# redis-rb

A ruby client library for the redis key value storage system.

## Information about redis

Redis is a key value store with some interesting features:
1. It's fast.
2. Keys are strings but values can have types of "NONE", "STRING", "LIST",  or "SET".  List's can be atomically push'd, pop'd, lpush'd, lpop'd and indexed.  This allows you to store things like lists of comments under one key while retaining the ability to append comments without reading and putting back the whole list.

See [redis on code.google.com](http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/README) for more information.

See the build on [RunCodeRun](http://runcoderun.com/defunkt/redis-rb)

## Dependencies

1. rspec -

running first.

## Differences from ezmobius/redis-rb

* Connection is deferred until you use the library. a420731
* You may initialize a `Redis::Namespace` class for scoping all keys
  to a namespace

I will continue to merge in changes from ezmobius/redis-rb.
