Redis “Namespace”

Lets start with simplest commands SET/GET to show concept of name space in Redis. You see ‘ns1:key1’ separated by colon and can be hierarchical.

127.0.0.1:6379> set 'ns1:key1' 'val1'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> set 'ns1:key2' 'val2'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> get 'ns1:key1'
"val1"
127.0.0.1:6379> get 'ns1:key2'
"val2"
127.0.0.1:6379> set 'ns1:l1:key1' 'val1_ns1_l1'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> set 'ns1:l1:key2' 'val2_ns1_l1'
OK

From Redis RDB (Free on Linux), “namespaces” are represented by folders.
