Possible to access the worker's redis connection from inside the enqueued function?

[mfhughes]

Hi all,

Thanks for putting rq out there. It's saved me a bunch of time so far. Question:

I'm using my own worker script with preloaded libs and then entering the work() loop. Is it possible/what's the best way to access the worker's redis connection from inside of my enqueued function? Can I pass it in through work() somehow? Is this even a good idea? I want to access some cached data in redis. Or would it be better to just open a connection per func call?

Thanks!
