How does Redis expiration work?

How does Redis expiration work?

Redis keys are expired in two ways: a passive way, and an active way. A key is passively expired simply when some client tries to access it, and the key is found to be timed out. Specifically this is what Redis does 10 times per second: Test 20 random keys from the set of keys with an associated expire.

Which command is used to remove the expiration from a Redis key?

Redis PERSIST command
Redis PERSIST command is used to remove the expiration from the key.

How many keys can be in Redis?

232 keys
Redis can handle up to 232 keys, and was tested in practice to handle at least 250 million keys per instance. Every hash, list, set, and sorted set, can hold 232 elements.

What criteria does Redis use to determine if an operation can be performed against a key?

Redis Sorted sets

• If A and B are two elements with a different score, then A > B if A. score is > B. score.
• If A and B have exactly the same score, then A > B if the A string is lexicographically greater than the B string. A and B strings can’t be equal since sorted sets only have unique elements.

What is Redis time to live?

Time to live (TTL) is an integer value that specifies the number of seconds until the key expires. Redis can specify seconds or milliseconds for this value. When an application attempts to read an expired key, it is treated as though the key is not found. The database is queried for the key and the cache is updated.

How is the expected time of expiry stored?
