redis-dumper CLI

Parallel processing through go routines, copy and delete thousands of key within some minutes

• copy data by key pattern from one redis instance to another (backup/restore)
• delete keys from redis (e.g by key pattern)
• generate dummy keys

Usage

Source, destination - can be provided as just <host>:<port> or in Redis URL format: redis://[:<password>@]<host>:<port>[/<dbIndex>] Pattern - can be glob-style pattern supported by Redis SCAN command.

1) Migrate - Export/Import keys

redis-dumper migrate <source> <destination> --pattern="prefix:*" --sourcePassword="SourcePassword" --targetPassword="TargetPassword"

Other flags:

  --logInterval int     "Print current status every N seconds" (default 1)
  --scanCount int       "COUNT parameter for redis SCAN command" (default 1000)
  --parallelDumps int   "Number of parallel dump goroutines" (default 100)
  --pushRoutines int    "Number of parallel restore goroutines" (default 100)
  --replaceExistingKeys bool    "Existing keys will be replaced" (default false)

2) Delete keys

redis-dumper delete <redis> --pattern="prefix:*" --password="Password" 

Other flags:

  --logInterval int       "Print current status every N seconds" (default 1)
  --scanCount int         "COUNT parameter for redis SCAN command" (default 1000)
  --parallelDeletes int   "Number of parallel delete goroutines" (default 100)

3) Generate keys

redis-dumper generate <redis> --password="Password" 

Other flags:

  --prefixes []string       "List of prefixes for generated keys" (default {"mykey:", "testkey:"})
  --prefixAmount []string   "Amount of keys to create for each prefix in one iteration" (default {"1", "2"})
  --entryCount int          "Iteration count to perform" (default 1)

Migration Job Details

Scanning

Is performed with a single goroutine, scanned keys are sent to channel

DUMPING

X export goroutines are consuming keys and perform DUMP and PTTL as a pipeline command

Restoring

Results are sent to another channel, where another Y push goroutines are performing RESTORE/REPLACE command on the destination instance

Monitoring

A goroutine outputs status every T seconds
