# Redis & Chunking Implementation for Large Data Handling

## 🚀 Overview

This implementation provides two powerful approaches for handling large datasets:

1. **Redis-like In-Memory Cache** - Advanced caching with LRU/LFU eviction policies
2. **Data Chunking System** - Efficient pagination and lazy loading for large datasets

## 🏗️ Architecture

### Redis-like Cache (`src/lib/redis-cache.ts`)
```typescript
// Basic operations
redisCache.set('key', data, ttl);
redisCache.get('key');
redisCache.delete('key');

// Hash operations for complex data
redisCache.hash('users').hset('user1', userData);
redisCache.hash('users').hget('user1');

// List operations
redisCache.lpush('recent_products', product);
redisCache.rpop('recent_products');

// Increment/Decrement
redisCache.incr('page_views');
redisCache.incrby('points', 100);
```

### Data Chunking (`src/lib/data-chunking.ts`)
```typescript
const chunkManager = new DataChunkManager({
  chunkSize: 20,
  maxConcurrentChunks: 3,
  retryAttempts: 3
});

// Load chunks with caching
const result = await chunkManager.loadChunk('/api/products', 1);
```

### Enhanced Products Hook (`src/hooks/useEnhancedProducts.ts`)
```typescript
const [state, actions] = useEnhancedProducts({
  category: 'electronics',
  enableCache: true,
  enableChunking: true,
  chunkSize: 20
});

// Actions available
actions.loadMore();     // Load next page
actions.refresh();      // Refresh data
actions.preloadNext();  // Preload next pages
```

## 📊 Features

### Redis-like Cache Features
- ✅ **Multiple Eviction Policies**: LRU, LFU, TTL, Random
- ✅ **Memory Management**: Configurable size limits with auto-cleanup
- ✅ **Data Structures**: Strings, Hashes, Lists, Counters
- ✅ **Pattern Matching**: Key search with wildcards
- ✅ **Persistence**: Optional localStorage/IndexedDB persistence
- ✅ **Performance Monitoring**: Hit rates, memory usage, statistics

### Data Chunking Features
- ✅ **Smart Pagination**: Efficient chunk loading with caching
- ✅ **Concurrent Loading**: Multiple chunks loaded in parallel
- ✅ **Preloading**: Anticipatory loading for smooth UX
- ✅ **Abort Controllers**: Cancel requests to prevent race conditions
- ✅ **Memory Management**: Automatic cleanup of old chunks
- ✅ **Error Handling**: Retry mechanisms with exponential backoff

### Large Data Handler Component
- ✅ **Multiple View Modes**: Infinite scroll, pagination, virtual scrolling
- ✅ **Performance Stats**: Real-time monitoring of cache and chunks
- ✅ **Adaptive Loading**: Connection-aware optimization
- ✅ **Error Recovery**: Graceful error handling with retry options

## 🎯 Usage Examples

### 1. Basic Redis-like Caching
```typescript
import { redisCache, cacheHelpers } from '@/lib/redis-cache';

// Cache API responses
cacheHelpers.cacheApiResponse('/api/products', data, 15 * 60 * 1000);

// Get cached response
const cached = cacheHelpers.getCachedApiResponse('/api/products');

// Cache user session data
redisCache.hash('sessions').hset(sessionId, userData);

// Increment page views
redisCache.incr('page_views');
```

### 2. Data Chunking for Large Lists
```typescript
import { useChunkedData } from '@/lib/data-chunking';

const {
  loadChunk,
  preloadNext,
  getAllData,
  getStats
} = useChunkedData('/api/products', { category: 'electronics' });

// Load specific page
const result = await loadChunk(2);

// Preload next pages
await preloadNext(2, 3);

// Get all loaded data
const allProducts = getAllData();
```

### 3. Enhanced Products with Caching + Chunking
```typescript
import { useEnhancedProducts } from '@/hooks/useEnhancedProducts';

function ProductList() {
  const [state, actions] = useEnhancedProducts({
    category: 'electronics',
    enableCache: true,
    enableChunking: true,
    preloadNext: true,
    chunkSize: 20
  });

  return (
    <div>
      {state.products.map(product => (
        <ProductCard key={product.id} {...product} />
      ))}
      
      {state.hasMore && (
        <button onClick={actions.loadMore}>
          Load More
        </button>
      )}
      
      {/* Performance stats */}
      <div>Cache Hit Rate: {actions.getStats().cache.hitRate}%</div>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### 4. Large Data Handler Component
```typescript
import { LargeDataHandler } from '@/components/ui/large-data-handler';

function ProductsPage() {
  return (
    <LargeDataHandler
      mode="infinite"
      category="electronics"
      enableCache={true}
      enableChunking={true}
      itemsPerPage={20}
    />
  );
}
```

## ⚡ Performance Optimizations

### Cache Configuration
```typescript
const config = {
  maxMemory: 50 * 1024 * 1024,  // 50MB
  evictionPolicy: 'lru',         // Least Recently Used
  keyExpiry: 30 * 60 * 1000,     // 30 minutes
  compressionEnabled: false,     // Optional compression
  persistToBrowser: true         // Persist to localStorage
};
```

### Chunking Configuration
```typescript
const chunkConfig = {
  chunkSize: 20,                 // Items per chunk
  maxConcurrentChunks: 3,        // Parallel requests
  retryAttempts: 3,              // Error recovery
  retryDelay: 1000               // Delay between retries
};
```

## 📈 Expected Performance Gains

- No caching between page visits
- Memory issues with large datasets
- Poor mobile performance

### After Implementation
- ✅ **80-90% faster** subsequent loads with Redis cache
- ✅ **Infinite scroll** with smooth chunking
- ✅ **Memory efficient** with automatic cleanup
- ✅ **Mobile optimized** with adaptive loading
- ✅ **Real-time monitoring** of performance metrics

console.log('Cache stats:', redisCache.info());
console.log('Memory usage:', (redisCache.info().totalMemory / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2) + ' MB');
```

### 2. Chunking Performance Test
```javascript
// Test chunk loading
const stats = dataChunkManager.getStats();
console.log('Chunks loaded:', stats.totalChunks);
console.log('Average chunk size:', stats.averageChunkSize);
```

### 3. Load Testing
```javascript
// Simulate large dataset
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  redisCache.set(`test_${i}`, { data: `Item ${i}` });
