MGET returns the values of all the given keys, in the order you named them. A key that does not exist, or that holds a value that is not a string, gives a nil in its place instead of an error. All keys are read at the same moment, so an MSET running at the same time is seen either whole or not at all.

In a cluster, all keys must hash to the same slot.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”
Case RESP2 RESP3
