Add support for skip history (write last state to sink)

[gkorland]

In case when only the last key state is relevant we should be able to skip updates.

e.g.

HSET person:1 name v1
HSET person:1 name v2
HSET person:1 name v3

Only one call to the DB should sent

UPDATE person SET name = v3 WHERE id=1;

@gkorland could this be generalised as a feature of streams?

Hi, is it possible to write only first key occurrence (in final database table) and dont' make a "REPLACE INTO" if a replicated key is inserted in redis? Thanks

@mcazzador Theoretically, it's possible but requires some code changes, if you describe a little more the usecase and why you need it maybe we can come up with a solution.

Hi, "REPLACE INTO" is not the best solution for me because i need to flag every DB records inserted on backend. REPLACE INTO in case of duplicate key (I want to protect myself from a possible case of this type without bloking error), erase my previous update fields. Maybe i can change REPLACE INTO with something like that:

INSERT INTO tablename (id, value...) VALUES('$id', '$value',....) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ....

I thought it was already implemented in the code.

@mcazzador you can easily change the add query by inheriting the MySqlConnector (for example in case of mysql backend) and override def PrepereQueries(self, mappings): https://github.com/RedisGears/rgsync/blob/c16a7374b8a2b21b81503818a69dd57fd6108c8b/rgsync/Connectors/sql_connectors.py#L181 Then you can use your new connector as it was MySql connector.

Is this helps?

Thank's a lot

[mcazzador]

I do that, maybe it could be doing better, thanks
