(#2459598)
hriedis on perl works fine, well, mostly fine. I uncovered at least one small bug which I'll send on at some point.
The issue is that hiredis didn't have a usable python client, and I hated developing in perl, or C. Without hiredis, redis over python is unusably slow for querying 100k+ keys at once, I believe due to python's networking / socket code.
In the end, I ended up moving to pytables for this sort of stuff; it would be nice to use redis for it, but the data access patterns are tuned a little bit more for the web than for a 'do this math on these 3 million data points' kind of use case.
Anyway, I'm excited about redis cluster, I think it fits a huge need for web-scale application development.
