Redis Transaction rollback

Question

I am new to redis. I have an application in which i have multiple redis commands which makes a transaction. If one of them fails does redis rollback the transaction like relational databases ? Is it users responsibility to rollback the transaction ?

Answer 1

Redis does not rollback transactions like the relational databases does.

If you have a relational databases background, the fact that Redis commands can fail during a transaction, but still Redis will execute the rest of the transaction instead of rolling back, may look odd to you.

However there are good opinions for this behavior:

• Redis commands can fail only if called with a wrong syntax (and the problem is not detectable during the command queuing), or against keys holding the wrong data type: this means that in practical terms a failing command is the result of a programming errors, and a kind of error that is very likely to be detected during development, and not in production.

• Redis is internally simplified and faster because it does not need the ability to roll back.
