Need to figure out:

1. how to fix windows build
2. why compile_time_options ci failed?
3. add more tests for code coverage

[adisuissa]

Thanks.
Can you provide some more background about this extension in the PR description (also is there a tracking issue)?

[adisuissa]

Can/should the cached server be an upstream cluster?
This should take care of all the connection parameters.

[hudayou]

No, this parameters are for a cache server
The purpose is to avoid query upstream cluster and just use the cache

Thanks. Can you provide some more background about this extension in the PR description (also is there a tracking issue)?

Yep, we are using a redis cache to avoid excessive/unnecessary health checks to our backend servers.

Below is some description about it.

I'll update the PR description about it. There is no tracking issue, if needed by you I can create one.

Hi,

Thanks for the contribution. We can't accept a contribution this large without a tracking issue, small design doc, etc. Also, this extension would need a sponsor to go in the main repo vs. contrib. Please read the contributing guide. I'm going to close this for now until we sort that out.

Thanks

[hudayou]

Sorry, I apologize for not providing a issue, I'll provide it today.

[hudayou]

Created issue as required here.
