Tair:exZset

Last Updated:Jul 03, 2024

The TairZset (exZset) data structure allows you to sort data of the DOUBLE type based on 256 dimensions. It is ideal for implementing leaderboards for use in industries such as gaming, live streaming, music, and e-commerce. TairZset improves data processing efficiency and is also easy to implement on the client side because you do not need to encode, decode, or encapsulate data.

Overview

The Sorted Set (also known as Zset) data structure of open source Redis allows you to sort DOUBLE-type scores only by one dimension instead of multiple dimensions. For example, you can use the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) standard to implement multidimensional sorting by concatenating score data. However, this method has drawbacks such as complex logic, reduced precision, and unavailability of the EXZINCRBY command.

To help you implement multidimensional sorting, Alibaba Cloud developed the TairZset data structure. Compared with the preceding method, TairZset has the following advantages:

  • Allows DOUBLE-type scores to be sorted based on a maximum of 256 dimensions. The scores are displayed from left to right based on their priorities.

    In a multidimensional sorting, a left score has higher priority than a right score. Take the comparison of three-dimensional scores in the score1#score2#score3 format as an example. TairZset compares the score1s of multiple three-dimensional scores and moves on to score2s only when score1s are equal. If score1s are not equal, the ranking of score1s represents the ranking of the three-dimensional scores involved. By the same logic, score3s are compared only if score2s are equal. If all score1s are equal and the same holds true for score2s and score3s, the involved multidimensional scores are ranked in ASCII sort order.

    For easier understanding, you can imagine number signs (#) as decimal points (.). This way, 0#99 < 99#90 < 99#99 can be seen as 0.99 < 99.90 < 99.99.

  • Supports the EXZINCRBY command. You no longer need to perform the following operations: retrieve current data, apply the increments to the data, and then write the data back to Tair.

  • Supports APIs similar to those available for open source Redis Zset.

  • Allows you to implement regular leaderboards and distributed leaderboards to detect malware. If malware is detected, the feature generates alert events.

  • Supports the open source TairJedis client. For more information about the TairJedis client, visit GitHub. You can use the TairJedis client without the need to encode, decode, or encapsulate data. You can also encapsulate clients for other programming languages by referring to the open source code.

Typical scenarios

TairZset is ideal for implementing leaderboards for use in industries such as gaming, live streaming, music, and e-commerce. The following section lists some examples:

  • Leaderboards for the live streaming industry: In live matches, commentators are sorted by their current popularity value. If the popularity value is the same, they are sorted by the number of their likes. If the number of likes is also the same, they are sorted by the value of their gifts.

  • Leaderboards for medals: Participants are sorted by the number of their gold, silver, and bronze medals. If the number of gold medals is the same, they are sorted by the number of silver medals. If the number of silver medals is also the same, they are sorted by the number of bronze medals.

  • Leaderboards for the gaming industry: Players are sorted based on multiple factors, including their scores, task completion speeds, and achievement levels.

TairZset commands

Command

Syntax

Description

EXZADD

EXZADD key [NX|XX] [CH] [INCR] score member [score member ...]

Stores the specified element and its score in a TairZset key. You can specify multiple scores and elements.

Note

To implement multidimensional sorting, you can separate the scores of each dimension with number signs (#). Example: 111#222#121. All elements of a key must have the same score format.

EXZINCRBY

EXZINCRBY key increment member

Increases the score of an element in a TairZset key. increment indicates the value that you want to add to the score.

EXZSCORE

EXZSCORE key member

Returns the score of an element in a TairZset key. If the key or element does not exist, a value of nil is returned.

EXZRANGE key min max [WITHSCORES]

Returns the elements of a TairZset key within the specified score range.

EXZREVRANGE

EXZREVRANGE key min max [WITHSCORES]

Returns the elements of a TairZset key within the specified score range. Elements are stored by score in descending order, and elements with the same score are sorted in reverse lexicographical order.

Note

This command is similar to EXZRANGE except that this command sorts the results in reverse.

EXZRANGEBYSCORE

EXZRANGEBYSCORE key min max [WITHSCORES] [LIMIT offset count]

Returns the elements of a TairZset key whose scores are greater than or equal to the min value and are less than or equal to the max value. The returned elements are sorted by score in ascending order, and elements with the same score are returned in lexicographical order.

EXZREVRANGEBYSCORE

EXZREVRANGEBYSCORE key max min [WITHSCORES] [LIMIT offset count]

Returns the elements of a TairZset key whose scores are greater than or equal to the min value and are less than or equal to the max value. Contrary to the default sorting of TairZset elements, the elements returned by this command are sorted by score in descending order, and elements with the same score are sorted in reverse lexicographical order.

