Does redis.Client have auto reconnecting? Can I use more than one sentinel?

[lxyscls]

Hi, I am a newbie for Go.

• Is there any auto reconnecting on redis.Client?

• If I have more than one sentinel, do i need to create multi sentinel.Client, then loop each sentinel, call GetMaster? Is there any auto mechanism to get redis.Client from sentinel bulk?

Appreciate your reply!

Hi @lxyscls! To directly answer your questions:

• No, Client doesn't do auto-reconnecting. That sort of behavior is handled by wherever you got the Client from (e.g. pool or sentinel or cluster. You shouldn't ever really have to think extra about reconnection. No matter what you should expect that any Cmd call could return an error, either from the Client being disconnected or the redis instance simply being down.

• No, the sentinal.Client doesn't currently support multiple sentinel instances.

To give a more helpful answer to your second question, I'd recommend checking out radix.v3, which has a sentinel client which does support multiple instances, and which is just better in general :)
