I thought that, with the introduction of redis cluster in 3.x, they were moving away from multiple logical "dbs" that had indicies. Are they going to continue to multiple databases in 4?
Hello, it's basically both... Cluster: no multiple DBs, since IMHO they don't fit the idea of a distributed DB a lot. Single instance: even more support for multiple DBs in order to create complex caching patterns. This may look strange but I think that Redis Cluster use cases don't need the complexity of multiple DBs, while Redis as a single instance (even if combined in client-side multi master shards or whatever) can benefit of multiple DBs and things like SWAPDB in order to allow the developer to use Redis as a building block.
Thanks for your response, sorry it took me so long to respond! Personally the cluster pattern is more intuitive for me and the problems I solve. I had thought that there was a sense that using multiple dbs in one redis instances was a bit of an anti-pattern. Are there any docs on some examples of the building block configurations you're talking about?
