No project description provided

redis-bulk-cleaner

Deletes keys from Redis database in bulk.

Features

• Built for very large scale databases (10Gb+, 100 000 000+ keys)
• Uses SCAN operation so it is safe to run it without downtime
• Could process multiple patterns using only one SCAN operation
• Has option to search for given patterns, but not delete them

Usage

Install it via PyPi

pip install redis_bulk_cleaner

Firstly check what are you going to delete with --dry-run option:

$ redis_bulk_cleaner 'test:unsubscribe_token:*' 'test:session:*' --dry-run
Search for keys:
test:unsubscribe_token:*, test:session:*
===========
test:unsubscribe_token:NDCivQ45KQcTghpS
test:session:NDCivQ45KQcTghpS
test:unsubscribe_token:9SBQ1YsDPuTETWBS
test:unsubscribe_token:MckwaZGER1GiVjoX
test:session:9SBQ1YsDPuTETWBS
test:session:MckwaZGER1GiVjoX

You could pass as many patterns as you want. Only overhead will be Regex matching slowdown.

Then to actually delete keys run it without --dry-run option:

$ redis_bulk_cleaner 'test:unsubscribe_token:*' 'test:session:*'
This tools will delete ANY key that matches any of the following pattern:
test:unsubscribe_token:*, test:session:*
Do you want to continue? (y, n): y
...
6 keys cleaned

Be ware: it uses regex matching so test* will also match test_other:key. However any special symbols like .? will be escaped.

Note: because of SCAN behaviour it is not possible to calculate accurate estimate/percentage. Progress bar could go beyond 100%.

• -D, --dry-run - Do not delete keys just print them
  • Default: disabled
• -h, --host - Redis server host
  • Default: localhost
• -p, --port - Redis server port
  • Default: 6379
• --db - Redis server db
  • Default: 0
• -P, --password - Redis server password
  • Default: No password
• -b, '--batch' - Redis SCAN batch size
  • Too small value will cause slowdown, too high value could lead to memory issues/timeouts
  • Default: 500
• --disable-cursor-backups
  • By default current scan position is saving to temporary redis variable (redis_cleaner:cursor) so it will continue from same place after restart (in case of crash/network issues/etc)
  • Default: Enabled
