ApsaraDB for Redis is fully compatible with open source Redis. You can connect to ApsaraDB for Redis in the same way as you connect to open source Redis. Therefore, you can use a client that is compatible with the Redis protocol to connect to ApsaraDB for Redis. You can connect to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance by using clients of different programming languages.

Prerequisites

The following operations are performed based on the type of host on which the client is deployed.
Host on which the client is deployed Operation
ECS instance (recommended)
  1. Make sure that the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance and the ApsaraDB for Redis instance belong to the same virtual private cloud (VPC). In this case, the same VPC ID is displayed in the Basic Information section of the instances.
    Note
    • If the instances are deployed in different VPCs, you can change the VPC to which the ECS instance belongs. For more information, see Change the VPC of an ECS instance.
    • The network types of the ECS instance and the ApsaraDB for Redis instance may be different. For example, the ECS instance belongs to the classic network and the ApsaraDB for Redis instance belongs to a VPC. For more information about how to connect to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance from an ECS instance when the instances are deployed in different types of networks, see Connect an ECS instance to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance in different types of networks.
  2. Obtain the internal IP address of the ECS instance. For more information, see the "How do I query the IP addresses of ECS instances?" section of the Network FAQ topic.
  3. Add the internal IP address of the ECS instance to a whitelist of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance. For more information, see Configure whitelists.
On-premises device
  1. By default, only internal endpoints are available for ApsaraDB for Redis instances. If you want to connect to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance over the Internet, you must apply for a public endpoint. For more information, see Apply for a public endpoint.
  2. Run the curl ipinfo.io |grep ip command on the on-premises device to obtain its public IP address. The following figure shows a sample result.View the public IP address of the on-premises device
    Note If the on-premises device runs a Windows operating system, visit ipinfo to obtain the public IP address.
  3. Add the public IP address of the on-premises device to a whitelist of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance. For more information, see Configure whitelists.

Precautions

  • By default, cluster or read/write splitting instances use the proxy mode. In this mode, you can access ApsaraDB for Redis instances by using the endpoint of a proxy node in the same way that you access standard instances of ApsaraDB for Redis. For more information, see Cluster master-replica instances or Read/write splitting instances.
    Note If you use a private endpoint to connect to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance, you can connect to the instance in the same way that you connect to an open source Redis cluster. For more information, see Enable the direct connection mode.
  • If password-free access enabled for an ApsaraDB for Redis instance deployed in a VPC, a client in the same VPC as the instance can connect to the instance without using passwords. For more information, see Enable password-free access.

Obtain connection information

When you use a client to connect to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance, you must obtain the following connection information and specify the information in the code.

Item Description
Instance endpoint ApsaraDB for Redis instances support multiple types of endpoints. We recommend that you use internal endpoints in VPCs for higher security and lower network latency. For more information, see View endpoints.
Port number The default port number is 6379. You can use a custom port number. For more information, see Change the endpoint or port number of an ApsaraDB for Redis instance.
Instance account (this information is optional for specific clients) By default, an ApsaraDB for Redis instance has a database account that is named after the instance ID, such as r-bp10noxlhcoim2****. You can create another database account and grant the required permissions to the account. For more information, see Create and manage database accounts.
Password

The password format varies based on the selected account:

  • If you use the default account whose username is the same as the instance ID, enter only the password.
  • If you use a custom account, enter the password in the format of <user>:<password>. For example, if the username of the custom account is testaccount and the password is Rp829dlwa, you must enter testaccount:Rp829dlwa.
Note
  • If you use a management tool such as Redis Desktop Manager (RDM) to connect to the ApsaraDB for Redis instance, enter a password in the format of <user>:<password>.
  • If you forget your password, you can reset it. For more information about how to reset a password, see Change or reset the password.

Common types of clients

For information about all types of clients supported by Redis, see Clients.

Note

Jedis client

Note We recommend that you select the TairJedis client if you use a performance-enhanced instance of ApsaraDB for Redis Enhanced Edition (Tair). For more information about performance-enhanced instances, see Performance-enhanced instances.
  1. Download and install the Jedis client. For more information, visit Getting started.
  2. Select a connection method based on your business requirements.
    • JedisPool-based connection. This connection method is recommended.
      1. Launch the Eclipse client, create a project, and then add the following dependency to the pom file:
        <dependency>
   <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
   <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
   <version>Latest non-RC version</version>
   <type>jar</type>
   <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
        Note For information about the latest versions of the Jedis client, visit the Releases page.
      2. Enter the following code in the project based on the Jedis client version, and then modify the code based on the comments.
        Note For information about how to obtain the endpoint of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance and the password of the instance account, see Obtain connection information. 
        JedisPoolConfig config = new JedisPoolConfig();
// The maximum number of idle connections allowed. You can set this parameter to a custom value. Make sure that the specified value does not exceed the maximum number of connections that the ApsaraDB for Redis instance supports.
config.setMaxIdle(200);
// The maximum number of connections allowed. You can set this parameter to a custom value. Make sure that the specified value does not exceed the maximum number of connections that the ApsaraDB for Redis instance supports.

