React to changes in StackExchange.Redis 2.0

Details at StackExchange/StackExchange.Redis#871

I think we'd look at upgrading our dependency to 2.0 and knocking out the soon to be obsolete StackExchange.Redis.StrongName package in the 3.0 timeframe.

SignalR too?

[davidfowl]

Yep

[DamianEdwards]

Oh yeah

StackExchange.Redis 2.0 is out, Given the perf improvements in StackExchange.Redis 2.0 It is tempting to backport this to 2.2-preview or 2.2 release?

I just installed https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis.Core and saw how old the redis package was. It is also owned by https://www.nuget.org/profiles/LonghronShen which looks weird and phishy.

I would love to see this updated in the next 2.2 preview or release.

[BrennanConroy]

That is definitely not our package.

[steveoh]

@BrennanConroy Would you kindly deal with that package and provide the real package location. Is it https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis/2.2.0-preview1-35029

PS: I found it from this msdn article https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/luisdem/2016/09/06/azure-redis-cache-on-asp-net-core/

[BrennanConroy]

Is it https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis/2.2.0-preview1-35029

Yes

[steveoh]

Thanks for the quick response!

the nuget package name squatting is a problem.

The package name must have changed because it is referenced in this blog post also: https://dotnetthoughts.net/configuring-redis-for-aspnet-core-session-store/

@DamianEdwards what about this repo https://github.com/aspnet/DataProtection is it needed to open a different issue there?

[dwilliss]

I see that this is scheduled for a 3.0 release, but is there any chance it could happen sooner?
There's a memory leak issue with the StackExchange.Redis.StrongName version 1.2 that appears to be solved in StackExchange.Redis version 2.0.

@DamianEdwards @davidfowl what are the chances for 2.2 here?
