RediSearch 1.6 Boosts Performance Up to 64%

The latest version of RediSearch, 1.6, introduces significant improvements in performance compared to its predecessor, 1.4. This is achieved through refactoring the original code and adding new features such as aliasing, a low-level API, and improved query validation. Additionally, Fork garbage collection has been made the default module. The performance boost leads to better user experience with applications becoming more reactive than ever before during search operations. To measure this improvement, a full-text search benchmark (FTSB) was created which allows developers, system architects, and DevOps practitioners to find the best search engine for their workloads. RediSearch 1.6 increased simple full-text search throughput by up to 63% while cutting latency (q50) by up to 64%. For aggregate queries, throughput increased from 15% to 64%. The FTSB also helped in monitoring performance between different versions of RediSearch and eliminating bottlenecks.
