Hello Jungtaek,
the work on Redis Cluster si currently the main priority, and if you
check the latest three months work of commits, you can see it clearly.
The current "break" was just a few weeks in order to introduce
something newer to Redis 2.8.9, that will be released today.
Those new things are: 1) HyperLogLogs. 2) Range queries in sorted
sets. This was a required move because there is a very large Redis
community percentage that is focused on Redis data structures without
caring too much about Redis as a store. From time to time we need to
support this part of the community as well: to do just Cluster,
uninterrupted, for months, would be a bit like forgetting that there
are many users that are not interested in this use case and want to
see, from time to time, some work supporting their usage of Redis.
So long story short, nothing is changing about the ETA, today 2.8.9 is
release, and I'll work a few more weeks to Cluster beta-3 (there are
already important new things compared to beta-2 in the current
branch), and release it, and so forth for the next weeks. Eventually
it will get stable (depends a lot on the community feedbacks /
testing) and it will be a feature like the others that will get its
round of work as required. Assuming this process will last again more
than 2/3 months and for some reason we are not yet about to reach
stability, I'll have again to stop a few weeks to do some unrelated
work.
TL;DR: Because I think in the near future Redis Cluster will be a big
change for the Redis community, I'm currently investing an
disproportionate amount of work on it compared to the current Redis
use cases by percentage of users. Yet some other work needs to be done
in parallel.
Regards,
Salvatore
