haystack-redis 0.0.1

Use redis as a persistence layer for Whoosh and Haystack

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 2.0.0alpha 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.

Usage

Configure your Haystack connections in settings.py:

import tempfile
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'haystack_redis.RedisEngine',
        'PATH': tempfile.gettempdir(),
    },
}
