CLIENT

CLIENT is a container command. Its subcommands identify and configure the current connection, list and close other connections, and pause command processing. CLIENT HELP lists the subcommands.

Subcommands

Subcommand	What it does
CLIENT ID	The current connection’s id.
CLIENT INFO	One line describing the current connection.
CLIENT LIST	One line per client connection, optionally filtered.
CLIENT SETNAME	Name the current connection.
CLIENT GETNAME	The current connection’s name.
CLIENT SETINFO	Record the client library’s name and version.
CLIENT KILL	Close connections by address or by filters.
CLIENT PAUSE	Hold all commands, or only writes, for a while.
CLIENT UNPAUSE	End a pause early.
CLIENT UNBLOCK	End another connection’s blocking command.
CLIENT REPLY	Turn replies to the current connection off, on, or skip one.
CLIENT NO-EVICT	Exempt the current connection from eviction when clients hold more than maxmemory-clients.
CLIENT NO-TOUCH	Read keys without updating their last access time.
CLIENT TRACKING	Turn client-side caching on or off: HotKV tells the connection when a key it read changes.
CLIENT TRACKINGINFO	The client-side caching state of the current connection.
CLIENT CACHING	Choose whether the keys of the next command are tracked, in OPTIN or OPTOUT mode.
CLIENT GETREDIR	The connection the invalidations go to.

An unknown subcommand gets ERR unknown subcommand '<name>'. Try CLIENT HELP., and a wrong number of arguments gets ERR wrong number of arguments for 'client|<subcommand>' command.

Compatibility

HotKV has the CLIENT subcommands of Redis 7, including server-assisted client-side caching (TRACKING, TRACKINGINFO, CACHING and GETREDIR). See client-side caching. Clients can be evicted when they hold more than maxmemory-clients; see memory and eviction.
