Support for Replica-Only Read Commands with Sentinel in Rueidis?

[MAM-SYS]

Hi,
I've been following the discussions around the ReplicaOnly flag and its implementation in this package. We're currently migrating from go-redis to rueidis, and I'm trying to understand how to replicate a specific behavior we relied on.

In go-redis, there's a NewFailoverClusterClient function that allows you to create a Sentinel-based client, and it has an option to route all readable commands to replicas. But at the same time we can use this client to send write command to master node. This setup was quite helpful for scaling reads.

Is there an equivalent feature or recommended approach for achieving this in rueidis?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi @MAM-SYS,

A sentinel client with the ReplicaOnly option set will send all the commands to one of the replicas.
If you have some commands to be sent to the master then you need to use another sentinel client without the ReplicaOnly option being set. Currently, there is no RouteRandomly equivalent for the sentinel client implementation.

With https://github.com/redis/rueidis/releases/tag/v1.0.62, the SendToReplicas option now works with sentinel clients. There is no need to use 2 clients for reads and writes.

I appreciate you keeping me informed with this update
