Symfony Application (OroCommerce) appears to be using file cache after configuring SncRedis - symfony

Question

I am new to Symfony and I am jumping into the deep end with OroCommerce. I thought I had successfully setup SncRedis (solely based on the fact that the app quit throwing errors at me). However, now that the app is completely setup and installed, I can see that file-based cache is still being generated.
I have a config.yml in place as well as a config_prod.yml but it seems that config_prod.yml only extends the config.yml so I don't think there are any conflicts in config_prod.yml.

You can install OroRedisConfigBundle that have snc/redis-bundle in dependency Instead. After that to work with redis you need to add 4 lines in parameters.yml of your application like:
session_handler: 'snc_redis.session.handler'
redis_dsn_session: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0'
redis_dsn_cache: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6380/0'
redis_dsn_doctrine: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6380/1'
Don't forget to clear application cache.
And about cache folder (app/cache/prod for example). For Symfony applications it always be even if you enable redis.
