RedisKeyRegistrationHandler: READONLY You can't write against a read only replica following Redis Sentinel failover

[quantranhong1999]

Why

Given Redis Sentinel mode, a master node is down, and failover is trigger: other Redis node become the new master.

RedisKeyRegistrationHandler is not smart enough and still tries to write to the old master node:

We need to try to make it smarter: following the Redis failover, it should write to the new master node.

Maybe that's your explanation...
