Dynamically update redis client properties

[siddharthgoel88]

In an application once we have initialised redis client with various Options parameters, what is the most viable and elegant way to update those properties? Currently, I am looking for connection-pool resizing but in general it would be very helpful (as well as interesting) to know what is the correct way to update the redis-client without application restart.

👍 I also wonder if we can update redis client properties on the fly. Yes I'm aware we can just override redisClient.Opts.Addr = "10.231.25.1:3009" on the fly but I wonder if this will take effect in the run time.

My situation is I want to add a service discovery for redis. Such that when the broker address changed, my web app get updated with the new address.

@vmihailenco Can you Help on this. Thanks 🙏

This is not supported and unlikely to be implemented (lots of work and not a popular feature). If you really need this you could store *redis.Client in atomic.Pointer and replace it when config changes.
