[Feature Request] Redis retry_strategy

[dplewis]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If a redis server goes down the server will go down.

Describe the solution you'd like

Should auto connect based on number of attempts or timeout

Additional context

The redis node package already has this feature, here is an example taken from their docs.

var client = redis.createClient({
    retry_strategy: function (options) {
        if (options.error && options.error.code === 'ECONNREFUSED') {
            // End reconnecting on a specific error and flush all commands with
            // a individual error
            return new Error('The server refused the connection');
        }
        if (options.total_retry_time > 1000 * 60 * 60) {
            // End reconnecting after a specific timeout and flush all commands
            // with a individual error
            return new Error('Retry time exhausted');
        }
        if (options.attempt > 10) {
            // End reconnecting with built in error
            return undefined;
        }
        // reconnect after
        return Math.min(options.attempt * 100, 3000);
    }
});

@dplewis
doesn't configuring Redis with retry_strategy achieve the expected result?

[dplewis]

@georgesjamous RedisAdapter yes, but not for LiveQuery. I submitted a PR to make this configurable. Also check your email.
