I recently had to help some developer that was stuck trying to have mongodb lock a resource and started using redis+redshift to prevent multiple webserver from updating a document in parallel (mongodb basic locking features weren't enough in his case). As a RDBMS aficionado, that whole stack made me puke, BUT, to all the really smart people here having a PHD in distributed systems, please : try to help antirez build something that works. Many developers are trying to reach the shore of consistent systems after having been lost in the ocean of "NoSQL is great for everything". Note : and i'm not saying redis is to blame here. It's obviously a great software. It's mostly the users that are to blame in this case.