Note

This command is similar to EXZRANGEBYSCORE except that this command sorts the results in reverse and places max in front of min.

EXZRANGEBYLEX

EXZRANGEBYLEX key min max [LIMIT offset count]

Returns the elements of a TairZset key whose scores are between the min value and the max value when all elements of the key have the same score. This ensures that elements are sorted in lexicographical order.

EXZREVRANGEBYLEX

Note

If you use the min and max parameters to specify the same range for the EXZREMRANGEBYLEX and EXZRANGEBYLEX commands, the elements removed by the EXZREMRANGEBYLEX command are the same as those returned by the EXZRANGEBYLEX command.

EXZCARD

EXZCARD key

Returns the cardinality of a TairZset key. Cardinality indicates the number of elements in a key.

EXZRANK

EXZRANK key member

Returns the rank of an element in a TairZset key. Ranks are sorted by score in ascending order. Ranks use a zero-based numbering scheme, and the rank of the element that has the lowest score is 0. Rank is also known as index.

EXZREVRANK

EXZREVRANK key member

Returns the rank of an element in a TairZset key. Ranks are sorted by score in descending order. Ranks use a zero-based numbering scheme, and the rank of the element that has the highest score is 0. Rank is also known as index.

EXZADD

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZADD key [NX|XX] [CH] [INCR] score member [score member ...]

Time complexity

O(N)

Command description

Stores the specified element and its score in a TairZset key. You can specify multiple scores and elements. The system uses different strategies based on whether the key and element exist.

Note

To implement multidimensional sorting, you can separate the scores of each dimension with number signs (#). Example: 111#222#121. All elements of a key must have the same score format.

  • If the key exists but its data structure is not TairZset, an error is returned.

  • If the key does not exist, the system creates a TairZset key and adds the element to the key.

  • If the element is already an element of the key, the score of the element is updated and the element is reinserted into the right position to avoid disruptions to sorting.

  • Each score is represented by a string of double-precision floating-point numbers. The +inf and -inf values are valid values.

Parameter

  • NX: adds new elements and does not update existing elements.

  • XX: updates existing elements and does not add new elements.

  • CH: changes the command output from the number of new elements added to the total number of elements that have changed.

    Note

    Changed elements include new elements and existing elements with updated scores. If the score of an existing element in the command line does not change, the element is not counted as a changed element.

  • INCR: When this parameter is specified, EXZADD acts similarly to EXZINCRBY, which indicates that only one pair of score and element can be specified in this mode.

Output

The output is an integer. The following rules describe the output:

  • If no parameters are specified, the output is the number of elements added to the TairZset key.

  • If the CH parameter is specified, the output is the number of elements that have changed (elements that have been added or updated).

  • If the INCR parameter is specified, the command returns the new score of the element as a string. If multidimensional scores are used, the score is returned in the "score1# score2# score3#..." format. Example: 2#0#6.

    Note

    If this command is stopped because the XX or NX parameter is included in this command, a value of nil is returned.

Example

Sample command:

EXZADD testkey NX 1#0#3 a 1#0#2 b

Sample output:

(integer) 2

EXZINCRBY

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZINCRBY key increment member

Time complexity

O(log(N))

Command description

Increases the score of an element in a TairZset key. increment indicates the value that you want to add to the score. The system uses different strategies based on whether the key and element exist:

  • If the key exists but its data structure is not TairZset, an error is returned.

  • If the key does not exist, the system creates a TairZset key and uses the element as the only element of the key.

  • If the key has no element, the system adds an element whose score is the increment value to the key, which indicates that the original score of the element is assumed to be 0.0.

Note
  • To implement multidimensional sorting, you can separate the scores of each dimension with number signs (#). Example: 111#222#121. All elements of a key must have the same score format.

  • The score value is a string of numeric values and can be a string of double-precision floating-point numbers. If you want to lower the score of an element, specify a negative number.

Time complexity

O(log(N)+M), where N indicates the number of elements in the TairZset key and M indicates the number of elements to be returned.

Note

When M is set to a constant, this expression can be regarded as O(log(N)). For example, you can specify that the first 10 elements are always returned by using the LIMIT clause.

Command description

Returns the elements of a TairZset key whose scores are greater than or equal to the min value and are less than or equal to the max value. Returned elements are sorted by score in ascending order. Elements with the same score are returned in lexicographical order.

Parameter

  • min: indicates the lowest score. max: indicates the highest score. If multidimensional scores are used, scores of each dimension are separated by number signs (#).

