define( 'WP_REDIS_SCHEME', 'unix' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PATH', '/var/run/redis.sock' );
, (*13)
Connecting over TCP+TLS
, (*14)
define( 'WP_REDIS_SCHEME', 'tls' );

Scaling
Redis Object Cache offers various replication, sharding, cluster and sentinel setups to users with advanced technical knowledge of Redis and PHP, that have consulted the Predis, PhpRedis or Relay documentation., (*19)
Relay
, (*20)
Relay is a next-generation cache that keeps a partial replica of Redis' dataset in PHP's memory for ridiculously fast lookups, especially when Redis Server is not on the same machine as WordPress., (*21)
define( 'WP_REDIS_CLIENT', 'relay' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PORT', 6379 );
// when using Relay, each WordPress installation
// MUST a dedicated Redis database and unique prefix
define( 'WP_REDIS_DATABASE', 0 );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PREFIX', 'db3:' );
// consume less memory
define( 'WP_REDIS_IGBINARY', true );
