Redis Repositories Running on a Cluster

You can use the Redis repository support in a clustered Redis environment. See the “Redis Cluster” section for ConnectionFactory configuration details. Still, some additional configuration must be done, because the default key distribution spreads entities and secondary indexes through out the whole cluster and its slots.

The following table shows the details of data on a cluster (based on previous examples):

Key Type Slot Node

people:e2c7dcee-b8cd-4424-883e-736ce564363e

id for hash

15171

127.0.0.1:7381

people:a9d4b3a0-50d3-4538-a2fc-f7fc2581ee56

id for hash

7373

127.0.0.1:7380

people:firstname:rand

index

1700

127.0.0.1:7379

Some commands (such as SINTER and SUNION) can only be processed on the server side when all involved keys map to the same slot. Otherwise, computation has to be done on client side. Therefore, it is useful to pin keyspaces to a single slot, which lets make use of Redis server side computation right away. The following table shows what happens when you do (note the change in the slot column and the port value in the node column):

Key Type Slot Node

{people}:e2c7dcee-b8cd-4424-883e-736ce564363e

id for hash

2399

127.0.0.1:7379

{people}:a9d4b3a0-50d3-4538-a2fc-f7fc2581ee56

id for hash

2399

127.0.0.1:7379

{people}:firstname:rand

index

2399

127.0.0.1:7379

Define and pin keyspaces by using @RedisHash("{yourkeyspace}") to specific slots when you use Redis cluster.
