Suggestions for Using Redigo Connection Pool
Last updated: 2024-11-05 10:22:22
Redigo Official Connection Pool is designed to take connections only from the front of the queue. Placing a used connection back at the front of the line results in the same connection being consistently used, causing an uneven load distribution across all connections. To address this, it is recommended to modify the pool.go file in the source code and add a pushBack method to add used connections to the end of the queue.

Add pushBack sample code

// idle connect push list back
func (l *idleList) pushBack(pc *poolConn) {

if l.count == 0 {
l.front = pc
l.back = pc
pc.prev = nil
pc.next = nil
} else {
pc.prev = l.back
l.back.next = pc
l.back = pc
pc.next = nil
}

l.count++
}

// idle connection in the pool method, True: pushBack, False: pushFront, default False
Lifo bool

// fix add pushBack
if p.Lifo == true {
p.idle.pushBack(pc)
} else {
p.idle.pushFront(pc)
}

// Pool maintains a pool of connections. The application calls the Get method

// return the connection's resources to the pool.
//
// The following example shows how to use a pool in a web application. The
// application creates a pool at application startup and makes it available to
// request handlers using a package level variable. The pool configuration used
// here is an example, not a recommendation.
//
// func newPool(addr string) *redis.Pool {
// return &redis.Pool{
// MaxIdle: 3,
// IdleTimeout: 240 * time.Second
// // Dial or DialContext must be set. When both are set, DialContext takes precedence over Dial.
// Dial: func () (redis.Conn, error) { return redis.Dial("tcp", addr) },
// }

// pool *redis.Pool
// redisServer = flag.String("redisServer", ":6379", "")
// )

// func main() {
// flag.Parse()
// pool = newPool(*redisServer)
// ...
// }
//
// A request handler gets a connection from the pool and closes the connection
// when the handler is done:
//
func GetFaceIdToken(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// conn := pool.Get()
// defer conn.Close()
// ...
// }
//
// Use the Dial function to authenticate connections with the AUTH command or
// select a database with the SELECT command:
//
// pool := &redis.Pool{
// // Other pool configuration not shown in this example.
// Dial: func () (redis.Conn, error) {
// c, err := redis.Dial("tcp", server)
// if err != nil {
// return nil, err

// before the connection is returned to the application. This example PINGs
// connections that have been idle more than a minute:
