How to not wait connection for get command

[mogadanez]

I'm using Redis as an optional cache layer.
if its failed to connect - it is wait infinitely on GET command and not

tried to set commandsQueueMaxLength:0

is it any other way to change behavior to fail on operations if its not yet connected?
or in worse case specify operation timeout

Environment:

• Node.js Version: 14
• Redis Server Version: 6.0.5
• Node Redis Version: 4.0.3
• Platform: Mac OS 12

Experiencing the same issue where client.get hangs infinitely (node-redis version ^4.0.0)

@mogadanez @NathanielWroblewski dose the new disableOfflineQueue feature solves this issue? (it's not in npm yet)

dose the new disableOfflineQueue feature solves this issue?

It helps but it's still not straightforward to configure this client as an optional cache layer. Ideally the client would reconnect in parallel to returning failures on get/set but currently it seems like get/set still block on some of the reconnectStrategy's attempts so the redis client can actually add latency to a request rather than speeding up data accesses (depending on the number used for the reconnect timeout).

@mnoorenberghe sorry for the huge delay... when disableOfflineQueue is true, when the socket disconnects all the commands in the queue will be rejected immediately.
