Cluster retry strategy and reconnection

[lueenavarro]

In a single instance redis, there is an option maxRetriesPerRequest which works.

However, if I am using a cluster, the only thing that works is clusterRetryStrategy:

    clusterRetryStrategy: (times) => {
      const retryLimit = 2;
      if (times < retryLimit) return Math.min(100 + times * 2, 2000);
      return false;
    },

It works but when I make another request, it says that the connection is closed. I read somewhere that is the intended behavior and you need to call cluster.connect() to restore the connection.

My question is how can I make sure that the connection is restored when another request is made? I could check if the cluster is connected on every request and if not, I will connect to it but that seems to be tedious. Is there a more elegant solution?

In summary, I want a to use the behavior of maxRetriesPerRequest in a clustered Redis.
