How can I handle errors in a Go Redis cluster?

To handle errors in a Go Redis cluster, you should implement proper error checking after each Redis command. This includes checking for connection errors, command execution errors, and handling specific Redis errors like redis.Nil.

What are some common errors I might encounter?

Common errors include connection timeouts, redis.Nil when a key does not exist, and cluster slot errors. It's important to log these errors for debugging.

How can I retry commands after an error?

You can implement a retry mechanism using a loop that attempts to execute the command again after a brief pause. Make sure to limit the number of retries to avoid infinite loops.

Is there a library that can help with error handling?

Yes, the go-redis library has built-in support for handling errors and retries. You can configure it to automatically retry commands on certain errors.
