Redis Key Slot Calculator

A high performance redis cluster key slot calculator for node redis clients e.g. node_redis, ioredis and redis-clustr.

This also handles key tags such as somekey{actualTag}.

Install

Install with NPM:

npm install cluster-key-slot --save

Usage

const calculateSlot = require('cluster-key-slot');
const calculateMultipleSlots = require('cluster-key-slot').generateMulti;

// ...

// a single slot number
const slot = calculateSlot('test:key:{butOnlyThis}redis');
// Buffer is also supported
const anotherSlot = calculateSlot(Buffer.from([0x7b, 0x7d, 0x2a]));

// multiple keys - multi returns a single key slot number, returns -1 if any
// of the keys does not match the base slot number (base is defaulted to first keys slot)
// This is useful to quickly determine a singe slot for multi keys operations.
const slotForRedisMulti = calculateMultipleSlots([
  'test:key:{butOnlyThis}redis',
  'something:key45:{butOnlyThis}hello',
  'example:key46:{butOnlyThis}foobar',
]);

Benchmarks

OLD in these benchmarks refers to the ioredis crc calc and many of the other calculators that use Buffer.
