Feature Request - Watches on hash keys.

[Brian Knox]

For some of the work we are doing, it would be extremely advantageous to be able to WATCH a key within a hash instead of watching the top level key that points to the entire hash.  So, I'm throwing this out as a feature desire to see if others would find this useful, and get a feel for how difficult the request is.

Thanks!

+1 I could really use this feature too.

Use case:

I have a hash where keys are frequently being added and removed, but
existing keys do not change very often.
If I WATCH the top level key, then my MULTI/EXECs will fail
frequently, even though I am only interested in
updating an existing hash key in the hash.

The only workaround I can think of is to redundantly store the hash
keys as simple key-value pairs, and watch
these keys, but this is very wasteful in terms of memory.

Thanks,

Aaron

I need it too. Very useful feature.

10 years later, is this a thing already?
Or is there another way of achieving the said result?

This is not a Redis thing yet (although it may be in version gt 7.0).

It really depends on what you need to achieve and the use case. Some alternatives already exist, e.g. Keyspace Notifications, Client-Side Caching, and modules.

Cheers,

No, this is still not possible. Just like with expire per hash field,
the workaround is to store the fields as top-level keys instead.
