Increment Attributes Values

[HaNdTriX]

I'd like to use sails-redis to track all kinds of events.
Therefore I need the ability to increment model attributes in a performant way.
I already found the Model.native function, wich allows me to access the native redis methods but since sails-redis is based on Strings and not on Hashes I can not use any native increment method.

Is there any clean and performant way to solve this issue?

Since somebody else besides me showed some interest in the topic I answered my own question.

The thing sails-redis does is to create a database with CRUD methods by using redis key-value-store based on strings.

Therefore do not see sails-redis as an wrapper for redis. Forget about that. It is just another database wich almost has nothing to do with redis.

I you have a job like event tracking where you want to use Redis because of it's speed use node-redis and implement it yourself. sails-redis is just not made for such things.
