Hello all,
I keep seeing references in WMF documents to using Redis for session storage and as the
storage for the job queue going forward. However, LocalSettings doesn't have any
references to Redis. It looks like the session changes for Redis were in 1.20, and I
thought that the change for the job queue to be backed by Redis was coming in 1.21. It
also seems that Notifications (Echo) may require Redis, but that's not real clear.
I'm wondering what the general status of this is? As a 3rd party mediawiki admin,
I'm eager to get redis going primarily for the job queue improvements, but with
nothing noted in local settings documentation I'm wondering what the plan is for these
redis based features? Will $wgMainCacheType be getting a CACHE_REDIS option?
