In its initial implementation, the Geode compatibility with Redis API provides a hybrid clustering mode whereby clients can connect to any node and interact as with a standalone Redis server. This, however, does not provide true clustering as it does not expose the functionality for existing cluster-capable clients to make use of data sharding and high availability. This proposal aims to provide that support. In addition, the current approach is not very performant as any given key access may require multiple network hops.

Anti-Goals

We will not provide the ability to operate in either a pure cluster mode or hybrid mode. Cluster mode will be the only mode. (This would not preclude non-cluster clients capable of interpreting MOVED responses from working).
