Storage instances

[Travis Warlick]

I would like to use a Redis::Distributed instance for the metastore;
however, since rack-cache.metastore only supports URIs, I'm wondering
if this was an intentional design decision and if a concept like this
could be successfully merged into that design:

use Rack::Cache, :metastore =>['redis://redis1/0', 'redis://
redis2/0']

Quick background on why I want to do this: Redis::Distributed
instances uses a sharding technique to distribute the keys across
multiple instances. We have 6 app servers, and we run a redis
instance on each one to distribute the data without having to use
replication.

Yes. I'd definitely like to support custom stores at some point. Right
now you can achieve this by adding a constant to
Rack::Cache::MetaStore::REDIS and Rack::Cache::EntityStore::REDIS
pointing to the implementation classes. I'd like to add a cleaner API
sometime in the future.

Also, I'd accept a patch to add Redis meta and entity stores for sure.
