Lettuce - Advanced Java Redis client

Lettuce is a scalable thread-safe Redis client for synchronous, asynchronous and reactive usage. Multiple threads may share one connection if they avoid blocking and transactional operations such as BLPOP and MULTI/EXEC. Lettuce is built with netty. Supports advanced Redis features such as Sentinel, Cluster, Pipelining, Auto-Reconnect and Redis data models.

This version of Lettuce has been tested against the latest Redis source-build.

• synchronous, asynchronous and reactive usage
• Redis Sentinel
• Redis Cluster
• SSL and Unix Domain Socket connections
• Streaming API
• CDI and Spring integration
• Codecs (for UTF8/bit/JSON etc. representation of your data)
• multiple Command Interfaces
• Compatible with Java 8 and 9 (implicit automatic module w/o descriptors)

See the reference documentation and Wiki for more details.

Basic Usage

RedisClient client = RedisClient.create("redis://localhost");
StatefulRedisConnection<String, String> connection = client.connect();
RedisStringCommands sync = connection.sync();
String value = sync.get("key");

Each Redis command is implemented by one or more methods with names identical to the lowercase Redis command name. Complex commands with multiple modifiers that change the result type include the CamelCased modifier as part of the command name, e.g. zrangebyscore and zrangebyscoreWithScores.

See Basic usage for further details.

Asynchronous API

StatefulRedisConnection<String, String> connection = client.connect();
RedisStringAsyncCommands<String, String> async = connection.async();
RedisFuture<String> set = async.set("key", "value")
RedisFuture<String> get = async.get("key")

async.awaitAll(set, get) == true

set.get() == "OK"
get.get() == "value"

See Asynchronous API for further details.

Reactive API

StatefulRedisConnection<String, String> connection = client.connect();
RedisStringReactiveCommands<String, String> reactive = connection.reactive();
Mono<String> set = reactive.set("key", "value");
Mono<String> get = reactive.get("key");

set.subscribe();

get.block() == "value"

See Reactive API for further details.

Pub/Sub

RedisPubSubCommands<String, String> connection = client.connectPubSub().sync();
connection.getStatefulConnection().addListener(new RedisPubSubListener<String, String>() { ... })
connection.subscribe("channel")

Building

Lettuce is built with Apache Maven. The tests require multiple running Redis instances for different test cases which are configured using a Makefile. Tests run by default against Redis unstable.

To build:

$ git clone https://github.com/lettuce-io/lettuce-core.git
$ cd lettuce/
$ make prepare ssl-keys
$ make test

• Initial environment setup (clone and build redis): make prepare
• Setup SSL Keys: make ssl-keys
• Run the build: make test
• Start Redis (manually): make start
• Stop Redis (manually): make stop
