Redis Cache Store

Deployment note: Take care to use a dedicated Redis cache rather than pointing this at a persistent Redis server (for example, one used as an Active Job queue). Redis won’t cope well with mixed usage patterns and it won’t expire cache entries by default.

• Supports vanilla Redis, hiredis, and Redis::Distributed.

• Supports Memcached-like sharding across Redises with Redis::Distributed.

• Fault tolerant. If the Redis server is unavailable, no exceptions are raised. Cache fetches are all misses and writes are dropped.

• Local cache. Hot in-memory primary cache within block/middleware scope.

• read_multi and write_multi support for Redis mget/mset. Use Redis::Distributed 4.0.1+ for distributed mget support.

• delete_matched support for Redis KEYS globs.
