GlobalCache: Support for redis

1 Initial Problem

The ilGlobalCache-Service already supports several caching services such as APCu and Memcached. Another important service could be Redis.

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as database, cache and message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries. Redis has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions and different levels of on-disk persistence, and provides high availability via Redis Sentinel and automatic partitioning with Redis Cluster.

1.1 Conceptual Summary

Redis has been placed as number one for key-value-storage: http://db-engines.com/de/ranking/key-value+store
