No Reply Mode

For scenarios where the response from the redis server is not relevant to the client the noreply parameter can be passed to either the Redis or RedisCluster constructors which ensures the client does not wait for responses from the server and additionally sets CLIENT REPLY OFF (using the CLIENT-REPLY command) for any connection used by the client. This can provide some performance benefits.

For example:

import coredis

client = coredis.Redis(noreply=True)
assert await client.set("fubar", 1) is None
assert await client.hset("hash_fubar", {"a": 1, "b": 2}) is None

other_client = coredis.Redis()
assert await other_client.get("fubar") == b"1"
assert await other_client.hgetall("hash_fubar") == {b"a": b"1", b"b": b"2"}

The mode can also be enabled temporarily through the ignore_replies() context manager:

import coredis

client = coredis.Redis()

with client.ignore_replies():
    assert await client.set("fubar", 1) is None
assert await client.get("fubar") == b"1"

Danger

When the client is used with the the noreply option there are no guarantees if the command was successfully performed by the redis server. The only validation performed by coredis is on the parameters that are passed in and that the command was written to the socket.

Warning

Using the noreply option effectively ignores return annotations and will (probably) therefore fail any type checkers (static or runtime).
