After executing the SAVE command in Redis, the following occurs:
-
Snapshot Creation: Redis creates a snapshot of the current database state and saves it to disk. This snapshot is typically stored in a file named
dump.rdbin the Redis working directory. -
Blocking Behavior: The
SAVEcommand blocks the Redis server, meaning it cannot process any other commands until the save operation is complete. This ensures data consistency during the snapshot process. -
Output Confirmation: Once the save operation is successfully completed, Redis returns an
OKresponse, indicating that the snapshot has been created and saved. -
Data Durability: The data saved to disk can be used for recovery in case of a server restart or failure, ensuring that the data is not lost.
-
No Impact on Current Operations: While the server is blocked during the save operation, any commands issued by clients will be queued and processed once the save is complete.
Overall, the SAVE command is a crucial operation for ensuring data persistence in Redis.
