Redis Lua Scripting
Redis provides a way to extend its functionality on the server side by providing support for Lua Scripting. If you are coming from a relational database world, you already know that you can use Stored Procedures to extend functionality of your relational database. Now, you may also know that some people do frown upon using stored procedures, I think one could also think of using scripting in Redis sort of belongs in the same category. Nevertheless its still good to know what you can do with Redis and Lua.
In order to call Lua Script from Redis.StackExchange library one can use the LuaScript class or IServer.ScriptLoad(Async), IServer.ScriptExists(Async), IServer.ScriptFlush(Async), IDatabase.ScriptEvaluate, and IDatabaseAsync.ScriptEvaluateAsync methods.
Lets try to do something with the redis console first by using the redis-cli
