Closing a broken connection throws an exception if reconnection fails

Author: sa7mswCreated Aug 18, 2026Updated Aug 20, 2026

Given a broken Jedis client connection, if you try to close() it and its connection pool replacement can't connect to the server, a JedisException propagates out from the close() method. This seems both undesirable and unexpected - as a user I just want to close and release any resources allocated to the connection, I should not have to deal with problems caused by other side effects like repopulating the connection pool.
