redisSetTimeout?

[r2evans]

Is it feasible to add redisSetTimeout (from hiredis) as an option to most calls? I'm specifically looking at the $subscribe model, where I'm a little daunted by

NOTE: you need to be careful here - hiredis internally uses a blocking read which cannot be interrupted with Ctrl-C once started unless a message is received on the channels being listened to!

Shallow research suggests that it generally can be used before redisGetReply ... admittedly I'm not certain if that's used for most redis verbs.

@richfitz, are you still maintaining this package? I don't expect immediate discussion or code changes for issues, but it's been a long time since you committed something to the master branch. Thanks!

Hi @r2evans - yes, still maintaining the package, but it's in a state where it basically does everything I need and so I've not felt the need to change it. I tend not to see github notifications unfortunately (and especially not this year).

If you want to contribute a PR for this, I'd gladly review/merge it. I'd suggest putting the timeout into the redis configuration so it's taken and validated just once, and then passed through via redisGetReply wherever needed.

If you're not in a position to do this, I will see this issue next time I do some redux work, though I can't say when that would be.
