Check out jedis, see whether we can replace jredis with it

[Muharem Hrnjadovic]

Barring a decision to switch to MongoDB and drop redis altogether, we should check out jedis [1], the maintained and recommended java bindings for redis and see whether we can replace jredis.

Hmm .. from https://github.com/xetorthio/jedis :

"Jedis is fully compatible with redis 2.0.0." .. sent the author a message and asked about redis-2.2 compatibility ..

According to [1] redis 2.2 is a drop in replacement for 2.0, so there
should be no need for a specific client for 2.2.

But it's better to be sure :)

Not sure how well jedis is crafted but I remember us having failures when we used jredis in conjunction with redis-server revisions newer then 2.0.X

Besides, the 12.04 LTS release we are preparing for is very likely to ship redis-sever rev. 2.4

Response from the author (https://github.com/xetorthio):

Re: Does jedis work with redis-server 2.2?

Yes it should. There might be some command missing, but other than that,
Jedis is 100% compatible.

This is not needed any more, jredis is doing the trick for the time being.
