Adding redis oplog to an existing production environment

Does anyone have experience adding redis oplog to an existing production deployment? What are the potentiall “gotchas” here. We’re hosting in AWS EC2 with self-hosted mongo too and would do the same thing with redis. We have a handfull of processes that modify the DB from outside of Meteor, I already know we’ll need to update these to notify redis of the change, but is there anything else?

What happens if a redis server goes down, do you just lose reactivity, or do you lose the ability to read too?

I don’t have an answer for you, but will +1 the question. Keen to know of potential gotchas as well…
