The primary goal of the Spring Data project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services. This modules provides integration with the Redis store.

You can find out more details from the user documentation or by browsing the javadocs.

For examples on using the Spring Data Key Value, see the dedicated project, also available on GitHub

• Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
  <version>${version}</version>
</dependency> 

<!-- used for nightly builds -->
<repository>
  <id>spring-maven-snapshot</id>
  <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
  <name>Springframework Maven SNAPSHOT Repository</name>
  <url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>
</repository> 

<!-- used for milestone/rc releases -->
<repository>
  <id>spring-maven-milestone</id>
  <name>Springframework Maven Milestone Repository</name>
  <url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone</url>
</repository> 

• Gradle:

repositories {
   maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone" }
   maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot" }
}

// used for nightly builds
dependencies {
   compile "org.springframework.data:spring-data-redis:${version}"
}

• Configure the Redis connector to use (here jedis):

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
  xsi:schemaLocation="
  http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
  
  <bean id="jedisFactory" class="org.springframework.data.redis.connection.jedis.JedisConnectionFactory"/>
  
  <bean id="redisTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.redis.core.RedisTemplate"
      p:connection-factory="jedisFactory"/>
</beans>

• Use RedisTemplate to interact with the Redis store:

String random = template.randomKey();
template.set(random, new Person("John", "Smith"));

• Use Redis 'views' to execute specific operations based on the underlying Redis type:

ListOperations<String, Person> listOps = template.listOps();
listOps.rightPush(random, new Person("Jane", "Smith"));
List<Person> peopleOnSecondFloor = listOps.range("users:floor:2", 0, -1);

Spring Data Redis uses Maven as its build system. Running the tests requires you to have a RedisServer running at its default port. Using the -D runLongTests=true option executes additional Pub/Sub test.

    mvn clean install

You can alternatively use the provided Makefile which runs the build plus downloads and spins up the following environment:

• 1 Single Node
• HA Redis (1 Master, 2 Slaves, 3 Sentinels).
• Redis Cluster (3 Masters, 1 Slave)

    make test
