Detect pub sub subscription status/connection on the cluster client?

[Nic0S]

Motivation

My goal is to detect the state of a long running pubsub subscription in cluster mode. For example, if the client is disconnected from the cluster for some amount of time (let's say network issue, or restart of a Redis node), it would be useful to receive some event from the client, and to receive another event once the subscription is reestablished.

According to #1855,
the cluster client does not produce events on reconnection. How can the application monitor the current status of the subscription?

To explain more about my use case, we are using pubsub for cache invalidation across machines. If the subscription connection to Redis is lost for any reason, we need to invalidate the whole cache and stop inserting new values until we get the connection back.

Is this something that can be accomplished currently?

Another related question; what happens if a value is published while the client is reconnecting to Redis? Will the value be published upon reconnection, assuming the client eventually does reconnect?
