I find myself in new territory, Foreign Data Wrappers (FDW). I stumble
closer to success through the documentation, youtube videos, and various
google resources. But I've come across a concept that intrigues me very
deeply.

If I understand the concepts correctly, FDW not only makes other databases
available, FDW also offers access to .csv files, plain text, or just about
anything that can be bullied into some kind of query-able order. Has anyone
ever tried to connect to redis or elasticache? If so, how did it work out?

Regards,
Gus

Looks like it's been done:

(No warranty expressed or implied on the quality of these
particular FDWs.)
