Redis Data

Redis Data is a Transaction Manager and Object Mapper for redis implemented in Java 6. It simplifies the usage of redis in java and abstracts the way data is mapped. All data deserialization/marshalling are lazy which means they will only happen when the data is accessed.

Features

Automated data mapping between redis keys/values and java entities
Configurable data mappers
Configurable clients (Currently only jedis supported)
Configurable AOP/Interception frameworks (Currently supported: AspectJ, Spring AOP)
Transaction and Pipeline execution without usage of callbacks
Transparent usage regardless of the type of session (plain, transaction, pipelining. transaction and pipelining combined)
Data type enforcing
All exceptions are Unchecked even the Checked ones
Support for nested transactions (EXPERIMENTAL - Minimum redis connection pool size must be at least the size of the debth of nested transactions or it will end up in a dead lock. Semaphore has to be implemented to solve this problem.)

Minimum requirements

Java >= 1.6
Spring (dynamic proxy approach) >= 2.5
aspectj-maven-plugin (compile time weaving approach) >= 1.4
jedis => 2.3.0

How it works

The library consists of 5 main parts:

Signalizer (AOP, dynamic proxy etc.)
Transaction manager
Session factory
Bindings
Data mappers (jaxb, jackson json, jdk serialization etc.)

Signalizer

The Signalizer, with the help of a aspect or an interception library, sends signals to the Transaction Manager when to open/close/discard a connection/transaction/pipeline. It basically binds to the execution of the method which should be managed.

Transaction manager

The transaction manager manages the state of the connection and is always coupled with a Signalizer from which it receives the instructions to start, stop or abort a connection/transaction/pipeline.

Session factory

The session factory basically creates Sessions. It's always coupled with a transaction manager from which the factory retrieves the connection bound to the current thread. The created session is always bound to a specific managed method by Redis Data, a key data mapper and a value data mapper. This ensures that the data types of the keys and values are always the same.

Bindings

Bindings basically bind session factories with data mappers and command types.

Data mappers

Data mappers are bound to a java type. They tell Redis Data how to serialize/deserialize, marshall/unmarshall the data.

How to use

Define a connection poll and transaction manager

 <bean id="poolConfig" class="org.apache.commons.pool2.impl.GenericObjectPoolConfig">
    <property name="maxIdle" value="5" />
    <property name="minIdle" value="1" />
    <property name="testOnBorrow" value="true" />
    <property name="testOnReturn" value="true" />
    <property name="testWhileIdle" value="true" />
    <property name="numTestsPerEvictionRun" value="10" />
    <property name="timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis" value="60000" />
</bean>

<bean id="connectionPool" class="com.github.eemmiirr.redisdata.jedis.DefaultJedisConnectionPool">
    <constructor-arg name="jedisPool">
        <bean class="redis.clients.jedis.JedisPool">

Enabling the signalizer

Either using spring

<aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>

or using AspectJ maven plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${aspectj-maven-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <verbose>true</verbose>
        <complianceLevel>${java.version}</complianceLevel>
        <source>${java.version}</source>
        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
        <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
        <weaveDependencies>
            <weaveDependency>
                <groupId>com.github.eemmiirr.redisdata</groupId>
                <artifactId>redisdata-core</artifactId>
            </weaveDependency>
        </weaveDependencies>
        <weaveWithAspectsInMainSourceFolder>false</weaveWithAspectsInMainSourceFolder>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>test-compile</goal>
             </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Annotate the service

Either annotate the class or method with @RedisData. If both annotations are present the annotation on the method has higher priority.

@RedisData
public class RedisService {

    @Autowired
    private StringCommand<Integer, Entity1> stringCommandEntity1Binding;
    
    @Autowired
    private StringCommand<Integer, Integer> stringCommandIntegerBinding;

    public void set() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            stringCommandEntity1Binding.set(i, new Entity1());
        }
    }

    @RedisData(pipelined = true)
    public void setPipelined() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            stringCommandEntity1Binding.set(i, new Entity1());
        }
    }

    @RedisData(transactional = true)
    public void setTransactional() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            stringCommandEntity1Binding.set(i, new Entity1());
        }
    }

    @RedisData(pipelined = true, transactional = true)
    public void setPipelinedTransaction() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            stringCommandEntity1Binding.set(i, new Entity1());
        }
    }
    
    @RedisData(pipelined = true, transactional = true)
    public Response<Integer> setAndIncrPipelinedTransaction() {
        stringCommandIntegerBinding.set(1, 100);
        stringCommandIntegerBinding.incr(1);
        return stringCommandIntegerBinding.get(1);
    }
}

Benefits of AspectJ approach

It enables the library to work in a framework idependent way
It's faster then a dynamic proxy aproach because it uses compile time or load time weaving
It enables calls to methods from within the same class. It doesn't have to go from outside trough the proxy

Exceptions

All exceptions are unchecked.

Exception	Description
RedisDataException	Base Redis Data exception.
ClientException	Exception which is thrown when the underlying client has some problems. The original exception is wrapped.
DataMapperException	Exception which occurres when data can not be mapped.
DataMapperNotSupportedException	Exception which occurres when the data mapper doesn't support the assigned type.
DataNotReadyException	Exception which occurres when the data is accessed inside the method which is currently in the middle of a transaction/pipeline.
RedisDataSignalizerException	Thrown by the signalizer.

Run locally performance tests:

mvn clean verify -PrunPerfs

Future work:

Add semaphoring logic to support nested transactions
Add support for other clients
Add support for data compression
