Contributing new ValKey commands

A Valkey command can either have a standalone or cluster implementation which is dependent on their specifications.

  • A node is an instance of a Valkey server, and a valkey cluster is composed of multiple nodes working in tandem.
  • A cluster command will require a note to indicate a node will follow a specific routing. Refer to https://valkey.io/docs/topics/cluster-spec for more details on how hash slots work for cluster commands.

When you start implementing a new command, check the command_request.proto and request_type.rs files to see whether the command has already been implemented in another language such as Python or Node.js.

Standalone and cluster clients both extend BaseClient.java and implement methods from the interfaces listed in java/client/src/main/java/glide/api/commands. The return types of these methods are in the form of a CompletableFuture, which fulfill the purpose of the asynchronous features of the program.
