is Redis stable on Windows?

This afternoon, I used python script to test the performance of Redis on Windows. It worked normally when the number of threads was only 10, but some exceptions occured when the number of threads reached 100.

Exception message:

3 [main] redis-server 1448 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_A CCESS_VIOLATION 1394 [main] redis-server 1448 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trac开发者_运维百科e to redi s-server.exe.stackdump

Is Redis stable on Windows?

Redis is not officially supported on Windows. Some unofficial ports exist (such as the one you're using), but I believe stability is not guaranteed for these ports.

Redis prime dev Salvatore Sanfilippo ('antirez'), December 2011:

I don't think Redis running under win32 is a very important feature. It is cool to have a win32 port that can be used for testing, as we had before, and as we have in a different implementation thanks to the Microsoft patch, so developers using Windows can easily test Redis and develop their projects. But what is the point in providing a production quality win32 port?

Regardless, parties within Microsoft are still improving the Windows build

Here’s to the first release from MS Open Tech: Redis on Windows

We consider this not to be production ready code, but a solid code base to be shared with the community to solicit feedback: as such, while we pursue stabilization, we are keeping the older version as default/stable on the GitHub repository. To try out the new code, please go to the bksavecow branch.

The Redis download page now says "The Redis project does not directly support win32/win64, however we look at interest to projects trying to make a win32/win64 port that is separated from the main project...Currently both ports are not production quality but can be used for development purposes..."

We maintain a stable and production ready Windows port (native!) of Redis. The Developer Edition is free. Check out Memurai.

I use it in my projects till last month and didn't experience any problems yet.
