resty-redis-cluster

Openresty lua client for redis cluster.

Why we build this client?

Openresty has no official client which can support redis cluster. (We could see discussion at https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-redis/issues/43). Also, looking around other 3rd party openresty redis cluster client , we do't find one can completely support redis cluster features as our project requirement.

Resty-redis-cluster is a new build openresty module which can currently support most of redis-cluster features.

While building the client, thanks for https://github.com/cuiweixie/lua-resty-redis-cluster which gave us some good reference.

feature list

  1. resty-redis-cluster will cache slot->redis node mapping relationship, and support to calculate slot of key by CRC16, then access data by the cached mapping. The way we calculate CRC16 and caching is somewhat similar with https://github.com/cuiweixie/lua-resty-redis-cluster.

  2. Support usual redis cluster access and most command

  3. Support pipe-line operation. in case key is seperated in multiple nodes, resty-redis-cluster will organize the slot which in same target nodes into groups, then commit them with several pipeline group.

  4. Support hashtag. Just give your key like name{tag}

  5. Support read from slave node by readonly mode, both usual command and pipeline. While enable slave node read, resty-redis-cluster will randomly pickup a node which is mapped to the request key, no matter it's master or slave.

  6. Support online resharding of redis cluster(both for usual command and pipeline. resty-redis-cluster will handle the #MOVED signal by re-cache the slot mapping and retrying. resty-redis-cluster will handle the #ASK signal by retrying with asking to redirection target nodes

  7. Support error handling for the different failure scenario of redis cluster. (etc.Singel slave, master fail, cluster down)

  8. fix some critical issues of https://github.com/cuiweixie/lua-resty-redis-cluster.

    1. memory leak issues while there is high throughput. Socket request will cause the suspend and swith of coroutine, so there would be multiple requests still have reference to the big slot mapping cache. This will cause LUAJIT VM crashed.

    2. we must refresh slot cache mapping in case any redis nodes connection failure, otherwise we will not get the latest slot cache mapping and always get failure. Refer to Jedis, same behaviour to referesh cache mapping while any unknown connection issue.

    3. We must handle ASK redirection in usual/MOVED commands

    4. Pipeline must also handle MOVED signal with refreshing slot cache mapping and retry.

  9. Support authentication.

  10. Support eval command with zero or one key

  11. Also verified working properly in AWS elasticache.

  12. Allows rolling replacement of redis cluster. Example) Redis Cluster with IPs 10.0.0.2, .3 and .4 is present. New nodes are introduced at IPs 10.0.0.5, .6 and .7. Slots are relocated fom node .2, .3 and .4 to .5, .6, and .7. The initial nodes can now be removed without downtime in nginx, since the initial configuration is not used anymore.

installation

  1. please add xmodem.lua and rediscluster.lua at lualib, Also please add library:lua-resty-redis and lua-resty-lock

    nginx.conf like:

    lua_package_path "/path/lualib/?.lua;";

  2. nginx.conf add config:

    lua_shared_dict redis_cluster_slot_locks 100k;

  3. or install by luarock, link: https://luarocks.org/modules/steve0511/resty-redis-cluster

Sample usage

  1. Use normal commands:
local config = {
    dict_name = "test_locks",               --shared dictionary name for locks, if default value is not used 
    refresh_lock_key = "refresh_lock",      --shared dictionary name prefix for lock of each worker, if default value is not used 
    name = "testCluster",                   --rediscluster name
    serv_list = {                           --redis cluster node list(host and port),
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7001 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7002 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7003 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7004 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7005 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7006 }
    },
    keepalive_timeout = 60000,              --redis connection pool idle timeout
    keepalive_cons = 1000,                  --redis connection pool size
    connect_timeout = 1000,              --timeout while connecting
    max_redirection = 5,                    --maximum retry attempts for redirection
    max_connection_attempts = 1             --maximum retry attempts for connection
}

local redis_cluster = require "rediscluster"
local red_c = redis_cluster:new(config)

local v, err = red_c:get("name")
if err then
    ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "err: ", err)
else
    ngx.say(v)
end

authentication:

