This can be a bit tricky, because in Redis each key can have its own data type, and we need to use specific commands with each data type to get the value out. What does your existing structure look like? If you're using string values (which can be read with the redis `GET` command), do you have any encoding layers? (e.g., JSON and/or gzip)?
