Any plans for support for other data types? about cache HOT 6 CLOSED

I don't have such plans and it is not clear how hash/set can be useful for caching.

It seems like it would be useful to cache hash/set values for same reason it's useful to cache string values: to avoid a trip to redis for every read.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

I am not sure what you mean - an example may help...

from cache.

I think I might have slightly misunderstood this library on first glance.

I understood that the primary use of this library was to add a process local cache in front of redis.

cache := &cache.Cache{Redis: redisClient}

var result map[string]interface{}
err := cache.Get(ctx, "some-key", &result) // requires a round trip to redis

At another call point, a round trip to redis could be avoided

var otherResult map[string]interface{}
err := cache.Get(ctx, "some-key", &otherResult) // does not require a round trip to redis, since the value is cached locally

I imagined that this could be applicable to other data structure.

No, this is a key/value cache based on Redis, not for Redis.

I now understand why my initial comment didn't make much sense. Sorry for wasting your time!
