Varnish is other thing. For cross-datacenter replication you will want SSL. So for Redis Cluster it's a necessary thing.

Surely you would keep this in a private network? Layer 2/Encrypted VPNs?

For Redis - yes. But VPN is additional latency and additional service you have to monitor/restart/duplicate.

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.

Won't someone please think of the childr...er, developers!

Here's the full cluster spec: http://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec Looking forward to seeing it taken apart by aphyr. Congrats to Salvatore and the rest of the redis committers!

Is he still doing Jepsen tests? Thought he was doing Clojure work atm?

Yes, he is not doing Jepsen at the moment. The end of his last blog post on it has some explanation. That said, I wouldn't wonder if he'd make an exception, given that it's Redis...

(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-…

The primary advantage of Redis is native data types and access patterns beyond simple key-values: lists, sets, sorted sets, hash tables, pub/sub, hyperloglog, and scripting (lua) support. Being memory-based was simply a feature but not necessarily something that set it apart: Memcached had that area pretty well locked down for being a blazing fast key-value store. And then Membase was basically memcached + persistenc…

seconded. memory = fast is not the point. the point is that it gives you specific data types that do specific things and since it's in memory it does those things very quickly. that said, you need to implement your own clustering or sharing solution. jury is still out on the new cluster code, i havent reviewed it yet.

Pretty sure I saw him tweeting about jepsen the other day

He's been tweeting about Jepsen tests on Aerospike lately: https://twitter.com/aphyr/status/582653874894282752.
