Cache Prefix Setting

[MordantWastrel]

A terribly handy feature of the Ortus Redis connector is the ability to specify a cache prefix on a per-cache basis. The use case here is if we have several instances of an application and we want some cache data shared between them (in which case we'd use the same or no prefix) and other cache data to be unique to the instance.

This would be specified in the custom properties for the cache definition in Application.cfc (and Lucee admin, though we do all this stuff in Application.cfc).

I would want the cache prefix very much.
Currently the caches are mixed up between my two applications.
Is there another way to solve it except having two Redis databases?

We contacted LAS last October to try and sponsor this (and other) updates to this extension and they did not respond. I would try the Ortus extension: https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/redis-lucee

For anyone interested, John Berquist's fork of this extension supports cache prefixes:
