why is this still in a PR ?, isn't it needed anymore ?

kenn commented 6 years ago

This PR is taken from https://github.com/kenn/redis-mutex/issues/5#issuecomment-14598578 but at this point, I'd prefer LUA scripting just like Redlock.

Why locks in Lua? is also worth reading.

I'll keep this PR open just for reference, but we need a fresh view. New PRs are welcomed.

Is this still an issue?

kenn commented 5 years ago

Yep. Still waiting for a PR.

krtschmr commented 5 years ago

@kenn so we should not use this for financial applications that rely on correct locks? asking for a friend :)

kenn commented 5 years ago

Probably not.

krtschmr commented 5 years ago

recommend any alternative?

casiodk commented 5 years ago

Hi, we would like to use this gem,but unsure if its still active?

We have also run into the stalling in non blocking mode issue
