The primary goal of this component is realize Zend\Cache\Backend\AbstractBackend interface for Redis and allow use it natively from Zend Framework, also integrate into Zend\Cache\Cache factory method

• auto serialization/unserialization data
• allow put data by key
• allow get data by key
• allow delete data by key
• infinite lifetime support
