Is Ring possible with Cluster Client?

[Ghilteras]

Hi there, I use go-redis to connect to our Elasticache cluster of 10 shards and we noticed that our keys are hashes to slots in a way that we end up hammering the primary of the same 2 shards while the other shards and their nodes remain largely idle. To rebalance our traffic and spread the keys better we were considering to switch to a consistent hashing approach, but it looks like the Ring implementation of go-redis does not accept a ClusterClient, but just a regular Client with the shard lists and I don't understand why is that? Am I missing something?

@Ghilteras you are not missing anything, the Ring is implemented as an alternative to the cluster client. You may want help the distribution of you keys by using Hash Tags https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/reference/cluster-spec/#hash-tags
