When issuing a redis command which expects a multi-bulk reply but the key does not exist, one may receive the following: +OK *0
The redis docs say "If the specified key does not exist, the key is considered to hold an empty list and the value 0 is sent as multi bulk count." It seems like it is proper to emit a 'data' event in a client library with the 'empty list' redis implies so that consuming code can use it in a pipeline and let the consumer handle the `empty list` there. This came from looking at 'https://github.com/tblobaum/redis-stream' where this sort of reply drops the data, thus breaking the pipeline. This leads me to the greater question on whether or not to emit 'data' for a empty value. My gut says low level libs like these _should_ emit the event with empty data but I wonder what other authors are preferring. Any opinions would be appreciated on this. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
