I’m just starting to dive into JCache and usage with Paraya. I do see that Payara has preconfigured support for Hazelcast. Since I’m already running Redis in my stack, it would be nice to use Redis instead of adding another server to maintain. Enter [Redisson](https://github.com/redisson/redisson), the JCache compliant Redis client. Has anyone configured Payara to use Redisson? Would it be similar to what’s currently in place for Hazelcast?

Redisson has a couple blog posts [here](https://redisson.org/feature-comparison-redis-vs-hazelcast.html) and [here](https://redisson.org/hazelcast-replacement-why-redisson-is-the-best-hazelcast-alternative.html) comparing the two.
