Sidekiq with Redka

[retorted]

Hey, do you have any plans to implement some of the missing methods from the Redis interface, like BRPOP?

[nalgeon]

No current plans. Why?

jpcamara shared important context about BRPOP:

But there are a lot of folks in the rails community that want SQLite only, but it would be interesting to still be able to use a robust tool like Sidekiq, which requires Redis, so I did try it out but it failed in part due to needing BRPOP

[retorted]

Yeah I was trying out Redka to see how it worked and I pointed Sidekiq at it as a test, but hit several errors for missing commands; HELLO, BRPOP, and UNLINK.

I'm going to reopen the issue and rename it to make it clear that the main problem is compatibility with Sidekiq.

Supporting HELLO and UNLINK is easy, but BRPOP could be challenging since it requires a completely different way of interacting with clients. I'll check it out when I have time.
