Support of Redis 5+

[georgasa]

Hello,

are there any plans to support Redis 5.0 or higher?

Thank you, Apostolos

@georgasa I'm sorry the answer is no, we don't use Corvus in eleme anymore.

@tevino antirez was inspired by this project to anounce a new project redis-cluster-proxy (owned not by antirez himself), so it's clealy an alternative approach to adopt redis-cluster with the absence of offical, stable smart client. I'm wondering why eleme stopped Corvus development, and what's eleme using if not Covrus?

@patpatbear We rewrote it within the client-side sidecar for better server utilization.

[patpatbear]

is client-side sidecar like hiredis-vip , jedis ?

[tevino]

@patpatbear No, it's a separate process working at client-side, more like a home-brewed envoy.

[patpatbear]

Interesting.... are there any more details about the sidecar ? or are you planning to opensouce the sidecar ?

[tevino]

We are considering that, however, our sidecar sharing a lot of features with the existing envoy.

[patpatbear]

looking forward to you blogging or opensourcing the sidecar.
