I will continue here.
My project is based on redis and i would like to use nessdb for the keys best stored on disk for size / volume raisons.
The idea was to use redis for short term and index data and nessdb for long term data.
The use of the same protocol than redis was a great idea from my point of view.
Now, i do not understand what you mean by "need more power" and i would like to ask you to keep the redis protocol support but only if you think it's not too many work for you.
If you droped the server because you think nobody want to use it you are wrong. If you droped the server because you don't have enought time to support it you are right.
What you decision will be, thanks for sharing your work.
Bests regards, Olivier Goudron
