Laravel: clearing one cache store clears all

In my Laravel application, I have multiple cache stores, all using Redis, defined like so:

// config/cache.php
'stores' => [
    ...
    'geo-index' => [
        'driver' => 'redis',
    ],

    'batches' => [
        'driver' => 'redis',
    ],
    ...
],

Which does work... kinda... If I look inside Redis KEYS *, I do get everything stored, however, I can't distinguish which value is in which store (by looking at key prefix), also, more importantly, no matter how I clear one store:

# like so
php artisan cache:clear <store>

#or so
cache()->store($store)->clear();

all stores get cleared, and Redis KEYS * returns an empty array.

I need this in order to be able to clear one set of data while keeping others.

Am I using this wrongly? or am I missing something here?

As all of your Cache stores are using Redis, when you use clear() or flush() it will clear all Redis cache. Instead, you can define a single Redis cache in stores array and use Tags to group your cache and remove them at your convenience. For example to store items in geo-index, use:

Cache::store('redis')->tags(['geo-index'])->put('foo', 'bar');

to remove all cache tagged as geo-index, use:

Cache::store('redis')->tags(['geo-index'])->flush();
