Pub Sub (4.0)

lettuce provides support for publish/subscribe connections. The connection is notified on message/subscribed/unsubscribed events after subscribing to channels or patterns. Sync, async and reactive API's are available to operate on the connection.

Subscribing

A connection can notify multiple listeners that implement RedisPubSubListener (lettuce provides a RedisPubSubAdapter for convenience). It does not matter over which API (sync, async or reactive) the listener registers. All listener registrations are kept within the StatefulRedisPubSubConnection.

Synchronous example

StatefulRedisPubSubConnection<String, String> connection = client.connectPubSub()
connection.addListener(new RedisPubSubListener<String, String>() { ... })

RedisPubSubCommands<String, String> sync = connection.sync();
sync.subscribe("channel");

Asynchronous example

StatefulRedisPubSubConnection<String, String> connection = client.connectPubSub()
connection.addListener(new RedisPubSubListener<String, String>() { ... })

RedisPubSubAsyncCommands<String, String> async = connection.async();
RedisFuture<Void> future = async.subscribe("channel");

Reactive API

The reactive API provides two hot Observables to listen on ChannelMessages and PatternMessages. The Observables receive all inbound messages. You can do filtering using the observable chain if you need to filter out the interesting ones, The Observable stops triggering events when the subscriber unsubscribes from it.

StatefulRedisPubSubConnection<String, String> connection = client.connectPubSub()

RedisPubSubReactiveCommands<String, String> reactive = connection.reactive();
reactive.subscribe("channel").subscribe();

reactive.observePatterns().doOnNext(patternMessage -> {...}).subscribe()
