Cacheops crashes the entire application if for some reason it cannot connect to the configured Redis server about django-cacheops

Continuing happily under load will most probably bring down your database server.

However I see some scenarios when proposed behavior could be useful.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I think in a high availability scenario it is much better to have degraded performance than to have a full outage.
Otherwise you have 1 Redis machine that is your single point failure within an otherwise high redundancy infrastructure.

If you have multiple layers of caching and also plenty of reserve database capacity, the failure of 1 cache layer wouldn't necessarily bring down your database server. It will just make your application slower.

So at least it would be nice if it was configurable. I'll attach also a proposed patch soon.

I don't mind a configurable solution. I still think just failing loudly
should be default cause it's more common use case. And also it will lead to
far less confusion, especially in dev environment.

An yes, I will willingly accept a pull request.
