I'm replacing KEYS with SCAN using phpredis.
$redis = new Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_RETRY);
$it = NULL;
while($arr_keys = $redis->scan($it, "mykey:*", 10000)) {
foreach($arr_keys as $str_key) {
echo "Here is a key: $str_key\n";
}
}
According to redis documentation, I use SCAN to paginate searches to avoid disadvantage of using KEYS.
But in practice, using above code costs me 3 times lower than using just a single $redis->keys()
So I'm wondering if I've done something wrong, or I have to pay speed to avoid KEYS's threat?
Note that I totally have 400K+ keys in my db, and 4 mykey:*
keys
