No way to execute an arbitrary command on a pipeline

[yurymann]

Pipeline.exectute() shadows ConnectionsPool.execute() and RedisConnection.execute().
As the result, one cannot execute arbitrary commands in a pipeline.
I use Redisearch module and need to execute multiple commands like "FT.DEL" in a row, but cannot use pipelining.

In redis-py, the method to execute a command is called Redis.execute_command(), which ensures there is no clash.

Happy to be told that there is a way of doing this in aioredis.

Thanks

Bump? Any way to do this ?

[yurymann]

@gdassori I worked it around by putting my pipelines into a LUA script which can be executed in a pipeline. You could probably monkey-patch it, I didn't try.

It's pretty sad that this project, being the best maintained asyncio redis client, has been stale since December 2019.

@yurymann @gdassori

Maintenance for this project is back on! I have limited time but am working to get tickets like these triaged and merged in. See #822.

The next release will be a breaking change, so I'm open to someone doing as @yurymann said and renaming the Connection/ConnectionPool method to execute_command.

This has been resolved as of #891.
