Earlier quoted context omitted.

You fogot: WARNING: Redis 3.0 is currently a BETA not suitable for production environments.

I think he just forgot to remove that from the changelog as this is indeed marked as a stable release now, except possibly for the cluster feature.

Sorry, stale warning removed.

For lazy readers: CLUSTERING!

   Maybe it works great from day one,
   maybe it will need a few more iterations, 
   and possibly with 3.2 we'll improve support for many stuff, 
   but my guess is that Redis 3.0.0 today, in some way, changes what Redis is.

What is the best alternative for redis?

There isn't really one. Memcached fulfills a subset of its simplest use cases.

That would depend pretty strongly on what about redis isn't working for you.

It's software. Everybody knows how it works :)

(To note, I have limited experience with using Redis. My questions may be stupid.)

As far as I can tell, most of the advantages of Redis come from the fact that it's all held in memory and so access is fast. Is networked access to other parts of the cluster quick enough that it is quicker than storing the data on one computer, partly on disk? When would one want to use a Redis cluster rather than something stored on-disk and cached in memory?

Yeah, clustered Redis, announced today? Sounds like a joke to me!
