My Redis instance crash due to the server being OOM. First, Redis rejected new entries and then it simply crashed. Nothing major was lost, but almost the entire index vanished.
I don’t blame anyone but myself, I’m just wondering if this is to be expected?
The schema was still there and it took a few minutes to reindex by dropping every schema and adding them back (is there a better way to do that by the way?).
This video from RedisConf talks about how to most effectively configure Redis for a few high-usage scenarios. The very first scenario discussed is on setting maxmemory.
