Answer 1

Today the first Release Candidate for Redis 3.0.0 has been released, which includes a stable version of Clustering: http://redis.io/download.

Answer 2

[Update] Redis Cluster was released in Redis 3.0.0 on 1 Apr 2015.

Redis cluster is currently in active development. See this article from Redis author: Antirez.

So I can pause other incremental improvements for a bit to focus on Redis Cluster. Basically my plan is to work mostly to cluster as long as it does not reach beta quality, and for beta quality I mean, something that brave users may put into production.

Redis Cluster will support up to ~1000 nodes.

The first release will have the following features (extracted from Antirez post):

1. Automatic partition of key space.
2. Hot resharding.
3. Only single key operations supported (and it will always be that way).

As of today antirez is working on the first Redis cluster client (redis-rb-cluster) in order to be used as a reference implementation.

I'll update this answer as soon as Redis Cluster goes production ready.

[Update] 03/28/2014 Redis Cluster is already used on large cluster in production (source: antirez tweets).
