How to use redis with gearman for persistence

How can I use Gearman with redis for persistent queue?

I am trying to run it for centos7. I have Gearman working. On running 

gearmand -h

I can see support for libsqlite3, Postgres, libtokyocabinet and MySQL.

I've installed hiredis using yum as per various forums although i cant figure out how to run it through terminal. I downloaded tar file for gearman and tried running this command inside the gearman folder to no avail.

./configure --enable-FEATURE sql

  • To build gearmand with hiredis persistence queue you have to install libhiredis-devel on CentOS or libhiredis-dev on Debian/Ubuntu package.

    Insure ./configure --enable-hiredis output contains

    checking hiredis/hiredis.h usability... yes
checking hiredis/hiredis.h presence... yes
checking for hiredis/hiredis.h... yes
checking for main in -lhiredis... yes

    To run gearmand with redis as queue type, run: gearmand --verbose DEBUG --queue-type redis
