I want to connect to Elasticcache for redis in which cluster mode is enabled. I want to connect it from golang (go-redis pkg)

In Golang,Go redis has 2 clients, redis.NewClient and redis.NewClusterClient.

I am not sure which one to use for connecting to elasticcache for redis.

I want to use the client which will only connect to one endoint of cluster and that enpoint will make sure I get or set the keys for redis. As clusters in elasticcache are aware of eachother

Any help on this would be very much appreciated

I would like to use NewClusterClient, for your question

Please make sure all those parameters are false
