Reconnecting blocks whole app.

[aviatrix]

I'm testing the auto reconnect features of ioredis, and i've noticed that everytime ioredis looses connection to the redis server (non cluster, non sentinel), it blocks everything for 1 minute per ioredis request.
I've managed to cut that down to 1 second by tweaking maxRetriesPerRequest = 1 and retryStrategy to 1s minimum, but when my http request do 10-20-100 redis requests (unable to bundle those into mget unfortunately) this slows down everything?

Can i make ioredis reconnect in the background naively, without having to implement custom logic?

Anyone has any ideas/clues how to prevent blocking?

Sorry for the late response.

You can set maxRetriesPerRequest to 0 so that commands will be rejected when the connection is lost, but the connection will keep reconnecting.
