Feature request: redis backend

[neonknight]

In addition to memcached, how about a redis backend?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never worked with Redis before. Is there any specific reason memcached does not work in your case?

I simply prefer redis over memcached :-) and I already use redis for other things, while I only need memcached for hauk.
On a more objective side, redis has more features than memcached, more data types and can replace it in probably any situation. I'd definitely consider it the more advanced option and way to go in the future. In addition, redis has a geospatial data type which might be handy for applications working with geodata.
However, treat this as a low priority request.

I see :-) I'll consider it, but it's low priority for now.

This is now live in the latest backend. The settings are available in the default configuration file; you can put these settings into your own config file to apply them to your instance.
