Description

in v3, calling send_command with hGetall command would result in a return of format

{
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value2",
}

in v4, sendCommand with "hGetAll" returns ["key1", "value1", "key2", "value2"]. This seems like a breaking change between the versions that wasn't listed

Seems like running client.HGETALL however returns in object format. Is there a method to coerce the sendCommand return to be formatted correctly?

Environment:

  • Node.js Version: 16.13.2
  • Redis Server Version: Redis 6.2.6
  • Node Redis Version: 4.0.4
  • Platform: MacOS 12.1

Research direction

Start at the sendCommand path for HGETALL and compare it with the client.HGETALL entry point named in the report. Check how v3 and v4 represent the command result and look for related tests or migration guidance. Done means the expected return behavior or supported coercion is established and covered by a regression test or clear documentation.