local config = {
    dict_name = "test_locks",               --shared dictionary name for locks, if default value is not used 
    refresh_lock_key = "refresh_lock",      --shared dictionary name prefix for lock of each worker, if default value is not used 
    name = "testCluster",                   --rediscluster name
    serv_list = {                           --redis cluster node list(host and port),
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7001 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7002 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7003 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7004 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7005 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7006 }
    },
    keepalive_timeout = 60000,              --redis connection pool idle timeout
    keepalive_cons = 1000,                  --redis connection pool size
    connect_timeout = 1000,              --timeout while connecting
    read_timeout = 1000,                    --timeout while reading
    send_timeout = 1000,                    --timeout while sending
    max_redirection = 5,                    --maximum retry attempts for redirection,
    max_connection_attempts = 1,            --maximum retry attempts for connection
    auth = "pass"                           --set password while setting auth
}

local redis_cluster = require "rediscluster"
local red_c = redis_cluster:new(config)

local v, err = red_c:get("name")
if err then
    ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "err: ", err)
else
    ngx.say(v)
end
  1. Use pipeline:
local cjson = require "cjson"

local config = {
    dict_name = "test_locks",               --shared dictionary name for locks, if default value is not used 
    refresh_lock_key = "refresh_lock",      --shared dictionary name prefix for lock of each worker, if default value is not used 
    name = "testCluster",
    serv_list = {
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7001 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7002 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7003 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7004 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7005 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7006 }
    },
    keepalive_timeout = 60000,
    keepalive_cons = 1000,
    connect_timeout = 1000,
    read_timeout = 1000,
    send_timeout = 1000,
    max_redirection = 5,
    max_connection_attempts = 1
}

local redis_cluster = require "rediscluster"
local red_c = redis_cluster:new(config)


red_c:init_pipeline()
red_c:get("name")
red_c:get("name1")
red_c:get("name2")

local res, err = red_c:commit_pipeline()

if not res then
    ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "err: ", err)
else
    ngx.say(cjson.encode(res))
end

  1. enable slave node read:

    Note: Currently enable_slave_read is only limited in pure read scenario. We don't support mixed read and write scenario(distingush read, write operation) in single config set with enable_slave_read now. If your scenario is mixed with write operation, please disable the option.

    Also, you can isolate pure read scenaro into another config set.

local cjson = require "cjson"

local config = {
    dict_name = "test_locks",               --shared dictionary name for locks, if default value is not used 
    refresh_lock_key = "refresh_lock",      --shared dictionary name prefix for lock of each worker, if default value is not used 
    name = "testCluster",
    enable_slave_read = true,
    serv_list = {

        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7002 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7003 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7004 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7005 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7006 }
    },
    keepalive_timeout = 60000,
    keepalive_cons = 1000,
    connect_timeout = 1000,

  1. Use SSL :

Note: connect_opts is optional config field that can be set and will be passed to underlying redis connect call. More information about these options can be found in lua-resty-redis documentation.

local config = {
    dict_name = "test_locks",               --shared dictionary name for locks, if default value is not used 
    refresh_lock_key = "refresh_lock",      --shared dictionary name prefix for lock of each worker, if default value is not used 
    name = "testCluster",                   --rediscluster name
    serv_list = {                           --redis cluster node list(host and port),
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7001 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7002 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7003 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7004 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7005 },
        { ip = "127.0.0.1", port = 7006 }
    },
    keepalive_timeout = 60000,              --redis connection pool idle timeout
    keepalive_cons = 1000,                  --redis connection pool size
    connect_timeout = 1000,              --timeout while connecting
    max_redirection = 5,                    --maximum retry attempts for redirection
    max_connection_attempts = 1,             --maximum retry attempts for connection
    connect_opts = {
        ssl = true,
        ssl_verify = true,
        server_name = "test-cluster.redis.myhost.com",
        pool = "redis-cluster-connection-pool",
        pool_size = 20,
        backlog = 10
    }
}

local redis_cluster = require "rediscluster"
local red_c = redis_cluster:new(config)

local v, err = red_c:get("name")
if err then
    ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "err: ", err)
else
    ngx.say(v)
end

Limitation

  1. Doesn't support MSET, MGET operations yet

  2. Doesn't support transactions operations: MULTI DISCARD EXEC WATCH

  3. Doesn't support pub sub. Actually redis cluster didn't check slot for pub sub commands, so using normal resty redis client to conenct with specific node in a cluster still works.

  4. Limitation only for turn on enable slave read: If we need to discover new slave node(but without adding new master), must retrigger new slot mapping cache refresh, otherwise slot mapping still record the last version of node tables.(easiest way is rebooting nginx nodes)

  5. Limitation only for turn on enable slave read: If slave -> master link is down(maybe still under sync and recovery), resty-redis-cluster will not filter these nodes out. Thus, read from slave may return unexpected response. Suggest always catch the response parsing exception while enable slave read. This is because client depends on cluster slots command.
