Request for example of commands for all RESP3 types

[mgravell]

I'm currently implementing RESP3 in a library; I'm paranoid - I don't trust any code that I haven't seen working; it would really help if there were well-known ways of reproducing all of the expected types using vanilla redis; for example:

• verbatim string: latency doctor
• map: hgetall
• set: smembers
• push: pub/sub

but: I have not yet managed to confirm:

• boolean (tried: sismember, returns integer)
• double (tried: incrbyfloat, returns bulk string)
• blob error
• big integer
• attribute metadata
• streamed bulk-string types
• streamed aggregates

Are there inbuilt APIs that expose these remaining gaps?

@mgravell for simple sanity checks, I recommend the built-in DEBUG PROTOCOL (https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/src/debug.c#L442). Also, mind the new config that disables debug by default ;)

[mgravell]

That's helpful. Anything that does string/array streaming @itamarhaber ?

[itamarhaber]

Nope - although these are in the spec, they were never implemented in Redis to this point.

[mgravell]

That's brilliant, thanks. Possibly worth a mention of debug protocol on the spec page, but: ta

I'm so dumb I should be put in a home. Use Lua Luke:

EVAL "return { double = 6.379e-5 }" 0
