We do not use Redis. The client was a go-redis fork and still said so
everywhere: `package redis`, `redis.NewClient`, `redis://`, `extra/redisotel`.
Consumers wrote `redis.Client` against a Valkey-backed store called KV.
package redis -> package kv (93 decls)
redis.X -> kv.X (2,794 call sites)
"redis: …" errors -> "kv: …" (206)
extra/redis{otel,cmd,prometheus,census} -> extra/kv{otel,cmd,prometheus,census}
redis:// , rediss:// -> kv:// , kvs:// (ParseURL)
Redis*/*Redis* idents -> KV*/*KV*
REDIS_VERSION, REDIS_ENDPOINTS_CONFIG_PATH -> KV_*
I previously argued this rename was unsafe because much of it was "wire
contract". That was wrong, and the categorisation shows why: RESP command names
are GET/SET/HSET — they never contain the word. Of 5,771 occurrences only two
kinds were server-visible at all: the ParseURL scheme (we choose what we pass;
our configs already use kv://) and the CLIENT SETINFO lib-name label, which the
server merely records. Nothing here changes a byte of protocol.
Two things deliberately keep the old spelling:
RediSearch — names a specific external module the FT.* commands map to.
StoreDist — contains the letters by accident (sto-reDis-t), not the word.
Breaking for consumers by design: every import site must move redis.X -> kv.X.
Minor bump, never a major — this module stays v9 forever.
KV lives in its own org now, like hanzokms / hanzos3 / hanzo-ds. The repo moved
hanzoai/kv-go -> hanzokv/go, so the module path follows: a Go module path must
match where the repo actually is, or the proxy cannot resolve it.
The name is `go`, not `kv-go`, following the hanzo-ds convention — that org
holds go, mock, native, sqlbuilder, sqlparser, each named for its language or
concern with the ORG supplying the product noun. Repeating "kv" inside a repo
that already lives under hanzokv is the compound-word habit we are dropping.
349 occurrences across 188 files: the root module, all four extra/* modules,
every example module, imports throughout the tree, and the docs. Builds clean.
The package is still `package redis` and the extra dirs are still named
redis*. That rename is deliberately NOT bundled here: it is 5,771 occurrences,
it breaks all 11 consumers at once, and a large share are WIRE CONTRACTS rather
than branding — the redis:// scheme parser, the "redis: nil" error string, RESP
command names. Renaming those breaks protocol compatibility with the Valkey
server. It needs the same our-vocabulary-vs-the-wire split the argo sweep used,
as its own change.
GitHub keeps the old path redirecting, and versions already published under
github.com/hanzoai/kv-go/v9 stay resolvable, so nothing breaks the moment this
lands. Consumers move on their own schedule.
Update module path from github.com/redis/go-redis/v9 to
github.com/hanzoai/kv-go/v9 for use as the Hanzo KV Go SDK.
- Update go.mod module declaration
- Update all Go imports across 260 files
- Update all submodule go.mod files (extra/*, example/*, internal/customvet)
