What are CLIENT commands in Redis?
Answer
Redis provides a family of CLIENT commands for managing client connections. CLIENT LIST returns information about all connected clients (ID, address, name, command, age, idle time, flags, memory usage) — essential for debugging connection leaks or finding rogue long-running commands. CLIENT SETNAME name assigns a human-readable name to the current connection, which appears in CLIENT LIST output and makes monitoring easier. CLIENT KILL terminates a specific client connection by ID or address. CLIENT PAUSE milliseconds temporarily stops processing client commands, useful during maintenance. CLIENT NO-EVICT ON protects a connection from being killed when Redis is under memory pressure and killing idle clients. CLIENT GETNAME returns the current connection's name.
