Is there a way to use ElastiCache read replicas

[dzvancuks]

I'm experimenting with horizontal scaling of our app without cluster mode. AWS ElastiCache supports up to 5 read replicas with one read/write primary node.

Question: how to use read replicas with go-redis library?

I've tried different client modes that go-redis library provides:

• NewClusterClient can't be used in non-cluster mode. Error like "ERR This instance has cluster support disabled" is returned
• NewSentinelClient/NewFailoverClient can't be used as Sentinel commands are not available: "ERR unknown command 'sentinel', with args beginning with: 'get-master-addr-by-name' 'master'"

The only approach worked so far is to use 2 or more NewClient connections. And then manually decide which commands goes where. I'm using a hook inside primary client connection for that. However it is not reliable, need much of manual checks and custom code.

Is there a better way? Is there built in solution?
