redis
Optimization idea: send GET to individual cluster shards instead of MGET when possible.
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Good news: I heard that lettuce is quite clever, and it can take MGET and multiplex it into a bunch of different shards. Bad news: It seems like when lettuce does this, it means MGET on a single key become a much more common scenario - especially if the client was not being sensitive to cluster sharding in their design.
Describe the solution you'd like
Good news: There's a semi-simple optimization for this - just send GET instead of MGET under the hood, when possible. This can save client and server resources, when it works, improving throughput and latency.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The main alternative I see is not doing this optimization, because its deemed overcomplicated.... or doing it in a more general way.
Teachability, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy
If you can, explain how users will be able to use this and possibly write out a version the docs. Maybe a screenshot or design?
Sounds good. We haven't considered using GET in a case where MGET slot hash splitting would yield a single key to be fetched.
