A Redis mock data publisher using the java client Jedis

Rediblaster

Rediblaster is a small tool built for publishing mock data into a local Redis instance for other services, tests, and experimentation. It utilizes Jedis as the java Redis client.

The POJO being inserted is an Employee object.

public class Employee {

    private final int id;
    private final String firstName;
    private final String lastName;
    private final String email;
    private final String occupation;
    private final int salary;

    ...
}

Rediblaster will create ids from 0 to n, where n is the number of employees to be generated (this is defined as a static var in Main.java). For each id, an employee object with random values for each field will be created, converted to a json string via a Jackson ObjectMapper, and pushed to Redis. the key/value will be id:Employee.

The fields are generated as such:

• firstName: 5 character string of random letters (lowercase)
• lastName: 8 character string of random letters (lowercase)
• email: {firstName}.{lastName}@email.com
• occupation: one of 4 strings: Full Stack Developer, Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, Manager
• salary: random integer between 50,000 and 250,000

Key: "124"
Value: "{\"id\":124,\"firstName\":\"oyhwj\",\"lastName\":\"eimuzbzw\",\"email\":\"[email protected]\",\"occupation\":\"Backend Developer\",\"salary\":213004}"

In order to use Rediblaster, you must first have Redis setup locally. Download the official released package here, or clone the source code from github and run MAKE. Definitely recommend the latter option as Redis is extremely well written IMO. Doesn't hurt to review some C.
