Hello all
we've been thinking of extending the dialplan module for
using redis as its backend. These are our thoughts of how we to
use it.
For a regular sql backend, each table has 4 main fields:
dpid,match_exp,subst_exp,repl_exp
dpid is given as argument to the only function exported by
the module (dp_translate). There are two additional arguments to
the function, the source variable upon which the lookup and
translation are to be performed and the variable where the
transformation will be stored. There are no tables/rows in
redis, so the approach we were thinking -there are many- was
using a hash for each pair (dpid,match_exp).
An example might help:
Let's say we have this row in potsgres:
dpid|match_exp|subst_exp|repl_exp
1 | ^34 | ^34(.*) | \1
According to this approach it would translate into this redis
structure:
key = 1:^34
field 1 name = subst_exp ; value = ^34(.*)
field 2 name = repl_exp ; value = \1
The field names could be configurable as module parameters,
and we could add "redis" and driver in the dburl parameter.
It would be great to now the opinions of the list about this
approach, since there are several other ways to accomplish this:
-"by hand" from the kamailio script
-LUA
-Implementing a new module
We would be happy to implement it once there is an agreement
on how to proceed. As far as I see it, several modules could be
extended in a similar way.
Thanks in advance
Javi
