add redis as centralised cache store

[tarrygo]

I am planning to use makara gem for rails application. I want to use redis as my cache store that will be shared between multiple server running the application.

the commands supported by makara cache are read and write. How can we add support for redis.

You would create a redis adapter and set it up in an initializer.

#config/initializers/makara.rb
class RedisAdapter
  def read(key)
    $redis.get(key)
  end
  def write(key, value, ttl)
    $redis.setex(key, ttl, value)
  end
end

::Makara::Cache.store = RedisAdapter.new
