Description

Hello,

We are migrating our Redis workloads to RE Active-Active databases and it seems we have to prepare our applications for that as per https://docs.redislabs.com/latest/rs/references/developing-for-active-active/region-application-failover-active-active/. The gist is that the application/client is expected to handle failure detection, failover and failback. I was wondering whether SE.Redis supports that or could support that. I was unsuccessful in finding any information or experiences with SE.Redis and Active-Active databases.

Since we are going to have to handle this anyway I am willing to contribute a PR but I will require guidance as how to approach this in SE.Redis. What would this entail?

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Redis Enterprise Active-Active failover documentation and reviewing the SE.Redis client architecture. Identify where failure detection, failover, and failback would belong, then seek maintainer guidance on the intended scope. Done should mean documented and tested out-of-the-box support for the described Active-Active behavior.
