feat(jedis-compatibility:): add scripting commands to Jedis compatibility layer

[prashanna-frsh]

Summary

This PR adds comprehensive scripting and function command support to the Jedis compatibility layer, enabling full Lua script execution and Valkey Functions capabilities. This includes 29 new methods covering EVAL, EVALSHA, SCRIPT management commands, FCALL, and all FUNCTION operations, making the compatibility layer feature-complete for server-side scripting.

Features / Behaviour Changes

New Scripting Commands (29 methods)

Lua Script Execution (9 methods):

• eval() - Execute Lua scripts with three overloads (simple, with key count, with lists)
• evalsha() - Execute scripts by SHA1 digest with three overloads
• evalReadonly() - Execute read-only scripts (Valkey 7.0+)
• evalshaReadonly() - Execute read-only scripts by SHA1 (Valkey 7.0+)

SCRIPT Management (5 methods):

• scriptLoad() - Load scripts and return SHA1 digest
• scriptExists() - Check script existence in cache
• scriptFlush() - Flush script cache (with optional flush mode)
• scriptKill() - Kill currently executing script

Valkey Functions (15 methods):

• functionLoad() / functionLoadReplace() - Load function libraries
• functionDelete() - Delete function libraries
• functionDump() / functionRestore() - Dump and restore functions (with policy support)
• functionFlush() - Flush all functions (with optional flush mode)
• functionKill() - Kill currently executing function
• fcall() / fcallReadonly() - Invoke functions
• functionList() - List functions (with optional pattern and code inclusion)
• functionStats() - Get function statistics

Supporting Types (2 enums)

• FlushMode - SYNC/ASYNC modes for flush operations with GLIDE converter
• FunctionRestorePolicy - APPEND/FLUSH/REPLACE policies with GLIDE converter

Implementation

Architecture Overview

The implementation follows a hybrid approach leveraging both type-safe GLIDE APIs and customCommand where necessary:

Type-Safe GLIDE APIs Used (18 methods):

• All SCRIPT management: scriptExists(), scriptFlush(), scriptKill()
• Read-only operations: evalReadOnly(), evalshaReadOnly()
• All FUNCTION operations: fcall(), fcallReadOnly(), functionLoad(), functionList(), functionStats(), etc.

CustomCommand Used (2 methods):

• scriptLoad() - GLIDE's Script object only stores scripts in Rust FFI layer; doesn't send SCRIPT LOAD to server
• evalsha() - GLIDE only exposes evalshaReadOnly(); standard EVALSHA requires customCommand

Key Implementation Details

1. Pattern Consistency: All methods use the existing executeCommandWithGlide() helper pattern for unified error handling and connection management.

2. Type Conversions: Transparent conversion between Jedis types and GLIDE types:

   • List<String> ↔ String[]
   • FlushMode → glide.api.models.commands.FlushMode
   • FunctionRestorePolicy → glide.api.models.commands.function.FunctionRestorePolicy

3. JavaDoc Documentation: All methods include:

   • Detailed parameter descriptions
   • Return value documentation
   • Links to Redis/Valkey command documentation
   • Implementation notes explaining customCommand usage where applicable

Files Modified

Core Implementation:

• java/jedis-compatibility/src/main/java/redis/clients/jedis/Jedis.java - Added 29 methods (~290 lines)
• java/jedis-compatibility/src/main/java/redis/clients/jedis/args/FlushMode.java - New enum (34 lines)
• java/jedis-compatibility/src/main/java/redis/clients/jedis/args/FunctionRestorePolicy.java - New enum (40 lines)

Testing:

• java/jedis-compatibility/src/test/java/redis/clients/jedis/JedisMethodsTest.java - Added 8 test methods (150 lines)
• java/integTest/src/test/java/compatibility/jedis/JedisScriptingIntegTest.java - New file with 23 tests (439 lines)

Documentation:

• java/jedis-compatibility/README.md - Added scripting examples section
• java/jedis-compatibility/compatibility-layer-migration-guide.md - Updated scripting support status
• examples/java/JedisScriptingExample.java - New comprehensive example (197 lines)

Areas Requiring Review Attention

1. CustomCommand Usage: Lines 7182-7195 (scriptLoad) and 7109-7130 (evalsha) - Verify this is the correct approach given GLIDE API limitations.

2. Lua Function Syntax: Line 428 in integration tests - Using table-based redis.register_function{} syntax for Valkey 7.0+ compatibility.

3. Type Safety: Enum conversion methods (FlushMode.java:28-32, FunctionRestorePolicy.java:24-34) - Ensure proper mapping to GLIDE enums.

4. Error Handling: All methods use executeCommandWithGlide() - consistent with existing pattern but reviewers should verify exception wrapping is appropriate.

Limitations

None - All standard Jedis scripting commands are fully implemented:

• ✅ All EVAL variants supported
• ✅ All SCRIPT management commands supported
• ✅ All FUNCTION commands supported (Valkey 7.0+)
• ✅ Both String and List-based API variants provided

Note: Binary (byte[]) overloads for scripts are not implemented but were not requested and are rarely used in practice.
