There is nothing in place to catch the errors that don't fit in the retry_exception_messages about wp-redis

Hm. I don't know how I feel about catching all Redis exceptions. Right now, we're just catching those we think we know how to safely handle.

What exception are you seeing in the real world that you'd rather catch than retry?

'read error on connection' is definitely one (which I'm adding via the filter now). I'm just not sure fataling the site is a better alternative to... something else.

[danielbachhuber]

Ok. Note, you'll need to add your filter to sunrise.php in order for it to apply, as a mu-plugin will be too late.

Another spot which needs some try/catch/reconnection:
