Feature Request: Pub/Sub Support

[jvinet]

Thanks for the great Lua library, we use it throughout our application.

One feature we'd love to see is pub/sub support. At present, we're sending out the same data N times, once for each worker. It would be great to move that to a pub/sub system in the future.

Thanks very much!

Hi Judd,

Right now you can publish messages with the PUBLISH command, but full support for an abstraction of pub/sub (as a consumer) is planned for the next patch release of redis-lua. I will try to take a look when I have some free time to give you an update for this feature request.

Thanks,
Daniele

Support for PUB/SUB has been added in the master branch in the form of a coroutine-based iterator used to consume the incoming messages in a for-loop. This addition will be part of redis-lua v2.0.2 once it is ready.

Thanks,
Daniele
