What are the different types of data structures supported by Redis?
The data structures in Redis mainly consist of the following categories:
- String: the most basic data structure that can store text, numbers, and other types of data.
- List: a doubly linked list that can store multiple elements and supports inserting and deleting elements at both ends.
- Set: an unordered collection of strings in which duplicate elements are not allowed.
- Sorted set: Similar to a set, but each element is associated with a score and sorted according to the score.
- Hash table: similar to an associative array, it stores the mapping relationship between fields and their corresponding values.
- HyperLogLog is used for probabilistic cardinality estimation to provide an approximate count of unique elements in a set.
- Geospatial indexing is used to store geographic location information and allows for calculating location relationships based on distance and coordinates.
