[FEATURE] Flexibility to set socket_timeout for each request to redis (original) (raw)

Hi @sewenew
I'm using RedisCluster and running into the situation that different socket_timeout values for each request are needed:

• When a redis instance is going down, I need the socket_timeout small enough to return the error immediately.
• When triggering a redis command that takes long time to finished, I need another socket_timeout value that long enough to wait for the reply.

The socket_timeout value will be decided by application. However, it looks like that we can not adjust the socket_timeout for each redis request for now.
It would be great that we can support this feature. How do you think?
