Executing batches of commands using redis cli
RedisRedis Problem Overview
I have a long text file of redis commands that I need to execute using the redis command line interface:
e.g.
DEL 9012012
DEL 1212
DEL 12214314
etc.
I can't seem to figure out a way to enter the commands faster than one at a time. There are several hundred thousands lines, so I don't want to just pile them all into one DEL command, they also don't need to all run at once.
Redis Solutions
Solution 1 - Redis
the following code works for me with redis 2.4.7 on mac
./redis-cli < temp.redisCmds
Does that satisfy your requirements? Or are you looking to see if there's a way to programmatically do it faster?
Solution 2 - Redis
If you don't want to make a file, use echo and \n
echo "DEL 9012012\nDEL 1212" | redis-cli
Solution 3 - Redis
The redis-cli --pipe can be used for mass-insertion. It is available since 2.6-RC4 and in Redis 2.4.14.
For example:
cat data.txt | redis-cli --pipe

Solution 4 - Redis
I know this is an old old thread, but adding this since it seems missed out among other answers, and one that works well for me.
Using heredoc works well here, if you don't want to use echo or explicitly add \n or create a new file -
redis-cli <<EOF
select 15
get a
EOF
