Redis ZINTERSTORE Command Explained

In Redis, the ZINTERSTORE command computes the intersection of the specified sorted sets and stores the result in the specified key. It works the same as the ZINTER command, except that it stores the result instead of returning it.

If the destination key already exists, it’s overwritten.

Redis ZDIFFSTORE Command Explained

In Redis, the ZDIFFSTORE command computes the difference between the first and all successive input sorted sets and stores the result in the specified key.

ZDIFFSTORE works in the same way as the ZDIFF command, except that it stores the result instead of returning it (ZDIFF returns the result instead of storing it in a new key).

We can specify whether or not to return only distinct elements or to allow duplicates. We can also specify whether or not to include the scores of each element in the result.

Redis ZRANGEBYSCORE Replacement

Starting with Redis 6.2.0, the ZRANGE command added the REV, BYSCORE, BYLEX and LIMIT options. The addition of the first three options 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 ZRANGEBYSCORE command when we need to return a sorted set by score. Instead, we should use the ZRANGE command with the BYSCORE argument.
