Redis View Counters 2.4.1

[Xon]

Xon submitted a new resource:

Redis View Counters - Use redis for view counters rather than MySQL

Moves some view counters to use Redis-based increment counters rather than scratch tables in MySQL. Redis provides atomic get & del when pushing view counts totals into the database.

Note;

• Currently only handles thread or attachment views.
• There is an effective limit of ~100000 threads that can be updated per 'Update View Counters' cron task run.

Hi @Xon ! I have an issue with this addon, I started to get a weird behaviour, threads and views counters are not working, and somehow most of my threads views are always one view count above the replies counter, that is very odd.
When I disable this addon, after some hours passes the views starts to count okay again.
What could it be?

 

[Xon]

Do you have Redis setup? Are there any errors in the admincp?

 

[Deleted member 134868]

No errors at all, and yes of course, I had redis setup correctly and it could be checked at redis info.
Also my bad, the error was not gone when disabling Redis View Counters, I had to disable your Redis Cache addon completely and now the counts are starting to be normal.

Also I noticed "Users Active" was broken from a start with this, as soon as I disabled the addon it was okay again too.

 

[Xon]

This add-on does should not interact with the 'users active' stat at all.

I should have time to look at this in the next few days

I hope I can use this without Redis Cache add-on.
As XF 2.1 already support redis by default.

XF2.0 has built-in redis support, but this add-on still depends on my Redis Cache add-on. This is unlikely to change in the near future

Seems like this could be bundled into the main Redis Cache addon?

I still don't understand what this addon for? What makes it useful ? Can you please explain more

 

[Xon]

Redis has very low overhead for a simple variable increment instead of the database for recording view counts, which cause lots of churn on a frequently accessed table

 

[maxicep]

Still compatible with xenforo 2.2 ? @Xon

 

[Xon]

Yes, the "Compatible XF 2.x versions" was updated without doing a separate release
