danielstjules / redislock Goto Github PK

Hi, after reading documentation on npm package page, is there a way to auto extend timeout of lock, to prevent code executed outside the lock after expiring? Considering it may possible that some async work haven't finished. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for making this available. I started with the patterns on https://redis.io/commands/set, after some googling found yours.

Will it work in a cluster?
Like this: https://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial
or this: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/ (in cluster mode)

I 'm assuming this is not an implementation of https://redis.io/topics/distlock?

hi there,

been a long time since there was any activity on this project.
has it been abandoned in favor of https://github.com/makeomatic/ioredis-lock?

if your'e still here let us know :)
i'm thinking of building semaphore functionality using the api you already implemented, would do it as a PR on this repo if its still active and not abandoned.
open to discussing it as well.

cheers!

I'd love to see the ability to pass -1 as an option to retries to keep retrying forever.

In my use case I have several servers running a job scheduler, but I don't want all three scheduling duplicate jobs. But if one of the scheduler processes crashes (or the server goes down), I want another scheduler to acquire the lock and take over.

On first glance the implementation here seems to be the same as the lock implementation of redis-py, a very common python redis client implementation.
As debugging (and especially reproducing) lock errors can be very hard though, could someone with more insight (maybe @danielstjules?) confirm that this implementation is compatible with the way redis-py implements its locks?

https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py/blob/b940d073de4c13f8dfb08728965c6ac7c183c935/redis/lock.py

The Lua Scripts in both implementations basically do the same and the lock acquiring is the very same call.

Hello, man , I wanna to get suggested about which kind of strategy to pick when using RedisLock

1. Keep one lock instance in my project , and Initialize the lock when the project setup
   2.Initialize the lock in function clause . so it will destroyed when function quit

Which one do you prefer?

hi!
thanks for helping.
just asking, i just need to create a new session id, like uuid. it says this is the simple use case, but i dont get it. what do i do with the lock? i just want to add a new unique id if it doesn't exist , how do i do it?

thanks so much!
ciao!
