Bulk store a dictionary in redis without iteration

I have a large dictionary and I would like to store it in redis. I can do this by iterating through it but this will take a long time.

for k,v in my_dict.iteritems():
    r.hset('my_dict', k, v)

Is there a way to bulk store it (similar to how I can do it in Mongodb, simply by uploading the dictionary)?

AFAIK, the iteration is mandatory. That said, you could improve on the above with either or both of the following "tricks":

  • Use pipelining - this is pretty well documented, but the gist is creating a pipeline object with r.pipeline(), batching some commands and then calling the object's execute() method.
  • Use variadic commands - you can call r.hmset() with (iterated) chunks of your dictionary.
