Redis hashes
Introduction to Redis hashes
Redis hashes are record types structured as collections of field-value pairs. You can use hashes to represent basic objects and to store groupings of counters, among other things.
> HSET bike:1 model Deimos brand Ergonom type 'Enduro bikes' price 4972
(integer) 4
> HGET bike:1 model
"Deimos"
> HGET bike:1 price
"4972"
> HGETALL bike:1
1) "model"
2) "Deimos"
3) "brand"
4) "Ergonom"
5) "type"
6) "Enduro bikes"
7) "price"
8) "4972"

While hashes are handy to represent objects, actually the number of fields you can put inside a hash has no practical limits (other than available memory), so you can use hashes in many different ways inside your application.
The command HSET
sets multiple fields of the hash, while HGET
retrieves
a single field. HMGET
is similar to HGET
but returns an array of values:
> HMGET bike:1 model price no-such-field
1) "Deimos"
2) "4972"
3) (nil)

as well, like HINCRBY
:

(integer) 5072
> HINCRBY bike:1 price -100
(integer) 4972

You can find the full list of hash commands in the documentation.
It is worth noting that small hashes (i.e., a few elements with small values) are encoded in special way in memory that make them very memory efficient.
Basic commands
HSET
sets the value of one or more fields on a hash.HGET
returns the value at a given field.HMGET
returns the values at one or more given fields.HINCRBY
increments the value at a given field by the integer provided.
See the complete list of hash commands.
Examples
- Store counters for the number of times bike:1 has been ridden, has crashed, or has changed owners:
> HINCRBY bike:1:stats rides 1 (integer) 1 > HINCRBY bike:1:stats rides 1 (integer) 2 > HINCRBY bike:1:stats rides 1 (integer) 3 > HINCRBY bike:1:stats crashes 1 (integer) 1 > HINCRBY bike:1:stats owners 1 (integer) 1 > HGET bike:1:stats rides "3" > HMGET bike:1:stats owners crashes 1) "1" 2) "1"

Performance
Most Redis hash commands are O(1).
A few commands - such as HKEYS
, HVALS
, and HGETALL
- are O(n), where n is the number of field-value pairs.
Limits
Every hash can store up to 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1) field-value pairs. In practice, your hashes are limited only by the overall memory on the VMs hosting your Redis deployment.
