Redis Command: HSET

by

Summary

Command NameHSET
UsageSet hash field(s)
Group hash
ACL Category@write
@hash
@fast
Time ComplexityO(N)
FlagWRITE
DENYOOM
FAST
Arity-4

Notes

  • Time complexity of this command is O(N), where N is the number of filed/value. If a single field/value is being set then the complexity is O(1).

Signature

HSET <key> <field> <value> [ <field> <value> ... ]

Usage

Create a new hash and set fields, or change the existing value of field(s) of a hash.

Notes

  • If the key does not exist then it will be created.
  • If the field does not exist then it will be created. And if the field exists then the value will be overwritten.

Arguments

ParameterGroupDescriptionNameTypeMultiple
<key>Name of the key of the hashkeykey
<field>data[block]Name of the fieldfieldstringTrue
<value>data[block]Value for the fieldvaluestringTrue

Return Value

Return valueCase for the return valueType
Number of new fieldsOn successful execution of the commandinteger
errorIf applied on wrong data typeerror

Notes

  • On success, the command returns the number of fields created by that command. If some fields are updated, then those are not included in the resulting number.
  • If the command is applied to a key that is not a hash, then the following error is returned-
    (error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value

Examples

Here are a few examples of the HSET command usage-

# Redis HSET command examples

# Set "street" field of hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hset customer:103:address street "965 Lakeville St"
(integer) 1

# Check hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hgetall customer:103:address
1) "street"
2) "965 Lakeville St"

# Set multiple fields of the hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hset customer:103:address city Petaluma state California zip 94952 country "United States"
(integer) 4

# Check hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hgetall customer:103:address
 1) "street"
 2) "965 Lakeville St"
 3) "city"
 4) "Petaluma"
 5) "state"
 6) "California"
 7) "zip"
 8) "94952"
 9) "country"
10) "United States"

# Set new fields to hash, also update some existing fields
127.0.0.1:6379> hset customer:103:address city hayward  zip 94566 phone (503)-445-4454
(integer) 1

# Check hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hgetall customer:103:address
 1) "street"
 2) "965 Lakeville St"
 3) "city"
 4) "hayward"
 5) "state"
 6) "California"
 7) "zip"
 8) "94566"
 9) "country"
10) "United States"
11) "phone"
12) "(503)-445-4454"

# Try to set the same field multiple times
# The later provided value is saved
127.0.0.1:6379> hset customer:103:address zip 94555 zip 94599
(integer) 0

# Check set value
127.0.0.1:6379> hgetall customer:103:address
 1) "street"
 2) "965 Lakeville St"
 3) "city"
 4) "hayward"
 5) "state"
 6) "California"
 7) "zip"
 8) "94599"
 9) "country"
10) "United States"
11) "phone"
12) "(503)-445-4454"

# Get single field of hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hget customer:103:address phone
"(503)-445-4454"

# Get multiple fields of hash
127.0.0.1:6379> hmget customer:103:address zip phone country
1) "94599"
2) "(503)-445-4454"
3) "United States"

# Set a string key
127.0.0.1:6379> set bigboxstr "some string value here"
OK

# Try to apply HSET on the string data type
# We get an error
127.0.0.1:6379> hset bigboxstr testfield "test val"
(error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value

Notes

  • If the same field of a hash is set multiple time in the same HSET command, then the value provided later is saved to the field.

Notes

  • Use the function “hSet” of node-redis.
  • Signature of the method-
    function hSet(...[key, value, fieldValue]: SingleFieldArguments | MultipleFieldsArguments)
  • Other related types are defined as-
    type SingleFieldArguments = [...generic: GenericArguments, field: Types, value: Types];
    type MultipleFieldsArguments = [...generic: GenericArguments, value: HSETObject | HSETMap | HSETTuples];

Notes

  • Use method “hset” from the redis-rb.
  • Signature of the method is-
    # @param [String] key
    # @param [Array<String> | Hash<String, String>] attrs array or hash of fields and values
    # @return [Integer] The number of fields that were added to the hash
    def hset(key, *attrs)

    So we can use the method in the following ways-
    redis.hset("hash", "field1", "value1", "field2", "value2")
    redis.hset("hash", { "field1" => "value1", "field2" => "value2" })
