Introduction

Redis 0.1, entirely built in Go and exposed via a TCP server, features in-memory storage capabilities. The program accepts database commands from the client connections and processes them, creating in-memory database structures. The output is then displayed both on the standard output stream and to the connected clients.

How to Run and Connect to the Server

• Clone the repository and run the program using go run ./process from the 'process' folder.
• Connect to the default server at port 8000 using telnet localhost 8000.
• For a custom port, use the following command: go run ./process -p :<custom_port>.

Supported Commands

Redis 0.1 supports basic CRUD commands:

• SET <k> <v>: Set the key to a specified value, if the value, has spaces, then it must be enclsed in quotes as SET sample_key "spaced value".
• GET <k>: Retrieve the value of a previously set key.
• DELETE <k>: Delete a key if present.

Arithmetic operation commands include:

• INCR <k>: Increment the value of a specified key by 1 (if it's an integer), sets new key with default value of "1" if key not present.
• INCRBY <k> <v>: Increment the value of a specified key by v (if it's an integer), gives error if key not present.

Commands for executing multiple instructions at once:

• MULTI: Start queuing commands.
• EXEC: Execute the queued commands.
• DISCARD: Discard the queued commands.

Additional commands:

• COMPACT: Display the final SET value of a key if the value was an integer.

Database Structure

Redis features databases indexed from 0 to 15. After connection establishment, select a database to operate on using:

• SELECT <db_number>: Select a database ranging from 0 to 15 based on the provided number.

Disconnecting from the Server

To terminate an established connection, use the DISCONNECT command, which will terminate the connection from the client-side.
