HSET

Synopsis

HSET key field value
This command sets the data for the given field of the hash that is associated with the given key with the given value. If the field already exists in the hash, it is overwritten.

If the given `key` does not exist, an associated hash is created, and the `field` and `value` are inserted.

If the given `key` is not associated with a hash, an error is raised.

Return value

Depends on the configuration parameter emulate_redis_responses.

If `emulate_redis_responses` is true, returns 1 if a new field is inserted and 0 if an existing field is updated.

If `emulate_redis_responses` is false, returns OK
