Large values

Transferring a 500MB file

Transferring a 500MB file with kotlin-redis (LargeValueStreamingTest) and with Jedis 8.0.1 (JedisLargeValueTest). Median of 3 runs on an Apple M5 Pro, Redis redis:8-alpine in a local Docker container. The times include reading the value from a file on disk (upload) and writing it to a file (download).

Approach Library Upload Download Note
SET / GET of the whole value kotlin-redis 2256 ms 185 ms
Jedis 2370 ms 304 ms Requires 1GB heap
SETRANGE / GETRANGE in 16KB chunks kotlin-redis 7620 ms 4537 ms
Jedis 7286 ms 4528 ms
  • Whole file: kotlin-redis is slightly faster for upload and about 40% faster for download.
  • 16KB chunks: both libraries perform about the same.
