How to use HSCAN command in Redis?

Question

I want to use Redis's HSCAN command in my assignment but I have no idea how it works. Redis's official page (http://redis.io/commands/hscan) for this command gives me blank page.

I am getting continuous input data and saving them instantaneously in multiple hashes in Redis and I would like to iterate through all of them at later point of time.

I'm using following command to save my data

HMSET myhash ordertype "neworder" order_ts "1234" act_type "order_ack" ack_ts "1240"
HMSET myhash2 ordertype "neworder" order_ts "2234" act_type "order_ack" ack_ts "2240"

Can anyone give me some examples of how to use HSCAN?

In my case I would like to get following output
1) myhash
2) myhash2
3) myhash3

Commands

Start a full hash scan with:

HSCAN myhash 0

Start a hash scan with fields matching a pattern with:

HSCAN myhash 0 MATCH order_*

Start a hash scan with fields matching a pattern and forcing the scan command to do more scanning with:

HSCAN myhash 0 MATCH order_* COUNT 1000

Note

Don't forget that MATCH can return little to no element for each iteration, as explained in the documentation:

It is important to note that the MATCH filter is applied after elements are retrieved from the collection, just before returning data to the client. This means that if the pattern matches very little elements inside the collection, SCAN will likely return no elements in most iterations.

And that's why you can use COUNT to force more scanning for each iteration.

[Update] As Didier Spezia specified, you'll need Redis 2.8+ to use the *SCAN commands.
