NAME

   CHI::Driver::Redis::SortedSet - Redis driver for CHI with proper
   expiration of namespace keys

SYNOPSIS

       use CHI;

       my $cache = CHI->new(
           driver    => 'Redis::SortedSet',
           namespace => 'products',
           server    => '127.0.0.1:6379',
           debug     => 0
       );

DESCRIPTION

   Extends CHI::Driver::Redis to address memory leak issues from an
   unbound set holding the namespace members. This module implements the
   fix as suggested in a feature request by Pieter Noordhuis as outlined
   here <https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/135>.

   The expiration mechanism is implemented as a lazy cleanup,
   transparently invoked everytime store is called via CHI::set().

   Please note that this is not backwards compatible with existing Redis
   datasets that have already been populated with entries via the
   CHI::Driver::Redis module due to the underlying change in the data type
   holding the list of all keys in the namespace as retrieved thru
   CHI::get_keys().

FAQ

 I'm starting fresh with a new Redis database. What should I do?

   Nothing.

   Congratulations! You're in the best position to use this module instead
   of CHI::Driver::Redis if memory usage can become an issue based on your
   setup and use case.

 I've been using CHI::Driver::Redis. How do I migrate to this new module?

   The FLUSHDB <http://redis.io/commands/FLUSHDB> command should first be
   issued. Please note that this will drop all existing keys and cached
   data and so is a destructive procedure.

 Why not make the driver backwards compatible with CHI::Driver::Redis?

   Yes, that's very much possible. And should likewise not be too costly
   as it will only have to involve a one-time transparently-invoked
   migration to migrate all previously-defined namespace members from the
   original set to a sorted set, with expiration values set from each
   key's TTL <http://redis.io/commands/TTL>.

   However, it would be prudent that the memory leak is an actual issue
   being experienced by the developer before using this module. At this
   point, the developer should first be aware of the subtle changes which
   will happen under the hood.

   As such, the author has made a judgment call to make this a conscious
   decision on the developer's part.

 Why not send a pull request and incorporate this into CHI::Driver::Redis?

   The author will first collaborate with the authors of
   CHI::Driver::Redis and if deemed acceptable, merge the modifications
   into the original code base so we won't have to deal with the confusion
   of having multiple CHI drivers doing pretty much the same thing.

   Otherwise, this module will continue to exist on a different namespace
   to provide developers with this option.

BUGS

   CHI::purge() is not implemented, just like CHI::Driver::Redis.
