How to switch from hmset() to hset() in Redis?

I get the deprication warning, that Redis.hmset() is deprecated. Use Redis.hset() instead.

However hset() takes a third parameter and I can't figure out what name is supposed to be.

info = {'users': 10, "timestamp": datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')}
r.hmset("myKey", info)

The above works, but this requires a first parameter called name.

r.hset(name, "myKey", info)

Comparing the hset vs hmset in docs isn't clear to me.

I was using Redis.hmset() as following:

redis.hmset('myKey', info)

If you use Redis.hset() the following you will not get warning.

redis.hset('myKey', key=None, value=None, mapping=info)

With this usage, we will skip the single key & value adding step and redis.hset() will set all of the key and value mappings in info to myKey.

The problem is that you must specify within hset() that you are giving it the mapping. In your case:

r.hset("myKey", mapping=info)

instead of

r.hset("myKey", info)

hmset(name, mapping): given a hash name ("myKey") and a dictionary (info) set all key/value pairs.

hset(name, key=None, value=None, mapping=None): given a hash name ("myKey") a key and a value, set the key/value. Alternatively, given a dictionary (mapping=info) set all key/value pairs in mapping.

If this does not work, perhaps you need to update the library?

You may execute multiple hset for each field/value pair in hmset.

r.hset('myKey', 'users', 10)
r.hset('myKey', 'timestamp', datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
r.hset('myKey', 'yet-another-field', 'yet-another-value')
  • first parameter is the key name
  • second parameter is the field name
  • third parameter is the value of the field.
