Is there reconnectStrategy for createCluster()?

[judyhopps24]

Description

The documentation says that there is default reconnectStrategy of exponential backoff.
But does this apply to createCluster() as well?
I see that reconnectStrategy is hard coded to false here in cluster-slots.ts

What is the right understanding? How can I specify the reconnect strategy for cluster cases?

Here is my connection code:

const cluster = createCluster({
    rootNodes: [
        {
            url: serverUrl
        }
    ],
    defaults: {
        socket: {
            connectTimeout: 10000ms,
            tls: true,
        },
    },
    useReplicas: true,
});

Hi @judyhopps24

You can set the reconnectStrategy for the cluster via the defaults property, which will be applied to every instantiated client:

createCluster({
  defaults: { 
    socket: { reconnectStrategy: 100  } 
  }
});

Regarding the snippet you mentioned with the hardcoded reconnectStrategy - it's used internally to create a temporary client for reading cluster slots, after which the client is disposed. This is for internal use only.
