Is AOF the preferred persistence method than I take it? After seeing some pain that is required to resuscitate Redis from the persisted files if it goes down, I was wary of relying on that persistence. I'm pretty excited about the cluster functionality. At my current company sadly I'm working with big data so I can't really use Redis as a main backing store, but it's always in my head for personal projects.
