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

Not a joke, the release was due in these days, so I picked 1 April since we have a tradition now to ship 1 April. Last year with HyperLogLog support, because of the futuristic name of the data structure, people had an hard time to believe it was a really thing and not a joke.

I understand your reasons and nevertheless hope that you can realize that you are still contributing to April Fool's insanity by making it that much harder for people to tell what is serious and what isn't on this day of disregard.

You’re totally within your rights here. I just beg you to consider the audience.

Still no SSL, so using redis-client still just spews your password out all over the internet.

Why are you connecting to a Redis box across the internet? There's a great (and after Heartbleed, prophetic) post on the Varnish web site about why they don't implement SSL, I imagine Redis would be similar:

What is the best alternative for redis?

http://memcached.org/ used to be. I haven't done system architecture in about 2 years but when we were looking at in memory databases, it came down to Redis or Memcache.

Depending on what you need your database for, there are some that perform better than others. You can check this site for comparisons: http://kkovacs.eu/cassandra-vs-mongodb-vs-couchdb-vs-redis

That was a nice timing, just yesterday I hacked around asyncio-redis package to provide clustering support.

Anyone interested in trying it out, or contributing, you can see the project here: https://github.com/renatomassaro/asyncio-redis-cluster

Edit: as for blocking requests, redis-py-cluster is an awesome lib that provides cluster support over the traditional redis-py client.

Yep this can lead to some confusion, but the magic of OSS software is that you can download it and check :-)
