基本数据类型

Redis的数据类型如下：

Binary-safe strings: Strings in Redis are binary safe, meaning they have a known length not determined by any special terminating characters. Thus, you can store anything up to 512 megabytes in one string.
Lists: collections of string elements sorted according to the order of insertion. They are basically linked lists.
Sets: collections of unique, unsorted string elements.
Sorted sets: similar to Sets but where every string element is associated to a floating number value, called score. The elements are always taken sorted by their score, so unlike Sets it is possible to retrieve a range of elements
Hashes: which are maps composed of fields associated with values. Both the field and the value are strings.
Bit arrays(bitmaps): it is possible, using special commands, to handle String values like an array of bits: you can set and clear individual bits, count all the bits set to 1, find the first set or unset bit, and so forth.
HyperLogLogs: this is a probabilistic data structure which is used in order to estimate the cardinality of a set.
Streams: append-only collections of map-like entries that provide an abstract log data type.

Binary-safe string

Redis的字符串是字节序列。在Redis中字符串是二进制安全的，这意味着他们有一个已知的长度，是没有任何特殊字符终止决定的，所以可以存储任何东西，最大长度可达512兆。

> set mykey somevalue
OK
> get mykey
"somevalue"

虽然redis中value存储为字符串，但是有一些命令可以按照数字来处理，例如自增：

> set counter 100
OK
> incr counter
(integer) 101
> incr counter
(integer) 102
> incrby counter 50
(integer) 152

批量设置(atomic)：

> mset a 10 b 20 c 30
OK
> mget a b c
1) "10"
2) "20"
3) "30"
