two questions about lua scripting

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hi All,

1) Is there a sha1 function?  I read here: http://antirez.com/m/p.php?i=234 about sha1(), but seems not available?

2) I need to write current time to a hash's field (as an object's last updated timestamp), but TIME is not allowed in writing context. I can use an external time source, but why on earth is this decision? What consequence will there be, if we can call TIME in lua scripting?

Thanks,
Shannon

redis.sha1hex(string) will return a hex digest. https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/unstable/src/scripting.c#L508

About the time, I'm pretty sure that's because of replication. If the time is a parameter it can be replicated, but if the time is read from the OS every time the results will be different. The same thing applies to random parameters.

I still don't understand why replication is a problem. On the EVAL document page there is a demo on generating random keys, by calling math.random() in lua.   Since it is "random" why Redis insist that Master and Slave must hold the same data?
