Hi Girish, Welcome. Have a search of the history of the mailing list here. There was one, or a couple of (?) threads on adding a Redis backend recently (last year or two).
>From the "Why Redis" section of your proposal, I think the answer is simply that lots of users (most in fact according the recent survey) are using Redis for caching, and we a should have a backend in core for that. The scope is JUST to satisfy the cache backend API, and no more. It's a non-goal to deal with any other Redis features, so various data structures and such is not relevant. (Third-party packages would could offer things in this space.) For the work breakdown compare the recent PR adding the pymemcache backend. #29887 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29887>— the project would be similar in scope. The ground here is well-trodden, so most of it is documentation — we need to be very clear on requirements, installation and setup. I hope that helps.
