Does using Elasticsearch as key value cache like redis makes sense

I have recently encountered a question that since redis is not distributed and don't support parallelism(multi-core), isn't elastic search be a better choice to use instead of redis for caching purpose. This is all in reference to a simple web, where we used redis to cache db query. I have kind of got the idea here, but still not sure whether it has any real benefits. Opening up this thread to discuss the advantages/disadvantages in doing so.

It's not really what you asked for but you might want to have a look at Aerospike.

Redis is an in-memory data structure store known for speed and often used as a cache. Both Redis and Aerospike are open source, however, when applications need persistence or when applications must scale but servers have maxed out of RAM, developers should consider Aerospike, a distributed key-value store that is just as fast or faster than Redis, but scales more simply and with the economics of flash/SSDs.