    Note
    • If you are not sure about the highest and lowest element scores of a key and you want to query elements whose scores are greater than or equal to or are less than or equal to the specified value, set min to negative infinity (-inf) and max to positive infinity (+inf).

    • The default score range is a closed interval. To specify an open interval, add a parenthesis. For example, (1 5 indicates that elements whose scores are greater than 1 and are less than or equal to 5 are returned.

  • WITHSCORES: returns the scores of elements.

  • LIMIT offset count: specifies the number and interval of returned elements. If you set count to a negative integer, all elements that start from the specified offset are returned.

  • If the key or element does not exist, a value of nil is returned.

Example

Sample command:

EXZRANK testkey b

Sample output:

(integer) 0

EXZREVRANK

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZREVRANK key member

Time complexity

O(log(N))

Command description

Returns the rank of an element in a TairZset key. Ranks are sorted by score in descending order. Ranks use a zero-based numbering scheme, and the rank of the element that has the highest score is 0. Rank is also known as index.

Note

This command is similar to EXZRANK except that this command sorts the results in reverse.

Parameter

None

Output

  • If the element exists, the integer rank of the element is returned.

  • If the key or element does not exist, a value of nil is returned.

Example

Sample command:

EXZREVRANK testkey b

Sample output:

(integer) 1

EXZCOUNT

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZCOUNT key min max

Time complexity

O(log(N)), where N indicates the number of elements in the TairZset key.

Note

This command uses element ranks to obtain the query range. Therefore, the workloads associated with this command are not proportional to the size of the range.

Command description

Returns the number of elements in a TairZset key whose scores are between the min value and the max value.

Parameter

min: indicates the lowest score. max: indicates the highest score. If multidimensional scores are used, scores of each dimension are separated by number signs (#).

Note
  • If you are not sure about the highest and lowest element scores of a key and you want to query elements whose scores are greater than or equal to or are less than or equal to the specified value, set min to negative infinity and max to positive infinity.

  • The default score range is a closed interval. To specify an open interval, add a parenthesis. For example, (1 5 indicates that elements whose scores are greater than 1 and are less than or equal to 5 are returned.

Output

The integer number of elements within the specified score range.

Example

Sample command:

EXZCOUNT testkey (1#0#2 6#6#6

Sample output:

(integer) 1

EXZLEXCOUNT

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZLEXCOUNT key min max

Time complexity

O(log(N)), where N indicates the number of elements in the TairZset key.

Note

This command uses element ranks to obtain the query range. Therefore, the workloads associated with this command are not proportional to the size of the range.

Command description

Returns the number of elements in a TairZset key whose scores are between the min value and the max value when all elements of the key have the same score. This ensures that elements are sorted in lexicographical order.

Note
  • If the elements of a key have different scores, the returned elements are unknown.

  • You can use the memcmp() C function to compare two string elements byte-by-byte. Elements are sorted in ascending order based on the preceding comparison. If two strings contain the same substring, the longer string is assigned a greater value than the shorter string.

Parameter

min: indicates the minimum string representation value of the element name. max: indicates the maximum string representation value of the element name. You must specify the intervals of characters. The following section shows how to specify intervals:

  • To specify an open interval, add a parenthesis. Example: (a.

  • To specify a closed interval, add a bracket. Example: [a.

Output

The integer number of elements within the specified score range.

Example

Sample command:

EXZLEXCOUNT zzz [a [b

Sample output:

(integer) 2

EXZRANKBYSCORE

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZRANKBYSCORE key score

Time complexity

O(log(N))

Command description

Calculates the rank of the specified element score in a TairZset key. Ranks are sorted by score in ascending order. Ranks use a zero-based numbering scheme, and the rank of the element that has the lowest score is 0. Rank is also known as index.

Note

If the score does not exist, the estimated rank of the score in the key is returned. If the score already exists, Tair ranks the score in front of the existing score in the key.

Parameter

None

Output

The rank of the score in the key.

Example

Sample command:

EXZRANKBYSCORE testkey 2#0#2 

Sample output:

(integer) 1

EXZREVRANKBYSCORE

Item

Description

Syntax

EXZREVRANKBYSCORE key score

Time complexity

O(log(N))

Command description

Calculates the rank of the specified element score in a TairZset key. Ranks are sorted by score in descending order. Ranks use a zero-based numbering scheme, and the rank of the element that has the highest score is 0. Rank is also known as index.

Note

If the score does not exist, the estimated rank of the score in the key is returned. If the score already exists, Tair ranks the score behind the existing score in the key.

Parameter

None

Output

The rank of the score in the key.

Example

Sample command:

EXZREVRANKBYSCORE testkey 2#0#2 

Sample output:

(integer) 1
