This change reduces some unnecessary complexity in the library, Redis
commands do not change much after all. Developers can still implement
their own commands factory, inject new commands or override existing
ones. The "profile" client options has been renamed to "commands" and
it accepts instances of Predis\Command\FactoryInterface.
The test suite checks at runtime the version of the running instance
of Redis for integration tests to adapt itself automatically.
This could be triggered when passing an array with "holes" to variadic commands.
Connection classes based on the protocol serialized exposed by phpiredis were
not affected by this bug.
Fixes#316.
Using IPv6 with Predis was basically impossible due to various inconsistencies
and bugs through the library, now it is supported by all the connection classes.
Following the standard for IPv6 literal addresses in URI strings, the IP literal
must be enclosed within square brackets when passing the parameters as a string:
$parameters = 'tcp://[2001:db8:0:f101::1]:6379';
See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2 for further details.
This commit also fixes#239 making redis-cluster usable with nodes using IPv6.
This is handy for accessing remote Redis instances over a secure SSL connection
which is currently a popular option or even requirement with many cloud hosting
environments.
In order to configure the client to use an SSL-encrypted connection the scheme
in the connection parameters must be either "tsl" or "rediss" and a set of SSL
options (see http://php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php) must be provided via the
"ssl" parameter as a named array.
The following example (which does not necessarily represent an example of good
practices!) illustrates how to set the "ssl" parameter using a named array and
the equivalent URI string:
// Parameters as named array
$parameters = [
'scheme' => 'tls',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'ssl' => [
'cafile' => '/home/adaniele/redis.pem',
'verify_peer_name' => false,
],
];
// Parameters as URI string
$parameters = 'tls://127.0.0.1?ssl[cafile]=redis.pem&ssl[verify_peer_name]=1';
Support for SSL is currently limited to the Predis\Connection\StreamConnection
backend but we intend to investigate if it is possible to extend this feature
to Predis\Connection\PhpiredisStreamConnection in the future.
Be aware that using encrypted connections may lead to a performance degradation
especially in the connect() operation due to the overhead of the TLS handshake.
Unfortunately there is no real way to reuse SSL sessions from userland, aside
from enabling persistent connections, but this will work only on PHP >= 7.0.0
because previous versions of PHP do not provide enough info about a stream from
get_stream_meta_data().
NOTE: Redis does not have built-in support for SSL-encrypted connections, but if
you want to expose it to public networks you may want to rely on "stunnel".
stream_socket_client() has the undocumented ability to open different persistent
streams by providing a path in the $address string. Previously we supported this
behaviour with a combination of "persistent" and "path" (see #139) but this can
be confusing, especially now that we support the redis:// scheme which uses the
path part of an URI string to specify a database number.
After this change, instead of using an URI string such as:
$parameters = 'tcp://127.0.0.1/first?persistent=1&database=5';
You should use the following ones:
$parameters = 'tcp://127.0.0.1?persistent=first&database=5';
$parameters = 'redis://127.0.0.1/5?persistent=first';
Avoiding "path" makes even more sense when using array connection parameters:
$parameters = [
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'database' => 5,
'persistent' => 'first',
]
This feature is not supported when using UNIX domain sockets because the path
trick of stream_socket_client() does not play well with the actual path of the
socket file. The client will throw an InvalidArgumentException exception to
notify the user.
NOTE: unfortunately we have to disable the tests for persistent connections when
running under HHVM due to a bug in their implementation of get_resource_type()
preventing us to recognize a persistent stream from userland code.
The base abstract connection class now returns a bool to indicate when
the actual connect() operation has been performed on the underlying
resource. This return value is not part of the interface so extending
classes can decide to not return any value.
Status response objects are needed mostly to make it possible from the
client perspective to differentiate a status response with the payload
"OK" from a normale bulk reply containing "OK".
The biggest change is for commands returning +OK responses: these were
previously translated to TRUE (bool value), but they are now returned
as instances of Predis\Response\Status. Just to illustrate an example
of the possibilities with this change we will use SET since it is the
most widely used command returning +OK:
$response = $client->set('foo', 'bar');
echo $response; // 'OK'
$response == 'OK'; // TRUE
isset($response->ok); // TRUE
$response == true; // TRUE
$response === true; // FALSE
$response instanceof Predis\Response\ObjectInterface; // TRUE
$response instanceof Predis\Response\Status; // TRUE
For those checking responses returned by commands such as SET or PONG,
the breaking change basically lies in the usage of strict comparison:
doing $response === true will now evaluate to FALSE instead of TRUE.
By default Predis caches common status responses such as OK or QUEUED
to lower the memory usage when using pipelines or transactions.
