Hirelix

** WARNING: Broken software ahead... **

This is just an experiment on using hiredis on Elixir.

It's a kinda of an extension to exredis to get the speed of hiredis using erlang bindings for it (hierdis).

To use it you have to add it to your project dependencies.

{:exredis, github: "artemeff/exredis", tag: "0.1.0"},
{:hirelix, github: "ismaelga/hirelix"}

Then replace use Exredis with use Hirelix

defmodule Pi do
  use Exredis

  def get, do: start |> query ["GET", "Pi"]
  def set, do: start |> query ["SET", "Pi", "3.14"]
end

would become

defmodule Pi do
  use Hirelix

  def get, do: start |> query ["GET", "Pi"]
  def set, do: start |> query ["SET", "Pi", "3.14"]
end

Some benchmark results for the get command
