I would probably do the asset loading from outside pd, most programming languages have a redis client library. For this kind of job Ruby, Python, Perl, Lua or even V8 could do it. I think this kind of script would be trivial to implement.<div>
<br></div><div>Something could also be achieved from within Redis with Lua, using the soon to be stable "Scripting Branch" <a href="http://antirez.com/post/an-update-on-redis-and-lua.html">http://antirez.com/post/an-update-on-redis-and-lua.html</a></div>
<div><a href="http://antirez.com/post/an-update-on-redis-and-lua.html"></a>But as the Scripting Engine blocks Redis, I would not do anything to heavy in there, still it would probably be fast and convenient.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Also, having the pdlua external loading stuff in redis from inside of PD could also be an option to consider.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm sure these suggestions trigger more implementations ideas for the experienced pd users.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Having a puredis-asset loader object as part of the puredis library could also be a possibility, given a CSV, SQL or JSON file path, the object could make sure redis is preset the right way.</div><div>

<br></div><div>About Puredis intended usage... for my part I have in mind to integrate pd in a larger system using Redis as my data's rosetta stone. For Queue systems, Data Persistence, Pub/Sub IPC... I got used to the way you can manipulate large data sets inside Redis and tought it would match nicely with pd, and after implementating it I am even more excited about its potential. </div>

</div> <div>On the exciting topic of build systems, I recommend using the Library Template for this.
