  That's different.  Writing arbitrary attributes *to* a database is easier than reading them from a database.

  So set the expiration time per cache entry.  The module supports that.

  You don't need redis to cache data.

  Except that's not possible in 3.0.  That's why I suggested the cache module.

  You can't.

a) use the cache module in 3.0

b) use 3.1

c) write a custom Perl script which uses redis as a back-end to cache attributes

  Pick one.
