Currently, NiFi support for Redis is in the form of the RedisDistributedMapCacheClientService, so you can use FetchDistributedMapCache and PutDistributedMapCache to get data in and out of Redis. Check the documentation for the Redis service as it may not use the same directives as you were expecting, so I'm not sure if this will be sufficient for your use case or not.

An alternative is to use a scripting processor such as ExecuteScript or InvokeScriptedProcessor, you can point the Module Directory property to the Redis client JARs and basically write your own "mini-processor" in a language like Groovy or Jython to interact with Redis how you wish.
