Retry Mechanism for GeminiDB Redis Clients

Jedis

In JedisPool mode, Jedis 4.0.0 or later supports retries. The following uses Jedis 4.0.0 as an example:

package nosql.cloud.huawei.jedis;
 
import redis.clients.jedis.DefaultJedisClientConfig;
import redis.clients.jedis.HostAndPort;
import redis.clients.jedis.JedisClientConfig;
import redis.clients.jedis.UnifiedJedis;
import redis.clients.jedis.providers.PooledConnectionProvider;
import java.time.Duration;
 
// UnifiedJedis API supported in Jedis >= 4.0.0
public class UnifiedJedisDemo {
    private static final int MAX_ATTEMPTS = 5;
    private static final Duration MAX_TOTAL_RETRIES_DURATION = Duration.ofSeconds(15);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Basic connection config
        JedisClientConfig jedisClientConfig = DefaultJedisClientConfig.builder().password("xxx").build();
        // Implement retry
        PooledConnectionProvider provider = new 
            PooledConnectionProvider(HostAndPort.from("{ip}:{port}"), jedisClientConfig);
        UnifiedJedis jedis = new UnifiedJedis(provider, MAX_ATTEMPTS, MAX_TOTAL_RETRIES_DURATION);
        try {
            System.out.println("set key: " + jedis.set("key", "value"));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Signifies reaching either the maximum number of failures,
            MAX_ATTEMPTS, or the maximum query time, MAX_TOTAL_RETRIES_DURATION
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Redisson

package nosql.cloud.huawei.jedis;
import org.redisson.Redisson;
import org.redisson.api.RBucket;
import org.redisson.api.RedissonClient;
import org.redisson.config.Config;
 
public class RedissonDemo {
    private static final int TIME_OUT = 3000;
    private static final int RETRY_ATTEMPTS = 5;
    private static final int RETRY_INTERVAL = 1500;
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Config config = new Config();
        config.useSingleServer()
              .setPassword("xxx")
              .setTimeout(TIME_OUT)
              .setRetryAttempts(RETRY_ATTEMPTS)
              .setRetryInterval(RETRY_INTERVAL)
              .setAddress("redis://{ip}:{port}");
        RedissonClient redissonClient = Redisson.create(config);
        RBucket<String> bucket = redissonClient.getBucket("key");
        bucket.set("value");
    }
}

Go-redis

package main
 
import (
       "context"
       "fmt"
       "time"
 
       "github.com/redis/go-redis/v9"
)
 
var ctx = context.Background()
 
func main() {
 
    client := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
        Addr:     "localhost:6379",
        Password: "", // no password set
        DB:       0,  // use default DB
        MaxRetries: 3, // set max retry times
        MinRetryBackoff: time.Duration(1) * time.Second, // set retry interval
        MaxRetryBackoff: time.Duration(2) * time.Second, // set retry interval
    })
 
    // Execute command
    err := client.Set(ctx, "key", "value", 0).Err()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
 
    // Test
    pong, err := client.Ping(ctx).Result()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Failed:", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("Success:", pong)
}

Redis-py

import redis
from redis.retry import Retry
from redis.exceptions import ConnectionError
from redis.backoff import ExponentialBackoff
from redis.client import Redis
from redis.exceptions import (
   BusyLoadingError,
   ConnectionError,
   TimeoutError
)
 
# Run 3 retries with exponential backoff strategy
retry_strategy = Retry(ExponentialBackoff(), 3)
 
# Redis client with retries
client = redis.Redis(
    host = 'localhost',
    port = 6379,
    retry = retry_strategy,
    # Retry on custom errors
    retry_on_error = [BusyLoadingError, ConnectionError, TimeoutError],
    # Retry on timeout
    retry_on_timeout = True
)
 
try:
    client.ping()
    print("Connected to Redis!")
except ConnectionError:
    print("Failed to connect to Redis after retries.")
 
try:
    client.set('key', 'value')
    print("Set key and value success!")
except ConnectionError:
    print("Failed to set key after retries.")

Hiredis

Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library and does not provide a preset automated retry mechanism. You need to manually compile the logic.

The following is a simple example of how to implement an automated connection retry in a loop and with a delay, similar to command retry settings.

#include <hiredis/hiredis.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
 
redisContext* connect_with_retry(const char *hostname, int port, int max_retries, int retry_interval) {
    redisContext *c = NULL;
    int attempt = 0;
 
    while (attempt < max_retries) {
        c = redisConnect(hostname, port);
        if (c != NULL && c->err == 0) {
            printf("Connection success!\n");
            return c;
        }
 
        if (c != NULL) {
            printf("Connection error: %s\n", c->errstr);
            redisFree(c);
        } else {
            printf("Connection failed\n");
        }
 
        printf("Retrying in %d seconds...\n", retry_interval);
        sleep(retry_interval);
        attempt++;
    }
 
    return NULL;
}
 
int main() {
    const char* hostname = "127.0.0.1";
    int port = 6379;
    int max_retries = 5;
    int retry_interval = 2;
 
    redisContext *c = connect_with_retry(hostname, port, max_retries, retry_interval);
    if (c == NULL) {
        printf("Failed to connect to Redis after %d attempts\n", max_retries);
        return 1;
    }
 
    redisFree(c);
    return 0;
}
