We switched from redis to hazelcast for our caching needs.
- Protostuff + Hazelcast
is much faster for us than - Protostuff + Jedis (pooled) + Redis
We use protostuff to serialize beans that are expensive to create. Hazelcasts standard-serialization mechanism is much slower. Our environment is Glassfish 3.1.
Hazelcast looks like they only have java libs, Redis has one for every language.
True. Hazelcast provides just a REST API and an implementation of the memcached protocol.
