Redis Stack 7.2.0-v0 (August 2023)

This is a GA release of Redis Stack version 7.2.

Headlines:

Redis server 7.2 introduces significant memory and speed optimizations for lists, sets, and sorted sets, several improvements, including encoding improvements for sets and lists, stream consumer group improvements, and improved durability. Search and Query brings the frequently asked Geo polygons queries for basic shapes and improved query performance on sorting in different scenarios. JSON introduces two new commands: JSON.MERGE and JSON.MSET for more efficient data manipulation. Preview of triggers and functions that allows developers to run JavaScript functions inside the Redis process. Lastly, 7.2 adds the option to use the new protocol RESP3 improving the response format for all commands.

Redis server: Redis server 7.2 brings performance and resource utilization improvements, including significant memory and speed optimizations for lists, sets, and sorted sets. This new version adds a new WITHSCORE command argument for ZRANK and ZREVRANK, new commands, such as CLIENT NO-TOUCH for clients to run commands without affecting LRU/LFU of keys, and more. Redis 7.2 brings behavior changes by introducing a new format (version 11) for RDB files, which is incompatible with older versions, changing module API, and other changes.

Search and Query: This new major version introduces the frequently asked Geo Polygon Search. Adding the GEOSHAPE field type that supports polygon shapes using the WKT notation. In addition to the existing GEO for geo range queries, now an alias for GEOPOINT, we add GEOSHAPE with the support for POLYGON and POINT as new shapes formats and polygons operations.

In addition, 7.2 brings improvements in performance for SORT BY operations using FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE, and the new FORMAT for better readability and future support for better error handling responses on FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE in RESP3 only.

JSON: JSON introduces two new commands:

  • JSON.MERGE merges a given JSON value into matching paths so that the JSON values at the matching paths are updated, deleted, or expanded.
  • JSON.MSET sets or updates one or more JSON values according to specified key-path-value triplets.

Graph:

Graph capabilities are no longer included in Redis Stack. See the RedisGraph End-of-Life Announcement.

[!WARNING]
If you are using graph capabilities with an older version of Redis Stack - please don't upgrade.

Triggers and functions preview: Triggers and functions is part of Redis Stack 7.2 as public preview, any feedback is highly appreciated.

Triggers and functions provides support for running JavaScript functions inside the Redis process. These functions can be executed on-demand, by an event-driven trigger, or by a stream processing trigger. Triggers and functions empowers developers to build and maintain real-time applications by moving logic closer to the data, ensuring a lower latency whilst delivering the best developer experience.

Try it out with the triggers and functions quick start.

Redis Stack 7.2.0-rc2 (June 2023)

This is the second release of Redis Stack version 7.2.0.

Headlines:

This version contains a new capability - Triggers and Functions, improvements to the Search and Query capability, and improvements to the JSON, time series and probabilistic data structures. It also includes the latest version of RedisInsight.

The new Search and Query version introduces new and frequently asked Geo Polygon Search. Adding the GEOSHAPE field type that supports polygon shapes using WKT notation. Besides the current GEO (alias for GEOPOINT) used already geo range queries, we add the support for POLYGON as new shapes. In addition, it brings improvements in performance for SORT BY operations using FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE.

This release includes a new capability - Triggers and Functions that brings the ability to execute and trigger business logic inside Redis using JavaScript (JS). Detailed documentation and examples can be found in this GitHub repository. The Triggers and Functions commands are aligned with the Redis Functions command. The API is not yet final and might change based on feedback. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Redis Stack 7.2.0-rc1 (June 2023)

This is the first release of Redis Stack version 7.2.0.

Headlines:

This version contains the latest Search and Query capability, JSON capability, and a new version of RedisInsight. The latest Search and Query capability introduces new and frequently asked Geo Polygon Search. Adding the GEOMETRY field type that supports polygon shapes using WKT notation. In addition, it brings improvements in performance for SORT BY operations using FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE. The latest JSON capability introduces the new JSON.MERGE in compliance with RFC 7396, and JSON.MSET, which supports atomic multiple sets for keys in the same hash slot.

Features

  • Search and Query:

    • [#3553](https://github.com/RediSearch/RediSearch/pull/3553) Introduce support for Geo-polygon shapes and queries
    • [#3046](https://github.com/RediSearch/RediSearch/pull/3046) Introduce the OPTIMIZE keyword to SORTBY queries using FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE that improve performance in 4 different scenarios:
      • Skip Sorter - applied when there is no sort of any kind. The query can return once it reaches the LIMIT requested results.
      • Partial Range - applied when there is a SORTBY numeric field, with no filter or filter by the same numeric field, the query iterate on a range large enough to satisfy the LIMIT requested results.
      • Hybrid - applied when there is a SORTBY numeric field in addition to another non-numeric filter. Some results will get filtered, and the initial range may not be large enough. The iterator then is rewinded with the following ranges, and an additional iteration takes place to collect the LIMIT requested results.
      • No optimization - If there is a sort by score or non-numeric field, there is no other option but to retrieve all results and compare their values.
