Introducing Redis Store

• mpd 14y ago
  I'd love to know how it handles adding new shards. Migrating redis data from one shard to another has been a major pain point for us in the past, and has caused us to move away from redis for any big data needs we have where growth can't accurately be estimated.

    I know, that's a pain. Unfortunately, Redis (Store) doesn't provide a solution for that.

    Isn't this a problem wish all databases?
    • mpd 14y ago
      Yes, but even serializing data at the key level in redis to do it yourself is painful. With 2.6.0, redis provides dump[1] and restore[2] methods which will go a long way to alleviate this, but that version is still in pre-release status at the moment, and was not available at all last year when we had our issues.
