ZLEXCOUNT

Supported

Note

In Redis, the LEX operation is meaningful when all elements in a Sorted Set have the same score, as it enforces lexicographical sorting. However, when element scores differ, the order of returned elements is undefined. Therefore, Orca and Redis might behave inconsistently in such cases.

ZPOPMIN

Supported

ZRANGE

Supported

Note

Usage: RANGE key start stop [BYSCORE | BYLEX] [REV] [LIMIT offset count] [WITHSCORES].

When sorting, if you specify the optional parameter BYLEX for sorting, refer to the sorting effect of the ZRANGEBYLEX command.

ZRANGEBYLEX

Supported

Note

In Redis, the LEX operation is meaningful when all elements in a Sorted Set have the same score, as it enforces lexicographical sorting. However, when element scores differ, the order of returned elements is undefined. Therefore, Orca and Redis might behave inconsistently in such cases.

Key length limits

Redis limits the length of a single key to 512 MB, while Orca limits it to 4 GB.

Note

For optimal performance, use a string no longer than 2560 Bytes as a key.
