`redis-stack` method `revalidateTag` fails with redis error: `Could not parse field spec`

[eliassjogreen]

Brief Description of the Bug redis-stack logs Error: Could not parse field spec on other pods when running revalidateTags.

Severity Critical? Makes the redis-stack handler unusable

Frequency of Occurrence Always

Steps to Reproduce Provide detailed steps to reproduce the behavior, including any specific conditions or configurations where the bug occurs:

1. Use the default cache-handler.js from the k8s example
2. Start a k8s cluster with an external instance of Redis 7.4 and RedisJSON + RedisSearch
3. Call revalidateTag from a single of the nextjs pods
4. Observe how the other pods log Error: Could not parse field spec and fail to revalidate the tag

Expected vs. Actual Behavior I expect all of the pods to revalidate the tags and not log the Redis error: Error: Could not parse field spec. Seems to originate from RedisSearch IndexSpec_AddFieldsInternal method, but could not really track down what the issue actually is or why it happens.

Screenshots/Logs From pod which triggers revalidation:
