Summary

RediSearch 1.6 offers significant performance improvements, including up to a 73% boost and reduced latency of up to 64%, making it faster than its predecessor, RediSearch 1.4. The new version introduces aliasing, a low-level API that allows other Redis modules to use RediSearch's capabilities, enhancing the flexibility and power of development with RediSearch. Aliasing enables transparent redirection of application queries from one index to another without downtime. Additionally, RediSearch 1.6 includes improved query validation, better garbage collection, and support for polygon search, aiming to further improve developer experience and performance. The new version is also the fastest RediSearch yet, reducing latencies and peaks across all types of queries.
