Radix 0.6.0 is out!

Picodata developers are happy to announce the new release of Radix 0.5.0 — commercial Picodata plugin which implements Redis on the base of Picodata DBMS. The new version features much-improved transactions support as well as the support for Lua scripts.

In particular, Radix 0.6.0 adds the following features for better compatibility with Redis:

• Full support for Lua scripts:
  • eval:
    • redis.call
    • redis.pcall
    • redis.log
    • redis.sha1hex
    • redis.status_reply
    • redis.error_reply
    • redis.REDIS_VERSION
    • redis.REDIS_VERSION_NUM
  • evalro
  • evalsha
  • evalsharo
  • script exists
  • script load
• transactions support:
  • exec
  • discard
  • watch
  • unwatch
  • multi

Transactions and Lua scripts in Radix work the same way as they do in Redis, although there are some differences in behavior. For example, you can can start a transaction on any server (but it needs to be finished within the same connection), whereas a Lua script is processed as an atomic entity: if at least one command from the script fails, no part of the script gets committed.

A more detailed manual on using Radix is available on the Picodata documentation site.
