Install and upgrade modules
Several modules that provide additional Redis capabilities, such as search and query, JSON, time series, and probabilistic data structures, come packaged with Redis Enterprise Software. As of version 8.0, Redis Enterprise Software includes four feature sets, compatible with different Redis database versions.
However, if you want to use additional modules or upgrade a module to a more recent version, you need to:
- Install a module package on the cluster.
- Enable a module for a new database or upgrade a module in an existing database.
Automatically enabled capabilities in Redis 8
Databases created with or upgraded to Redis version 8 or later automatically enable the capabilities (modules) bundled with Redis Enterprise Software as follows:
| Database type | Automatically enabled capabilities |
|---|---|
| RAM-only | Search and query JSON Time series Probabilistic |
| Flash-enabled (Redis Flex) | JSON Probabilistic |
| Active-Active | Search and query JSON |
