Can the client be used by mutliple goroutines at a time ?

Hi,

Can a client be used from multiple goroutines concurrently ?
Also, to get the max out of redis, would you recommend to have multiple clients, or to set a higher pool size ?

Yes, *redis.Client is thread-safe, but *redis.Multi, *redis.Pipeline and *redis.PubSub are not (because I think that there is no compelling reasons to make them thread-safe).

Definitely bigger pool, though default pool size (10 connections) is big enough for most use cases.

Thx for the quick reply. Awesome work.

Is *redis.ClusterClient thread-safe ?
