To elaborate, if I am creating multiple processors (eg: Akka Actors) that need to interact with Redis, can I reuse the RedisClient instance or should each processor spawn it's own instance?

RedisClients should not be shared between threads, and there is a RedisClientPool provided with the library to facilitate safe concurrent programming.

See "Using Client Pooling" in the readme
