Infinispan as a Redis Replacement

Important

Infinispan now provides native support for Redis commands, so it's possible for Infinispan to be used as an Apache 2.0 License Redis replacement. See the Infinispan docs for more details.

infinispan-cachestore-redis

A cache store for storing cache data in Redis using Infinispan.

Supports single servers, Sentinel and Redis cluster.

Caveats

• When using AWS ElastiCache, always specify an explicit non-zero database index for all <redis-store/> configurations, for example <redis-store database="1"/>. AWS ElastiCache inserts a special ElastiCacheMasterReplicationTimestamp key in the default database (at zero index) to aid replication, which may lead to unexpected unmarshalling IO exceptions when the Infinispan cache needs to iterate over the stored keys.
