Implementing Distributed Locking with Redis and IDistributedLock
Implementing Distributed Locking with Redis and IDistributedLock Distributed locking is a critical feature for ensuring resource safety in distributed applications. Here’s how you can implement a distributed lock using the IDistributedLock interface and Redis as the backing store, leveraging the StackExchange.Redis library. Step 1: Implement the IDistributedLock Interface Let’s start by creating the RedisDistributedLock class to implement the IDistributedLock interface: using StackExchange.Redis; using System; using System.Threading.Tasks; public class RedisDistributedLock : IDistributedLock { private readonly IDatabase _database; private readonly string _lockKey; private string _lockToken; public RedisDistributedLock(IDatabase database, string lockKey) { _database = database; _lockKey = lockKey; _lockToken = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); } public async Task<bool> AcquireLockAsync(string resource, TimeSpan leaseTime) { _lockToken = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); return await _database.StringSetAsync(resource, _lockToken, leaseTime, When.NotExists); } public async Task RenewLockAsync(TimeSpan leaseTime) { if (!await _database.StringGetAsync(_lockKey).ConfigureAwait(false).Equals(_lockToken)) { throw new InvalidOperationException("Cannot renew a lock that is not held."); } await _database.KeyExpireAsync(_lockKey, leaseTime); } public async Task ReleaseLockAsync() { var token = await _database.StringGetAsync(_lockKey); if (token == _lockToken) { await _database.KeyDeleteAsync(_lockKey); } } public void Dispose() { ReleaseLockAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult(); } } Step 2: Create a Sample Console Application Next, build a console application to demonstrate the functionality of the RedisDistributedLock: ...
