Merging with redis-rs

[mitsuhiko]

I want to know what can be done to avoid having two redis libraries in Rust. There is an open issue for futures support in redis-rs (redis-rs/redis-rs#103) so I would be happy to provide whatever help I can do to make this crate obsolete and redis-rs work with Tokio out of the box.

👍 Maybe we can chat more about this in IRC or Gitter to figure out a plan of action.

I honestly thought tokio-redis was more of a PoC on how tokio works

[carllerche]

It is just a PoC... but getting a real Tokio redis client would be valuable.

+1 I'm one looking for the most complete/stable redis client on the market that also plays well with the futures ecosystem
