When Redis is used as a persistent cache, the clients implementing consistent hashing are perfect fit for a distributed-redis, as you don't need all this data safeness. You can lose a node if there is a disaster without too much problems usually (like it happens in memcached), but you want, in normal conditions, that the cache is not volatile.
