      New commands: BITOP and BITCOUNT. · 4a789dec
      antirez authored
      The motivation for this new commands is to be search in the usage of
      Redis for real time statistics. See the article "Fast real time metrics
      using Redis".
      
      http://blog.getspool.com/2011/11/29/fast-easy-realtime-metrics-using-redis-bitmaps/
      
      In general Redis strings when used as bitmaps using the SETBIT/GETBIT
      command provide a very space-efficient and fast way to store statistics.
      For instance in a web application with users, every user can be
      associated with a key that shows every day in which the user visited the
      web service. This information can be really valuable to extract user
      behaviour information.
      
      With Redis bitmaps doing this is very simple just saying that a given
      day is 0 (the data the service was put online) and all the next days are
      1, 2, 3, and so forth. So with SETBIT it is possible to set the bit
      corresponding to the current day every time the user visits the site.
      
      It is possible to take the count of the bit sets on the run, this is
      extremely easy using a Lua script. However a fast bit count native
      operation can be useful, especially if it can operate on ranges, or when
      the string is small like in the case of days (even if you consider many
      years it is still extremely little data).
      
      For this reason BITOP was introduced. The command counts the number of
      bits set to 1 in a string, with optional range:
      
      BITCOUNT key [start end]
      
      The start/end parameters are similar to GETRANGE. If omitted the whole
      string is tested.
      
      Population counting is more useful when bit-level operations like AND,
      OR and XOR are avaialble. For instance I can test multiple users to see
      the number of days three users visited the site at the same time. To do
      this we can take the AND of all the bitmaps, and then count the set bits.
      
      For this reason the BITOP command was introduced:
      
      BITOP [AND|OR|XOR|NOT] dest_key src_key1 src_key2 src_key3 ... src_keyN
      
      In the special case of NOT (that inverts the bits) only one source key
      can be passed.
      
      The judicious use of BITCOUNT and BITOP combined can lead to interesting
      use cases with very space efficient representation of data.
      
      The implementation provided is still not tested and optimized for speed,
      next commits will introduce unit tests. Later the implementation will be
      profiled to see if it is possible to gain an important amount of speed
      without making the code much more complex.

      Initial support for key expire times with millisecond resolution. RDB version... · 7dcc10b6
      antirez authored
      Initial support for key expire times with millisecond resolution. RDB version is now 3, new opcoded added for high resolution times. Redis is still able to correctly load RDB version 2. Tests passing but still a work in progress. API to specify milliseconds expires still missing, but the precision of normal expires is now already improved and working.
