18. Redis Data Store

Note

GeoMesa currently supports Redis versions 5.0 and later.

The GeoMesa Redis Data Store is an implementation of the GeoTools DataStore interface that is backed by Redis. It is found in the geomesa-redis directory of the GeoMesa source distribution.

Redis is an open source, in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker.

Because Redis keeps everything in memory, it is extremely fast. However, it is generally not feasible to use for very large data sets due to the hardware requirements. The Redis Data Store is a good choice for storing the current state of a streaming set of features, or as part of a tiered storage architecture for high access data, but not necessarily for long-term historical data.

To get started with the Redis Data Store, try the GeoMesa Redis Quick Start tutorial.
