Redis Streams

[t3r-cni]

Note: I am very new to this library.
I am curious if there is any future plans to include streams into getting and receiving tasks from a queue.

It is possible it doesn't make sense with the current architecture. Am I correct in understanding that the way workers get and receive tasks is through a rest request? I wonder if there is a faster way to do this, like a stream.

@t3r-cni Thank you for opening a discussion! (And sorry for the delay in responding 🙏 )

Currently, I don't have plans to using Redis stream since current implementation of using Redis list, sorted-sets, etc works quite well for our use case.

Current implementation of worker polls redis list for pending tasks. Ideally we'd like to use BRPOPLPUSH command here to avoid polling but this command currently doesn't support watching multiple list (redis/redis#1785)