    }
    else if(jedis != null)
    {
        pool.returnResource(jedis);
    }
}
    • Single Jedis connection. This connection method is not recommended because a client cannot automatically reconnect to the ApsaraDB for Redis instance after a connection times out.

      Launch the Eclipse client, create a project, enter the following code, and then modify the code based on the comments.

      Note For information about how to obtain the endpoint of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance and the password of the instance account, see Obtain connection information. 
      import redis.clients.jedis.Jedis;
public class jedistest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     String host = "r-bp10noxlhcoim2****.redis.rds.aliyuncs.com";// Specify the endpoint of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance.
     int port = 6379;
     Jedis jedis = new Jedis(host, port);
     //Specify the authentication information.
     jedis.auth("password");//password
     String key = "redis";
     String value = "aliyun-redis";
     //Select a database. Default value: 0.
     jedis.select(1);
     //Specify a key.
     jedis.set(key, value);
     System.out.println("Set Key " + key + " Value: " + value);
     //Obtain the configured key and value.
     String getvalue = jedis.get(key);
     System.out.println("Get Key " + key + " ReturnValue: " + getvalue);
     jedis.quit();
     jedis.close();
} 
catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
}
}
  3. Run the project. If Eclipse returns the following result, it indicates that the client is connected to the ApsaraDB for Redis instance. 
    Set Key redis Value aliyun-redis
Get Key redis ReturnValue aliyun-redis
Warning If some invalid parameters are set or some features are not properly used, errors may occur. For more information about how to troubleshoot errors, see Common Jedis exceptions in ApsaraDB for Redis.

  3. Run the preceding code to connect to the ApsaraDB for Redis instance.

C# client StackExchange.Redis

Warning If you need to switch or select a database from multiple databases in a cluster instance or read/write splitting instance, you must set the cluster_compat_enable parameter to 0 and restart the client. This disables the support for the cluster syntax of open source Redis. Otherwise, the following error message is returned: RedisCommandException: Multiple databases are not supported on this server; cannot switch to database: 1. For more information, see Modify the parameters of an ApsaraDB for Redis instance.
  1. Download and install the StackExchange.Redis client.

    • For information about how to obtain the endpoint of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance and the password of the instance account, see Obtain connection information.
    • If you use a performance-enhanced instance of ApsaraDB for Redis Enhanced Edition (Tair), you can click the preceding Code for ApsaraDB for Redis Enhanced Edition (Tair) instances tab to view the example on how to use the TairString data structure. For more information about performance-enhanced instances, see Performance-enhanced instances. For more information about the data structures and commands, see New commands supported by performance-enhanced instances of ApsaraDB for Redis Enhanced Edition (Tair).
    • ConfigurationOptions is a core object of the StackExchange.Redis client. ConfigurationOptions is shared and reused by the client. The singleton pattern is recommended. For more information about parameter settings, see Configuration Options.
    • GetDatabase() returns a lightweight object. You can obtain this object from the ConnectionMultiplexer object. 
       redisConn = getRedisConn();
 var db = redisConn.GetDatabase();

//mset mget
KeyValuePair<RedisKey, RedisValue> kv1 = new KeyValuePair<RedisKey, RedisValue>("key1", "value1");
KeyValuePair<RedisKey, RedisValue> kv2 = new KeyValuePair<RedisKey, RedisValue>("key2", "value2");
db.StringSet(new KeyValuePair<RedisKey, RedisValue>[] {kv1,kv2});            
RedisValue[] values = db.StringGet(new RedisKey[] {kv1.Key, kv2.Key});
Console.WriteLine("mget " + kv1.Key.ToString() + " " + kv2.Key.ToString() + ", result is " + values[0] + "&&" + values[1]);
    string hashKey = "myhash";
//hset
db.HashSet(hashKey,"f1","v1");
db.HashSet(hashKey,"f2", "v2");
HashEntry[] values = db.HashGetAll(hashKey);
//hgetall
Console.Write("hgetall " + hashKey + ", result is");

Note

Lettuce client

The Lettuce client supports synchronous and asynchronous communication based on comprehensive Redis API operations. The Lettuce client does not automatically reconnect to an instance after multiple requests time out. If failures occur in ApsaraDB for Redis and cause failovers for proxy nodes or data nodes, a connection timeout may occur. This may result in the failure to reconnect to ApsaraDB for Redis. To prevent such risks, we recommend that you use the Jedis client.

Note For information about how to obtain the endpoint of the ApsaraDB for Redis instance and the password of the instance account, see Obtain connection information.

For more information, visit lettuce-core.
