Overview

Jondis is a high availability pool management class for the excellent https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py

Features

• Slave discovery on startup
• On master failure, if a slave is promoted, the pool will reconfigure to connect to the new master

Limitations

• Currently all commands are sent to the master
• No master discovery if only a slave server is provided
• In certain scenarios, the pool will pick up new slaves (if it's reconfigured), but there's currently no periodic / automatic slave discovery
• Does not talk to sentinel

Requirements

redis-py

Usage

In order to configure the pool, you'll need to provide at least 1 active master server. This is a limitation that will be lifted soon with master discovery.

from jondis.pool import Pool
pool = Pool(hosts=["redis01:6379","redis02:6379"])
redis = redis_lib.client.StrictRedis(connection_pool=pool)
