Lumen + HHVM + Predis = :(

Hi All,

I'm having trouble setting up Lumen to work with Redis as the cache driver.

Basically I have it working fine with PHPFPM, but when I swap fpm out as cgi for hhvm everything works except for the redis connection. I believe that this is actually a Predis issue, as outlined in https://github.com/nrk/predis/issues/254

In the meantime, how can I go about substituting the Predis dependency for something that works (ideally based on the redis extension that HHVM autoloads).

My latest code relating to this issue is at https://github.com/nglume/nglume/tree/feature/hippidy-hop and the endpoint testing the feature is GET /test/cache/cacheTest which is https://github.com/nglume/nglume/blob/feature/hippidy-hop/api/app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php : line 82
