Dependencies
The package has three dependencies that should be easilyresolvable:
- hiredis, the main Clibrary for Redis, eg vialibhiredis-devon Debian or Ubuntu; as a fallbackhiredis is alsoincluded
- Rcpp for seamless Rand C++ integration (onCRAN)
- RApiSerializefor C-level serialization from the R API (onCRAN) , andif so, of sufficient vintage80
The package should install from source like any other R package. Ifthe ahiredis library isfound, it will be used. Thepkg-config script is used tofind the hiredis headers and library. Otherwise the embeddedhiredis is used. All ofRcpp, RApiSerialized and RcppRedis can be installed directly fromCRAN (which is the recommendedapproach) or GitHub.
MessagePack support isoptional, and provided byRcppMsgPackpackage onCRAN which, ifinstalled, is used to provideMessagePack headers forMessagePack serialization.
Getting Started
Run some of the scripts from thedemo/ directory.
Status
The package works well, is used in production, and has been onCRAN for some time.
It is however only providing a subset of the Redis API.
History
This package was derived from an initial fork of an earlier attemptnamed ‘rhiredis’ by Wush Wu, and has since been extended in a number ofways. William Pleasant provided some early patches. Whit Armstrong andRussell Pierce contributed extensions.
Authors
