Running multiple commands with different types?

[chakaz]

Hello memtier experts!
I'd like to use memtier for running multiple commands using multiple data types (like SET, ZADD, LPUSH, etc). While memtier does support multiple --command arguments (which is awesome!), since keys use a common generation technique (like using --key-prefix), this can't be done, as the same key may once be used for SET and then randomly for ZADD, for example.
Is there a way that I'm missing to specify per-command key prefix, or some other way of getting this to work?

BTW, I'd also propose a way to generate random numbers (in addition to __key__ and __data_), as this may be useful for ZADD scores. Maybe __random__ or even better: __random__[0-100]?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @chakaz you are right, currently --key-prefix is shared between all the arbitrary commands.
Can --command-key-pattern=S (Sequential) help in your case? it will set a different key for each command?

Anyway, we will work to improve the --command option and will take your suggestion (__random__) into consideration.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I'm afraid not, as that will never create, for example, lists with 2 entries. Nor will it ever read from an existing list (again, example).

Anyway, we will work to improve the --command option and will take your suggestion (__random__) into consideration.

Awesome, thanks a lot!
