💖 CLIENT-NO-TOUCH 💖

okay bestie so this is the Valkey Command Manual page for client-no-touch, and it's genuinely one of the most lowkey-useful little gremlins in the whole CLIENT family, no cap. it controls whether the commands a client sends actually mess with the LRU/LFU of the keys they touch. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CLIENT NO-TOUCH <ON | OFF>

like. two options. ON or OFF. pick one, queen. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the CLIENT NO-TOUCH command controls whether commands sent by the client will alter the LRU/LFU of the keys they access. that's the whole assignment. 🦋

here's the tea, both ways:

  • when turned on, the current client will not change LFU/LRU stats, unless it sends the valkey-touch(7) TOUCH command. so like, it's incognito mode for your key-access stats, except TOUCH still gets through because TOUCH is that girl. 👑
  • when turned off, the client touches LFU/LRU stats just as a normal client. back to being a regular citizen of the server. 🫶
not me needing to spell out LRU vs LFU for the tenth time — LRU = least recently used, LFU = least frequently used. both are eviction vibes. the command itself does not care which one your server is running, it just stops your client from nudging either of them. 🙈

💌 REPLY 💌

valkey-protocol(7) Simple string reply: OK.

just OK. the most emotionally stable reply in the entire protocol. 😭

⭐ COMPLEXITY ⭐

O(1)

constant time, baby. it's giving effortless. it's giving main character energy with zero performance guilt. 🔥

🎀 ACL CATEGORIES 🎀

  • @connection
  • @slow

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

  • Available since: 7.2.0

so if you're on anything older than that, this command is not going to answer you, and that's not a personal attack, it's just a version thing. 💀
