Multiple codecs requires multiple connections?

[apanloco]

Hey!

I am reading/writing data in Redis using four codecs:

• <String, byte[]> with gzip
• <String, byte[]> plain, no gzip
• <String, String> with gzip
• <String, String> plain, no gzip

(Just to be super clear, with gzip I mean something like this: https://github.com/lettuce-io/lettuce-core/blob/main/src/main/java/io/lettuce/core/codec/CompressionCodec.java)

As I understand the API i need four different connections to do be able to use four different codecs. Is this correct? Or is there some way to reuse the same connection with multiple codecs? Thanks!

Yep, that's currently a limitation. Alternatively, you can use different codecs when issuing custom commands via the dispatch(…) method with some casting trickery if you do not use Pub/Sub on the same connection.
