I have a data model like this:
Fields:
- counter number (e.g. 00888, 00777, 00123 etc)
- counter code (e.g. XA, XD, ZA, SI etc)
- start date (e.g. 2017-12-31 ...)
- end date (e.g. 2017-12-31 ...)
- Other counter date (e.g. xxxxx)
Current Datastructure organization is like this (root and multiple child format):
counter_num + counter_code
---> start_date + end_date --> xxxxxxxx
---> start_date + end_date --> xxxxxxxx
---> start_date + end_date --> xxxxxxxx
Example:
00888 + XA
---> Jan 10 + Jan 20 --> xxxxxxxx
---> Jan 21 + Jan 31 --> xxxxxxxx
---> Feb 01 + Dec 31 --> xxxxxxxx
00888 + ZI
---> Jan 09 + Feb 24 --> xxxxxxxx
---> Feb 25 + Dec 31 --> xxxxxxxx
00777 + XA
---> Jan 09 + Feb 24 --> xxxxxxxx
---> Feb 25 + Dec 31 --> xxxxxxxx
Today the retrieval happens in 2 ways:
//Fetch unique counter data using all the composite keys
counter_number + counter_code + date (start_date <= date <= end_date)
//Fetch all the counter codes and corresponding data matching the below conditions
counter_number + date (start_date <= date <= end_date)
What's the best way to model this in redis as I need to cache some of the frequently hit data. I feel sorted sets should do this somehow, but unable to model it.
UPDATE:
Just to remove the confusion, the ask here is not for an SQL "BETWEEN" like query. 'Coz I don't know what the start_date and end_date values are. Think they are just column names.
What I don't want is
SELECT * FROM redis_db
WHERE counter_num AND
date_value BETWEEN start_date AND end_date
What I want is
SELECT * FROM redis_db
WHERE counter_num AND
start_date <= specifc_date AND end_date >= specific_date
NOTE: The requirement is pretty much close to 2D indexing of what is proposed in Redis multi-dimensional indexing document
https://redis.io/topics/indexes#multi-dimensional-indexes
I understood the concept but unable to digest the implementation detail that is given.
