rembInstall and upgrade modules
Several modules that provide additional Redis capabilities, such as search and query, JSON, time series, and probabilistic data structures, come packaged with Redis Software. As of version 8.0, Redis Software includes multiple feature sets, compatible with different Redis database versions.
However, if you want to use additional modules or upgrade a module to a more recent version, you need to:
- Install a module package on the cluster.
- Enable a module for a new database or upgrade a module in an existing database.
Automatically enabled capabilities in Redis 8
Databases created with or upgraded to Redis version 8 or later automatically enable the capabilities (modules) bundled with Redis Software as follows:
Database type
Automatically enabled capabilities
RAM-only
Search and query
JSON
Time series
Probabilistic
Flash-enabled (Redis Flex)
- Upgrading existing Active-Active databases to Redis version 8 does not automatically enable these capabilities. Only new Active-Active databases created with Redis version 8 enable these capabilities by default.
