@EnableRedisRepositories - What is the use of in Spring Data Redis?

Question

I search a lot over web to get more practical usage of @EnableRedisRepositories, but I did not found any. Even in my Spring Boot + Spring Data Redis example, I removed @EnableRedisRepositories but still I did not understood what difference it make, still I can see data is persisting into DB and retrieving fine.

Can somebody please clarify ?

I went through this annotation, but not every clear..

Annotation to activate Redis repositories. If no base package is configured through either {@link #value()}, {@link #basePackages()} or {@link #basePackageClasses()} it will trigger scanning of the package of annotated class.

It lets Spring scan your packages for repository classes/interfaces and then use Redis as the storage to persist your objects to - instead of a classic relational database.

Spring Data docs tell us:

NoSQL storage systems provide an alternative to classical RDBMS for horizontal scalability and speed. In terms of implementation, key-value stores represent one of the largest (and oldest) members in the NoSQL space.

The Spring Data Redis (SDR) framework makes it easy to write Spring applications that use the Redis key-value store by eliminating the redundant tasks and boilerplate code required for interacting with the store through Spring’s excellent infrastructure support.

Even data is persisting into redis without this annotation and adding this annotation doesn't make any difference. Any other pointers? – Jeff Cook Nov 21 '18 at 17:47
Perhaps you are using Spring Boot with spring-boot-starter-data-redis? – Hero Wanders Nov 21 '18 at 18:25
Right. We're using this only. `spring-boot-starter-data-redis` fetches the `Spring Data Redis` version – Jeff Cook Nov 22 '18 at 06:23
