I am using master-slave in redis. So when master goes down the slave become new master and when the old master comes up it becomes slave for new master. So i want to know wheather there is a way that whenever the original master comes up again instead of becoming slave it should become master and new master shld become slave. So is this possible??

Hi @brishi19791

I don't have the know-how to answer your question, but I did see this bit when I was perusing the CONTRIBUTING file.

You might have better luck asking on the subreddit or stackoverflow.

To answer the question: no, there is no automatic way. You could trigger a failover once the old master is back. However, additional failovers are often not what you really want.

Apart from that:
