Research direction

Start by locating the existing set union command implementation and its tests in Kvrocks, then read how commands parse key counts and optional arguments. Add support for SUNIONCARD with the documented APPROX and LIMIT options; done means its results match the examples and Redis command behavior.

  • I had searched in the issues and found no similar issues.
Motivation

Redis 8.10.0 added SUNIONCARD (redis/redis#14893). It returns the cardinality of the union of the given sets, without sending the members back to the client.

Syntax (Redis 8.10.0)

SUNIONCARD numkeys key [key ...] [APPROX] [LIMIT limit]

Example

> SADD key1 a b c
(integer) 3
> SADD key2 c d e
(integer) 3
> SUNIONCARD 2 key1 key2
(integer) 5
> SUNIONCARD 2 key1 key2 LIMIT 3
(integer) 3
> SUNIONCARD 2 key1 key2 APPROX
(integer) 5
