This was reported on the mailing list as affecting ceilometer. It appears that the fix for the memcached bug (https://github.com/openstack/oslo.cache/commit/685a05edfef24cb2300df24aa3417ad0ecd2c2c2) broke the redis backend because it can't handle a list for the url argument.

It looks like dogpile actually documents both list and string urls, presumably depending on the driver. Maybe we need to have some driver-specific logic in oslo.cache to handle this?
