Problems with long running connections

[tarjei]

Hi, I'm using SNC Redis with multiple connections - default is for things I care about, while cache is for things that may die.

Now, my problem is that when I use the default connection (blocking on blpop) together with a second connection for the cache, the cache blows up when blpop returns and I start using the cache since the cache connection has timed out.

Should I use connection_persister:true here or is there another parameter I should use ?

I'm not sure if persistent connections help here. Do you have to connect to the cache before running BLPOP?

@tarjei I ran into the same problem but only with phpredis (version 2.2.4), predis works perfectly fine. My temporary workaround for now was to set connection_timeout manually and make sure the blpop commands don't exceed the time integer in the configuration.

I think this issue can be closed because it is very old and the issue did not occur again for 2-3 years.
