Consider adding a simple Redis SessionRepository implementation

[vpavic]

A lot of complexity in RedisOperationsSessionRepository is focused around support for Servlet API's HttpSessionEvent. Since many of users do not actually use session events, we can consider providing an alternative, simpler implementation of Redis based SessionRepository that wouldn't support session event handling.

I am very very interested in a simpler repo which doesn't use any events/messaging (pub/sub REDIS stuff) because we have Dynomite over REDIS to insure the cross datacente replication and Dynomite doesn't support pub/sub :)
I tried to do it myself but I am stuck in an issue around redefining the sessionRepository bean with my custom implementation.
I ask on gitter and stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55818188/custom-spring-session-repository-redis-with-dynomite) for help with no solution.
If anyone can help me, it would be great.

I have difficulties to override the sessionRepository implementation from org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-redis with my custom one.

I tried to set up a config class such as :

@Configuration
@EnableRedisHttpSession
public class SessionConfig extends AbstractHttpSessionApplicationInitializer {

    @Bean
    @Primary
    public SessionRepository sessionRepository() {
        return new RedisDynoSessionRepository();
    }
}

And the signature of my Custom Implementation of the SessionRepository is :

public class RedisDynoSessionRepository implements
        FindByIndexNameSessionRepository<RedisDynoSessionRepository.RedisSession> {

I tried to put the override bean configuration (spring.main.allow-bean-definition-overriding=true) or not with no success.
