This is a Redis wrapper to catch read failures so things don't fail when Redis is down. Run bin/console to try it out in an interactive prompt.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'safe_redis'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install safe_redis

Simply create a new SafeRedis object and pass in an existing Redis connection:

safe_redis = SafeRedis.new(Redis.new(url: url))

Any time a read call to Redis fails, SafeRedis responds as if the key doesn't exist. If a write call fails, SafeRedis raises whatever error Redis raised.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
