This is no longer needed: redis/redis-rb#550 (comment)

Adds support for Elasticache failover to the Ruby driver of the redis-rb gem. Elasticache replication groups can transparently promote a new node to master, but TCP connections are persistent. This patch makes READONLY error messages from Redis get handled like a connection error instead of a command error so redis-rb will self heal the connection and run the command against the new master node.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

In your gemfile

gem 'redis-elasticache'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install redis-elasticache

In an environment that is backed by an Elasticache Replication Group.

require 'redis/elasticache/failover'
