redtool v0.9.4

redtool

A swiss army knife for Redis data import/export.

• Based on the amazing ioredis node.js lib
• Heavy use of pipelines and multi inserts for gentle exports and imports
• Byte safe exports (hex encoded via encodeURI())

Installation

npm install -g redtool

Export

redtool export <pattern> <file.redtool>

or

redtool export <pattern> <file.redtool> -f <filter>

Example 1:

redtool export * export-all.rtool

Example 2:

redtool export something:prod:* export-something-transform.rtool -f something:dev

Import

Redtool export files can be imported using Redtool itself

redtool import <file.rtool>

i.e.

redtool import export-all.redtool

or using the redis-cli

cat <file.rtool> | redis-cli --pipe

i.e.

cat export-all.redtool | redis-cli --pipe

Please note that imports via redtool are broken down into multiple pipeline transactions and hence more gentle than via the redis-cli which commits all data in one big transaction.

Size

Helps evaluating the size of the database or parts of it

redtool size [path]

Whole database:

redtool size 

All keyspace starting with something:

redtool size something*

Only a specific key size

redtool size specific-key

Usage: redtool <command> [options]

Commands:
  redtool export <filter> <output>  Exports a subset of a redis keyspace to a
                                    file                            [aliases: e]
  redtool import <input>            Imports redis data from an exported file
                                                                    [aliases: i]
  redtool size [path]               Estimate the size of all keys matching the
                                    specified path or *             [aliases: s]

Options:
  --version   Show version number                                      [boolean]
  --help      Show help                                                [boolean]
  -h, --host                                              [default: "127.0.0.1"]
  -p, --port                                                     [default: 6379]

Examples:
  export nnn:dev testFile.rtool  exports the whole nnn:dev keyset to
                                 testFile.txt
  export nnn:dev testFile.rtool  exports the whole nnn:dev keyset to
                                 testFile.txt transforming every occcurrence of
                                 nnn:dev into nnn:prod
  import testFile.rtool          imports a previously exported testFile.txt into
                                 Redis
  size *                         
  size *                  
  size something:*               evaluates the size of the keys starting with
                                 `something:`
