Treds - Sorted Data Structure Server

Treds is a Radix Trie based data structure server that stores keys in sorted order, ensuring fast and efficient retrieval. A scan operation returns keys in their sorted sequence.

How it is different from Redis?

• Keys at root level having a common prefix can be queried optimally
• SCANKEYS/SCANKVS/KEYS/KVS commands returns the results in sorted order
• Unlike Redis KEYS, Treds KEYS has cursor and matches any valid regex expression also it returns count number of data if data is there
• Unlike Redis SCAN, Treds SCAN always returns count number of data if data is there
• Unlike Redis ZRANGEBYLEX, Treds ZRANGELEX always returns data irrespective of score, basically data across different scores are returned
• It has Sorted Maps instead of Sorted Sets. So we can create a Sorted Key/Value pair with associated with a score
• New command - DELPREFIX - Deletes all keys having a common prefix and returns number of keys deleted
• Currently, it only has Key/Value store, Sorted Maps store, List store, Set store and Hash store and only supports strings/number as values

Internals

It is single threaded and has event loop. Implemented using modified Radix trees where leaf nodes are connected by Doubly Linked List in Radix Trie to facilitate the quick lookup of keys/values in sorted order. Doubly Linked List of leaf nodes are updated at the time of create/delete and update of keys optimally. This structure is similar to Prefix Hash Tree, but for Radix Tree and without converting keys to binary. Tree Map used to store score maps also are connected internally using Doubly Linked List using similar logic. For more details - check out the medium article

Performance Comparison

Both Treds and Redis are filled with 10 Million Keys in KeyValue Store and 10 Million Keys in a Sorted Map/Set respectively Each key is of format user:%d, so every key has prefix user: The commands are run in Golang program and redirecting the output to a file go run main.go > out.

Treds - ScanKeys vs Redis - Scan

Treds Command -

scankeys 0 prefix 100000000000

Redis Command -

scan 0 match prefix count 100000000000 

This graph shows the performance comparison between Treds - ScanKeys and Redis - Scan:

Treds - ScanKVS vs RedisSearch FT.SEARCH

Treds Command -

scankvs 0 prefix 1000

Redis Command -

FT.SEARCH idx:user prefix SORTBY name LIMIT 0 1000

Prefix for redis command can be replaced by "User*", "User1*", "User10*" ... etc

go run main.go -port 7997

Default Port of Treds is 7997 If port is set in env variable as well as flag, flag takes the precedence.
