How to get DIFF on sorted set

Question

How do I get most weighted elements from a sorted set, but excluding those found in another set(or list or hash).

>zadd all 1 one
>zadd all 2 two

Answer 1

Note: I assume you've meant sadd disabled two

As you've found out, SDIFF does not operate on sorted sets - that is because defining the difference between sorted sets isn't trivial.

What you could do is first create a temporary set with ZUNIONSTORE and set the intersect's scores to 0. Then do a range excluding the 0, e.g.:

127.0.0.1:6379> ZADD all 1 one 2 two 3 three
(integer) 3
127.0.0.1:6379> SADD disabled two
(integer) 1
127.0.0.1:6379> ZUNIONSTORE tmp 2 all disabled WEIGHTS 1 0 AGGREGATE MIN
(integer) 3
127.0.0.1:6379> ZREVRANGEBYSCORE tmp +inf 1 WITHSCORES
1) "three"
2) "3"
3) "one"
4) "1"
