redis_mock_data_generator

{Syntax and interpreter ver. 3}

Overview

Implementation of the mock data generator for Redis (key–value store).

Goals

Because It's a dull thing to hammer test data into a freshly installed Radish with your hands, this script was written. Long live automation!

Usage

After running the script:

$ python3 redis_mock_data_generator.py

A text file will be created at the root of the directory 'redis_mock_data_file.txt'. The file will contain random datasets, based on the standard (built-in) Redis (string, list, set, zset, hash) data types, for streaming key-value storage filling.

To fill the storage with data, use the following construction:

• linux

  $ cat redis_mock_data_file.txt | redis-cli --pipe

• windows

  $ type redis_mock_data_file.txt | redis-cli --pipe

p.s. All string values in the data are replaced by their hashes (implemented using the function 'hashlib.sha512()' standard python library).
