When to use
- Append only or prepend only data
- Time series data ex) temperature readings, stock values
Non-stop overtime! - Need to only fetch last or first element is reuiqred only.
But this requirement is also implemented in sorted set.
So use sorted set instead of list
Data is organized by insertion order or time order
Don’t use
- You need to apply some filtering criteria
- Data requires sort by some attribute.
In List, there’s no filtering command
Tips
This is not an array!!!
This is implemented as doubly linked list.
Store an ordered list of strings.
