# Support Redis Sentinel database connections
This PR adds the support to connect not only to Redis standalone servers
but High Availability Replication sets too
(https://redis.io/docs/management/sentinel/)
Redis Replica Sets have on Master allowing to write data and 2+ replicas
with read-only access to the data. The additional Redis Sentinel
instances monitor all server and reconfigure the RW-Master on the fly if
it comes unavailable.
Therefore all connections must be made through the Sentinels the query
the current master for a read-write connection. This PR adds basic
support to also allow a redis connection url specifying a Sentinel as
Redis connection.
Redis documentation and Jupyter notebook with Redis examples are updated
to mention how to connect to a redis Replica Set with Sentinels

Remark - i did not found test cases for Redis server connections to add
new cases here. Therefor i tests the new utility class locally with
different kind of setups to make sure different connection urls are
working as expected. But no test case here as part of this PR.
