This directory contains all Redict dependencies, except for the libc that
should be provided by the operating system.
* **Jemalloc** is our memory allocator, used as replacement for libc malloc on Linux by default. It has good performances and excellent fragmentation behavior. This component is upgraded from time to time.
* **hiredis** is the official C client library for Redis. It is used by redis-cli, redis-benchmark and Redis Sentinel. It is part of the Redis official ecosystem but is developed externally from the Redis repository, so we just upgrade it as needed.
* **linenoise** is a readline replacement. It is developed by the same authors of Redis but is managed as a separated project and updated as needed.
* **hiredict** is the official C client library for Redict. It is used by redict-cli, redict-benchmark and Redict Sentinel.
* **linenoise** is a readline replacement. It is developed by the same authors of Redict but is managed as a separated project and updated as needed.
* **lua** is Lua 5.1 with minor changes for security and additional libraries.
* **hdr_histogram** Used for per-command latency tracking histograms.
