I have probably asked this before, but don't remember the answer anymore. What I'm asking here is that could we have a request served hook / shutdown...

Is the content of nginx.shared.DICT kept when nginx is reloaded?

Hi,

I use nginx.shared.DICT to store some session data. When nginx is reloaded, would the content of these DICT be kept or be emptied?

Thanks

quote from lua-nginx-module document:

The shared dictionary will retain its contents through a server config reload (either by sending the HUP signal to the Nginx process or by using the -s reload command-line option).

So, yes, the content in shared.DICT will be kept when nginx reloaded. And you can make a simple test for this.
