ASKING

When a cluster client receives an -ASK redirect, the ASKING command is sent to the target node followed by the command which was redirected. This is normally done automatically by cluster clients.

If an -ASK redirect is received during a transaction, only one ASKING command needs to be sent to the target node before sending the complete transaction to the target node.

See [ASK redirection in the Redis Cluster Specification]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/reference/cluster-spec#ask-redirection" >}}) for details.
