What Hacker News says?
That's failover -- essentially Redis Sentinel. Redis Cluster on the other hand orchestrates multiple redis instances to function as one, thereby preventing the need for redis servers that are very large and preventing the need for presharding[1].

HN discussionThis is false, the writer of THE book on MySQL tuning (Jeremy Zawodny) is also the guy that is/has converted CraigsList to MongoDB from MySQL. But let me interrupt your propaganda. We wouldn't want to address the reality that not all data and work sets can fit well in a relational database. Example: http://blog.zawodny.com/2010/05/22/mongodb-early-impressions...
