Summary of ChangesHello @lvca, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request significantly enhances the Redis protocol integration with ArcadeDB by allowing Redis commands to interact with the database's global variables. This change introduces a 'transient' storage mechanism for Redis, where data stored via certain commands (like SET, GET, and H-commands in transient mode) is persisted within the database's global variables and is accessible via both Redis and SQL interfaces. It also adds configuration options and the Highlights

Code Review
This pull request introduces a significant feature by enabling Redis commands to interact with a database's transient globalVariables. The changes are extensive, touching the Redis network executor, the query engine, and adding a new global configuration. The implementation correctly distinguishes between persistent and transient command modes based on command arguments. I've identified a few areas for improvement, mainly concerning atomicity for multi-key operations and some opportunities for code clarification and simplification. The addition of comprehensive tests is a great plus.

The hDel implementation for transient mode is not atomic when deleting multiple keys. The Redis HDEL command is specified to be atomic. If an error occurs midway, the database could be left in a partially updated state. The operation should be wrapped in a transaction to ensure atomicity, similar to how persistent operations are handled.
Additionally, the current implementation for deleting a single key has a potential race condition:
if (database.getGlobalVariable(key) != null) {
database.setGlobalVariable(key, null);
++deleted;
}Between the check and the deletion, another thread could modify the variable. You can make this atomic and more efficient by using the return value of setGlobalVariable, which returns the previous value.

The hSet implementation for transient mode is not atomic when setting multiple key-value pairs. The Redis HSET command is specified to be atomic for multiple fields. If an error occurs midway (e.g., a JSON object is malformed or lacks an 'id'), the database could be left in a partially updated state. The persistent mode implementation correctly uses a transaction. For consistency and correctness, the transient mode operation should also be wrapped in a transaction.

The getDel method is not atomic. It first gets the value and then sets it to null. This creates a race condition where another thread could modify the variable between the getGlobalVariable and setGlobalVariable calls.
The DatabaseInternal.setGlobalVariable method is atomic and returns the previous value. You can simplify this method and make it atomic by directly calling setGlobalVariable(key, null) and returning its result.

| final Object value = database.getGlobalVariable(key); | |
| database.setGlobalVariable(key, null); // Setting to null removes the variable | |
| return value; | |
| final String key = parts.get(1); | |
| return database.setGlobalVariable(key, null); |

The method resolveKeyAndDatabase returns an Object[], which is not type-safe and requires casting at call sites. This can lead to ClassCastException at runtime if the array structure is changed. For better maintainability and type safety, consider using a dedicated private static class or a record to encapsulate the resolved key and database.
For example:
private record ResolvedKey(String key, DatabaseInternal database) {}
private ResolvedKey resolveKeyAndDatabase(final String key) { ... }This would make the code in getVariable, setVariable, etc., cleaner and safer by avoiding casts.

The catch block for Exception is empty. While the comment explains the fallback logic, swallowing exceptions without logging can make debugging difficult. If a database name is misspelled in a key prefix, it will fail silently. Consider adding a log message at a FINE or DEBUG level to record when this fallback occurs. Also, catching a more specific exception would be safer than the generic Exception.
} catch (final Exception e) {
LogManager.instance().log(this, Level.FINE, "Could not resolve database ''{0}'' from key ''{1}''. Treating as a regular key. Error: {2}", e, dbName, key);
// Not a valid database prefix, treat as regular key

The logic in getRecord has been changed to return null for non-RID keys to signal a transient operation. This is an implicit contract that makes the code harder to understand and maintain, as callers like hGet and hExists must be aware of this and implement special logic. The previous implementation threw an exception, which was more explicit.
Consider reverting this part to its original behavior of throwing an exception for non-RID keys. The calling methods (hGet, hExists) already correctly distinguish between transient and persistent modes before calling getRecord, so this change would make getRecord's behavior more predictable and robust.
} else {
throw new RedisException("Retrieving a record by RID, the key must be as #<bucket-id>:<bucket-position>. Example: #13:432");
}

Pull Request Review: Redis Access to Transient Database's Global VariablesI've reviewed PR #3248 which adds Redis access to transient database's global variables. Overall, this is a well-structured enhancement with comprehensive test coverage. Here are my findings: ✅ Strengths
🔍 Issues & Concerns1. Error Handling - Missing Database Check (Critical)In select() method at RedisNetworkExecutor.java:540 - If the database doesn't exist, server.getDatabase() will throw an exception that's not caught here, but it should return a proper Redis error message. Recommendation: Add try-catch similar to the constructor for graceful error handling. 2. Inconsistent Null Handling (Medium)In resolveKeyAndDatabase() at line 554, when a database prefix is found but invalid, it silently treats it as a regular key. This could hide errors. Recommendation: Consider logging this case or returning an error to help users debug issues. 3. Transaction Safety for Transient Operations (Medium)In hSet() transient mode at line 447, multiple global variables are set without transaction wrapping. If one JSON object is invalid, some variables would be set and others wouldn't. Recommendation: Consider validating all JSON objects before modifying state, or wrapping in a transaction. 4. JSON Object 'id' Field Type Safety (Low)At line 456, json.get("id").toString() is used. If 'id' is a complex object, toString() might produce unexpected keys. Recommendation: Add type validation to ensure 'id' is a string or simple value. 5. Memory Leak Potential - defaultBucket Still Used (Low)The defaultBucket at line 77 is used as a fallback when no database is selected. For long-running connections, this map could grow unbounded. Recommendation: Consider adding size limits, TTL, or warning logs. 6. Missing Input Validation (Low)Commands like hSet() don't validate list sizes before accessing list.get(2), which could throw IndexOutOfBoundsException. Recommendation: Add size validation at the start of command methods. 📝 Code Quality & Best Practices
