Serializing integers

[dmitrykuzmenkov]

I use Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER = Redis::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY
So when I'm saving the integer i gotta serialized it.

And In redis-cli enviroment get:

get relation:1:82
"\x00\x00\x00\x02\x06\x01"

(its values: 1)

But when i do increment this one key i got not serialized data and incremented from zero (not 1, as this key contained)

get relation:1:82
"1"

So may be its bug or not but may be no need to serialize int/float etc types?

Also i cant get sort by key becauze integers are serialized and i must turn off it to take effect.

Hello,

This issue has been raised before, but unfortunately there isn't much I can do in this case.
If you do an MGET with several keys, and some of them are serialized while some are not, phpredis won't be able to know which to deserialize and which to leave as they are. Trying to detect it would be unreliable, as you may want to store binary data that phpredis could interpret as igbinary strings.
