Process hangs when the remote server is running but doesn't allow you to access.

I'm using redis_cache something like this

from redis_cache import get_redis_connection
from rq import Queue

try:
    queue = Queue(connection=get_redis_connection('db'))
    queue.enqueue(some_action, some_data)
except Exception:
    do_something_else(some_data)

I was expecting a ConnectionError or some other exceptions when the remote server refused me to access, but the program just didn't respond anything.

I set the timeout in the caches settings, but it also not work.

"db": {
    "BACKEND": "redis_cache.cache.RedisCache",
        "LOCATION": "127.0.0.1:6379:2",
        "TIMEOUT": 120,
        "OPTIONS": {
            "CLIENT_CLASS": "redis_cache.client.DefaultClient",
        }
    },

Could someone give a clue about this?

Hi!

After django-redis 3.x, the default behavior is the same as memcached backend, to have the previous behavior, see this: https://django-redis.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#extra-settings-added-by-django-redis

If you see if this not works correctly, notify me please.

In any case, get_redis_connection returns a native redis client from "redis-py" package and settings added by django-redis should not have efect over it. :S

Hi @niwibe

Thank you for your reply, I think I put this in the wrong place, because the hang problem happens when I do the 'enqueue' action.

Sorry for the trouble again!
