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.

Binaries/Download¶

Binaries and dependency information for Maven, Ivy, Gradle and others can be found at http://search.maven.org.

Releases of lettuce are available in the Maven Central repository. Take also a look at the Releases.

Example for Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.lettuce</groupId>
  <artifactId>lettuce-core</artifactId>
  <version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>

If you'd rather like the latest snapshots of the upcoming major version, use our Maven snapshot repository and declare the appropriate dependency version.

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.lettuce</groupId>
  <artifactId>lettuce-core</artifactId>

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");

LettuceFutures.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/redis/lettuce.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
