I can't find the ability to read existing files in Redis. (Maybe I just don't know it, so if you do, please let me know.) So I made a module that maps a file with double values written to it with mmap and reads/writes the values at specified locations from it. I've included the full code so that you can try it out by simply opening Colab from the button in the upper left corner and executing the cells in order. Please also refer to this as a way to create a Redis module.
Using this module, the following commands can be used in Redis.
// This command binds key to the file at file_path.
MMAP key file_path
// This command gets a value at index position from key
VGET key index
// This command gets values at multiple index positions from key
VMGET key index [index ...]
// This command writes values to the index positions of key
VSET key index value [index value ...]
// This command adds a value to key
VADD key value [value ...]
// This command retrieves and deletes the last value of key
VPOP key
// This command gets the number of values of key
VCOUNT key
// This command erases the contents of key
VCLEAR key
First, obtain the Redis source and change the current directory to module's one.

Now let's write the code in fmmap.c. The value to be read/written is a double. Error handling has been omitted to make the code easier to read. If you try it, please do not submit any nasty commands.😏
In addition, the code available here allows you to choose the type of value to read or write, and is complete with error handling.
