Redis For Mac

Redis is a free and open source key-value database, often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.

Redis is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists and sets with atomic operations to push/pop elements.

In order to be very fast but at the same time persistent the whole dataset is taken in memory and from time to time and/or when a number of changes to the dataset are performed it is written asynchronously on disk.

You may lost the last few queries that is acceptable in many applications but Redis is as fast as an in memory DB (beta 6 of Redis comes with initial support for master-slave replication in order to solve this problem by redundancy).

Compression and other interesting features are a work in progress. Redis is written in ANSI C and works in most POSIX systems like Mac OS X, Linux, *BSD, and so on.

Both libs are actively developed and good quality, I suggest you to check both. Also note that JRedis plans to release support for asynchronous communication between the client and Redis. · Scala bindings for Redis are available in this Git repository, thanks to Alejandro Crosa.
