redis-lua

redis-lua provides a way for Lua apps and websites to use a Redis database as their data storage environment.

redis-lua is quite easy to install and use if you're aware of common Lua programming practices and should be a main-stay in your personal code repo if you fancy working with Redis DBs.

Features:

• User-definable commands
• Command pipelining
• Support for lots of Redis transactions
• Support for CAS operations
• Support for UNIX domain sockets

What is new in this release:

• The library is now fully compatible with Lua 5.2.
• Implemented some small optimizations in the handling of the Redis protocol.
• Client instances can be initialized with an already connected socket using the `socket` field in the parameters table (it takes the precedence over other fields such as `host`, `port` or `path`).
• The module now exposes its default command table in the `commands` field.
• It is available a new way to define custom Redis commands on a module or client-level instance.

Requirements:

• Lua 5.1 or higher
• Redis 1.2 or higher
