redis master/slave connection support?

[lishenzhi]

does the cacheops_redis support redis master/slave set up?

[Suor]

It doesn't.

Maybe I'll be more helpful if you describe your situation and say why do you want it to use master/slave.

May be you will be interested in simple patch

Not sure this is possible with simple patch. I consider django-db-router-like approach.

@Suor i am trying to use cacheops with redis on AWS. I have a replication group for redis, and my redis config looks like:

CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
'LOCATION': [
"redis://master:6379/1",
"redis://replica1:6379/1",
"redis://replica2:6379/1",
],
"OPTIONS": { ... }
} }

is it possible for cacheops to use the CACHES config directly, instead of using CACHEOPS_REDIS?

[Suor]

@lishenzhi using django_redis.cache.RedisCache and CACHES setting won't work. cacheops uses its own CACHEOPS_REDIS setting and its own redis client instance. Using Django caching framework is out of question - it doesn't support all required capabilities. Pretending to use it by only allowing django_redis.cache.RedisCache is confusing and have no benefits: it adds nothing useful atop pure redis client.

The approach I support for master slave is using router function. You can look up discussions in #121 and #35.
