Recover from data losing?

[kuno]

For some strange reasons, I lost some data yesterday.

Fortunately, I have some old redis dump files. I has dumped the dump file into json format, and I saw some patterns in the names keys, such: 'stdnet.xxx.xxx:obj', 'stdnet.xxx.xxx:id', 'stdnet.xxx.xxx:idx'.

Can you explain these low level patters for me? And I wandering Is there a way I can find back some lost data by merge the current dump file with old dump files?

thanks --kuno

Also, I fount out that if one particular object was lost, the other objects that associated to it with a Foreignkey relationship will also lost silently. Can I change this behavior?

Some information are provided here.

I'll try to improve the docs.

• The basekey for instances is built by concatenating prefix with app_label and model_name. The prefix is specified in the connection string:

  redis://localhost:8080?db=6&prefix=myprefix.

  by default it i set to stdnet.

• The app_label is set to the python module name holding the model. So if your model is in the pippo.py module, the app_name is pippo. You can override this behaviour by setting the Meta.app_model class in your model.
• The model name is the class name of your model (lower case).
