What's new in Redis 3.0 compared to Redis 2.8?
- Redis Cluster: a distributed implementation of a subset of Redis.
- New "embedded string" object encoding resulting in less cache
misses. Big speed gain under certain work loads.
- AOF child -> parent final data transmission to minimize latency due
to "last write" during AOF rewrites.
- Much improved LRU approximation algorithm for keys eviction.
- WAIT command to block waiting for a write to be transmitted to
the specified number of slaves.
- MIGRATE connection caching. Much faster keys migraitons.
- MIGARTE new options COPY and REPLACE.
- CLIENT PAUSE command: stop processing client requests for a
specified amount of time.
- BITCOUNT performance improvements.
- CONFIG SET accepts memory values in different units (for example
you can use "CONFIG SET maxmemory 1gb").
- Redis log format slightly changed reporting in each line the role of the
instance (master/slave) or if it's a saving child log.
- INCR performance improvements.
