Actually, I don't see any reinvention of Erlang's core features here:

- Erlang: a functional language based on actor model that allows to create distributed applications easily as actors don't share state (plus much more that I won't mention here for the sake of brevity). To share state among various Erlang clusters you have to use something like Mnesia (bundled with Erlang stdlib) or Riak (distributed database built using Erlang).

- Redis Cluster: a way to distribute state among multiple Redis (a simple database application) nodes in a manner transparent for the applications using Redis.
