haystack-redis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Whoosh storage engine using redis for persistence. A Haystack
``SearchBackend`` subclass is also provided. Normally the ``STORAGE`` key could
just be set but Haystack 2.0.0beta is only aware of ``file`` and ``ram``
backends.
This is especially useful for small sites hosted on Heroku, which does not allow
writing to local disk. The ``REDISTOGO_URL`` environment variable is read,
falling back to the localhost default port.
Code is based on maxpert_’s snippet (see blog post_)
