Scalability - Redis Oplog

This package contains a preliminary implementation of cultofcoders:redis-oplog's namespaces to provide reactive scalability as an alternative to Meteor's livedata. Use of redis-oplog is not required and will not engage until you install the cultofcoders:redis-oplog package and configure it.

Due to the preliminary nature of this implementation, you may run into minor issues. Please report any issues you find to GitHub so that they can be fixed.
