": dt + datetime.timedelta(offset),
        "datetime_tz": (dt + datetime.timedelta(offset)).replace(tzinfo=tz),
        "time": (dt + datetime.timedelta(hours=offset)).time(),
        "time_tz": (dt + datetime.timedelta(hours=offset)).time().replace(tzinfo=tz),
        "timedelta": datetime.timedelta(1 + offset),
        "None": None,
    }
    return pd.DataFrame([val for _ in range(rows)])

# Shared prefix for all three decorators
prefix = "test"

# @cache decorator - returns function value
@rd.cache(cl, prefix, 60)
def gen_data_cache(rows: int) -> pd.DataFrame:
    return gen_data(rows, 0)

# @update decorator - return bool | None
@rd.update(cl, prefix)
def gen_data_update(rows: int) -> bool | None:
    return gen_data(rows, 1)

# @delete decorator return bool | None
@rd.delete(cl, prefix) 
def gen_data_delete(rows: int) -> bool | None:
    return gen_data(rows, 0)

Usage (Cache)

from timeit import timeit

# Flush keys
cl.flushall()

# First call - (no cache) - corresponding key: "test:100::"
print("No. cache - 100 row".ljust(20), timeit(lambda: gen_data_cache(100), number=1))
# No. cache - 100 row  1.0088350829901174

# Second call - (cache hit) - corresponding key: "test:100::"
print("Hit cache - 100 row".ljust(20), timeit(lambda: gen_data_cache(100), number=1))
# Hit cache - 100 row  0.002061583974864334

# Call with different arguments - (no cache) - corresponding key: "test:90::"
print("No. cache - 90 row".ljust(20), timeit(lambda: gen_data_cache(90), number=1))
# No. cache - 90 row   1.0119208749965765

# Second call - (cache hit) - corresponding key: "test:90::"
print("Hit cache - 90 row".ljust(20), timeit(lambda: gen_data_cache(90), number=1))
# Hit cache - 90 row   0.001857625029515475
