This is pretty much the direction of all specialty database providers (MongoDB, Redis) are moving into. Everyone wants to be able to query datasets across enterprise. I bet is Redis Stack will soon querying against support Parquet or ORC files. Then connector to traditional databases like PG, MySQL, Oracle, etc.. Throw in some AI modeling. In a way, this is a marketing play to stay relevant in the enterprise space.

Redis as a pure in-memory store (caching) engine just doesn't make as much money as "analytic system". I don't have a problem with this as they have to make money somehow.
