+When using Predis, by default, clusters will perform client-side sharding across your nodes, allowing you to pool nodes and create a large amount of available RAM. However, client-side sharding does not handle failover; therefore, it is primarily suited for transient cached data that is available from another primary data store.
 
 If you would like to use native Redis clustering instead of client-side sharding, you may specify this by setting the `options.cluster` configuration value to `redis` within your application's `config/database.php` configuration file:
 
     'redis' => [
 
-        'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis'),
+        'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'predis'),
