Redis ZREMRANGEBYLEX Command Explained

In Redis, the ZREMRANGEBYLEX command enables us to use a lexicographical range to remove members from a sorted set. That is, we can specify that all members between a given lexicographical range are removed.

This relies on all members having the same score (which forces lexicographical ordering).

Redis ZREVRANGE Replacement

Starting with Redis 6.2.0, the ZRANGE command added the REV, BYSCORE, BYLEX and LIMIT options. The addition of the first three means that the ZRANGE command can now do what the ZREVRANGE, ZRANGEBYSCORE, ZREVRANGEBYSCORE, ZRANGEBYLEX and ZREVRANGEBYLEX commands can do.

As a result, those commands are now deprecated (as of Redis 6.2.0).

Therefore, we should no longer use the ZREVRANGE command when we need to return a sorted set in descending order. Instead, we should use the ZRANGE command with the REV argument.

Redis BZMPOP Command Explained

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.
