Description

Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value cache and store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps and hyperloglogs. More at Redis project page

Providing a Redis protocol adaptor will be beneficial to both Geode and Redis communities.

• Redis:

1. The Redis community will get a scalable redis implementation where the individual data structures like lists, sets etc will scale across multiple servers.
2. Since the current redis server is single threaded and Geode is good at handling concurrency, this protocol adaptor should be able to provide a highly concurrent redis server.

• Geode

1. Geode community will be able to use data structures beyond maps (sorted sets, lists)
