Redis Exec Retry

This module wraps the execute_command method of the Redis class, allowing any retry passed to be used. It also introduces a new Backoff, LimitedTimeBackoff, allowing one to set a timeout before which the BackoffTimeoutExceeded is raised.

The purpose of the module is to provide an alternative to the official redis app, as we await an update to hanlding timeout errors.

Usage

Provide a retry to the Redis class which shall be used later.

Examples

import redis
import socket
import redis_exec_retry

max_seconds = 2
backoff_instance = redis.backoff.ExponentialBackoff()
retry = redis.retry.Retry(
    backoff=redis_exec_retry.LimitedTimeBackOff(max_seconds, backoff_instance=backoff_instance),
    retries=-1,
    supported_errors=(
        redis.exceptions.BusyLoadingError,
        redis.exceptions.ConnectionError,
        redis.exceptions.TimeoutError,
        socket.timeout,
    ),
)
r = redis_exec_retry.Redis(port=1000, retry=retry)
print(r.keys("*"))  # will run for 2 seconds before raising redis_exec_retry.BackoffTimeoutExceeded
