1.1 Redis and threads

The connection between the redis client and server uses a stream pair. Although SWI-Prolog stream I/O is thread-safe, having multiple threads using this same connection will mixup writes and their replies.

At the moment, the following locking is in place.

• Connections created using redis_connect/3 are not locked. This implies the connection handle may be used from a single thread only, or redis/3 requests must be protected using with_mutex/2.
• Redis/3 request using a server name established using redis_server/3 are locked using a mutex with the same name as the server name.
