Allow storing raw strings, not the whole `Nebulex.Object.t()`

[Carlos Andres Bolaños R.A.]

Currently, bay default, all values except the counters are stored as Nebulex.Object.t() (before to put the data on Redis, the object is encoded as binary). The idea is to allow storing raw strings, not within the object, and improve the memory consumption for string data types.

[Carlos Andres Bolaños R.A.]

Proposed solution

Supporting for "data types" starting with strings. Two additional options:

• :dt - This option is for write-like operations like set, add, replace, set_many, etc., and allows to change how to store the data in Redis, for example, by default is the Nebulex object, but if we pass :string, there shouldn't be any encoding if the given value is a valid string.

• default_data_type - In order to avoid always passing the previous option for all write-like commands, we can change the default data type encoding globally.

By default, for both options the value is :object (the current behavior).

Usage Example

Cache.set("foo", "bar", dt: :string)

# the string dt is applied to all given values
Cache.set_many(%{"a" => "a", "b" => "b"}, dt: :string)

Globally:

config :my_app, MyApp.Cache,
  default_data_type: :string
