In Redis, the BZMPOP
command is the blocking variant of the ZMPOP
command.
The BZMPOP
command works exactly like ZMPOP
when any of the sorted sets contain elements. It also works exactly like ZMPOP
when used inside a MULTI/EXEC
block. That is, it pops one or more elements from the first non-empty sorted set in the provided list of keys.
However, if all of the specified sorted sets are empty, then BZMPOP
will block the connection until another client adds members to one of the keys or until the specified timeout elapses. It’s possible to block the connection indefinitely by using a timeout of zero.
