Incubating Project: Redis on TiKV -- Tidis

Project Incubating Request

Redis on TiKV (Tidis)

Summary

Tidis is the service layer for TiKV, aims to provide multiple model distributed storage service.

Tidis has been completely refactored and rewritten in Rust for better performance and lower latency, and added more features support, such as Lua scripts, TLS connections, meta key split and more.

Motivation

The first edition of Tidis has been archived and not production-ready, which is written by community in spare time, but a lot of demands of redis protocol on TiKV keep being proposed from community.

So a new generation of Tidis has beed developed officially by PingCAP, and this project is being tested by some business customers.

Features

• Provide redis protocol to TiKV (memcache protocol will be added later)
• Make it easy to use TiKV to store data by various redis clients or librarys, covering all languages mostly.
• Provide distribute transaction support, which is lacking in redis.

Start with the Summary, Motivation, and Features sections, then review the linked Redis client information and the listed project contributors. The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points, so research is primarily project-level. Done would require a recorded decision on the incubation request.
