This PR aims at adding support for Redis to be used as a caching backend with Django. As redis is the most popular caching backend, adding it to django.core.cache module would be a great addition for developers who previously had to rely on the use of third party packages.
Hey @carltongibson So I was able to get a quick and simple implementation up and running. However, there are several decisions that I made for simplicity, like using pickle for serializing data. I am still not sure how shall be handle multiple servers. Do we setup a sharding based client (like memcached) or should it cater to a replication based setup with a "Primary and replica" based setup?
The initial thing is tests. Can you look at the coverage for the existing backends and adapt the tests for the new backend? Then, that immediately gives us a todo list in terms of API.
