We have several Redis version servers like v3, v4 . I'm trying to migrate data from those servers to one Redis v6 version with indexing. I'm new to Redis migration from one version to new Redis version.
How can I do all version data.dump to new Redis v6 data.dump with indexing.

How to connect to redis-cli for older engine versions (3.2.6)?

I want to clear AWS Redis cache (engine version 3.2.6) and I can't connect to the cluster via redis-cli following this instruction: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/memorydb/latest/devguide/getting-startedclusters.connecttonode.html
I created a new cluster with latest engine version 6.2 (with the same settings as the 3.2.6 one) and I can connect to it after these commands via redis-cli.
This is how I am connecting to it:
Any idea what am I missing?

Is there a way to change AWS ElastiCache Redis Version to 6.2?

My ElastiCache Redis version is on 6.0.5. But I want to use 6.2. According to AWS you can't specify the exact v6.x version.
I want to know if it's possible to upgrade it manually or something.
I’ve looked into this and was unable to find a way to use ElastiCache with Redis 6.2. Instead, I have deployed Redis in docker with ECS and Fargate in a Redis 6.2 dockerfile. Not as turnkey as ElastiCache though, I’m afraid.

Redis: Cluster To Cluster (another) Replication

Is there any mechanism to replicate the whole Redis cluster to another?
Example: I have Redis Cluster RC1 which has n master nodes and m slaves. I also have Redis Cluster RC2 with a similar configuration to RC1. Now I want to replicate data (whole/delta) from RC1 to RC2.

Why do we need Redis for running CKAN?

I was wondering why do we need Redis server for running CKAN.
If needed, why? And How do I configure it with CKAN?
p.s
I am running my ckan instance in RHEL7.
Update: Redis has been a requirement since CKAN 2.7, when a new system for asynchronous background jobs was introduced which relies on Redis. You can configure the Redis connection using the ckan.redis.url option.
Redis is not required for the current version of CKAN (2.6.2 at the time of this writing), it's not even mentioned in the CKAN 2.6.2 documentation.
However, the upcoming 2.7 release will require Redis for its new system of asynchronous background jobs. Redis will be configured using the new ckan.redis.url option.

Redis Cluster Support in Redis 2.8.19

I just started evaluating Redis. I am using Redis 2.8.19 which the most latest stable release. Redis 2.9 is still unstable and Redis 3.0 is just available for developer's preview (not recommended for production). I was tryin to setus a cluster of Redis and when I changed my redis.conf and appended
cluster-enabled yes
cluster-config-file nodes.conf
cluster-node-timeout 5000
and started my Redis server by
src/redis-server ./redis.conf
it gave me an error as follows
* FATAL CONFIG FILE ERROR *
Reading the configuration file, at line 2
'cluster-enabled yes'
Bad directive or wrong number of arguments
I googled the error and got to know that my version (2.8.19) does not support cluster. I was still unable to fine any such specification in Redis Docs. My question is simple. Does Redis 2.8.19 supports redis cluster configuration? Or I have to upgrade to Redis 2.9 or Redis 3.0. I am evaluating Redis because I need to deploy it in production. Please guide.
Redis Cluster support is only for versions >= 3.0.0. Redis 3.0.0 will be released as a stable version in a matter of days, it's a good idea to use it if you want to use Cluster. The cluster support is considered to be stable, however for it to be considered mature we want to see adoption. Btw there is already at least a very large site using it in production. Currently the most sane thing to do if you need Redis Cluster is to test it for your use case, and if it looks great, use it.
Redis cluster is supported only in Redis 3.0+ (which is now stable). I have written a simple API called "Simple Redis Cluster Client" which can be used in redis's sub 3.0 versions for running in a cluster like mode (Not precisely a cluster, it just distributes keys among redis nodes based on the key's hashcode, You can have a look # https://github.com/prash-mi/simple-redis-cluster-client
Cluster support for Redis is only from v3 - v2.8.19 doesn't do clustering.
