Can I use Redis as a substitute of Memcached?

Maybe.
I would appreciate a definitive answer, but thanks. I'll try.
Ah, never mind.
Let me use the sheer amount of information you supplied and the concentrated knowledge of my crystal ball. I'll give my best...
It all comes down to a definitive perhaps.
Ok, now you're just trolling me. I'd like to kindly ask you to refrain from posting. As I said before, I need a definitive answer.
And no, perhaps is not definitive.
Based on all you gave us, it is a perhaps.
But if you don't want me to respond anymore, then I won't ask you for more information. That's no problem for me; you want to know, if you can use Redis, not me.
Btw. please take note that you should not bump posts for fun, just because you did not get an answer. There are clear criteria, which I kindly ask you to obey. Thank you.
Well, from the little I've found:
- Does Redis use the same api as Memcached?
- Apparently, no.
- Does MediaWiki has explicit support for Redis?
- No.
If any doubts, try it yourself. If you want support for Redis, open a bug for that.
Wikimedia is starting to use Redis. Since it can do more than key-value store, they aren't yet taking full advantage of it.
