dropwizard-redis

Provides easy integration for Dropwizard applications with Redis via the Lettuce library.

This bundle comes with out-of-the-box support for:

• Configuration
• Client lifecycle management
• Client health checks
• Dropwizard Metrics integration
• Brave distributed tracing instrumentation integration for the Lettuce client.
• Support for the Lettuce cluster client.
• Support for the Lettuce sentinel client
• Support the the Lettuce basic Redis client

For more information on Redis, take a look at the official documentation here: https://redis.io/documentation

Usage

Add dependency on library.

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.dropwizard.modules</groupId>
  <artifactId>dropwizard-redis</artifactId>
  <version>$latest-version</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

compile "io.dropwizard.modules:dropwizard-redis:$latest-version"

Basic Lettuce Client

In your Dropwizard Configuration class, configure a RedisClientFactory:

@Valid
@NotNull
@JsonProperty("redis")
private RedisClientFactory<String, String> redisClientFactory;

Then, in your Application class, you'll want to do something similar to the following:

private final RedisClientBundle<String, String, ExampleConfiguration> redis = new RedisClientBundle<String, String, ExampleConfiguration>() {
    @Override
    public RedisClientFactory<String, String> getRedisClientFactory(ExampleConfiguration configuration) {
        return configuration.getRedisClientFactory();
    }
};

@Override
public void initialize(Bootstrap<ExampleConfiguration> bootstrap) {
    bootstrap.addBundle(redis);
}

@Override
public void run(ExampleConfiguration config, Environment environment) {
    final StatefulRedisConnection<String, String> connection = redisCluster.getConnection();
    final PersonCache personCache = new PersonCache(connection); // PersonCache is an arbtirary example
    environment.jersey().register(new PersonResource(personCache));
}

redis:
  type: basic
  name: my-redis-use-case
  node:
    type: redis
    node: "127.0.0.1:6379"
    clientName: person-app
  redisCodec:
    type: string
  clientResources:
    type: default
    commandLatencyRecorder:
      type: default
      enabled: false

Lettuce Cluster Client

In your Dropwizard Configuration class, configure a RedisClusterClientFactory:

@Valid
@NotNull
@JsonProperty("redis-cluster")
private RedisClusterClientFactory<String, String> redisClientFactory;

Then, in your Application class, you'll want to do something similar to the following:

private final RedisClusterClientBundle<String, String, ExampleConfiguration> redisCluster = new RedisClusterClientBundle<String, String, ExampleConfiguration>() {
    @Override
    public RedisClusterClientFactory<String, String> getRedisClusterClientFactory(ExampleConfiguration configuration) {
        return configuration.getRedisClusterClientFactory();
    }
};

@Override
public void initialize(Bootstrap<ExampleConfiguration> bootstrap) {
    bootstrap.addBundle(redisCluster);
}

@Override
public void run(ExampleConfiguration config, Environment environment) {
    final StatefulRedisClusterConnection<String, String> clusterConnection = redisCluster.getClusterConnection();
    final PersonCache personCache = new PersonCache(clusterConnection); // PersonCache is an arbtirary example
    environment.jersey().register(new PersonResource(personCache));
}

Configure your factory in your config.yml file:

redis-cluster:
  type: cluster
  name: my-redis-cluster-use-case
  nodes:
    - type: redis
      node: "127.0.0.1:6379"
      clientName: person-app
      password: hunter2
  redisCodec:
    type: string
  clientResources:
    type: default
    commandLatencyRecorder:
      type: default
      enabled: false
