Cannot detect Redis disconnect in pub/sub listener about carmine HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi Akos, there is an issue open for this: #15

Basically there's no easy way of creating reliable Redis Pub/Sub connections right now. A Pub/Sub ping op would go a long way, and that's planned for Redis 3.0. Actually there's workarounds now already, but they're cumbersome and I was hoping on holding out till it's fixed properly upstream.

I do believe there are also plans (3.0+) for some extra Pub/Sub reliability features like message buffering, etc. - but those were still at the design stage last I checked.

Depending on your use-case, you may find the Carmine message queue a better fit. Otherwise you're currently forced to workaround the lack of a proper ping mechanism - for example by publishing a ping message to your channel.

I would be open to pull-requests on this btw, Pub/Sub hasn't been a major priority for me since I seldom need it in my own systems.

Hope the info helps a little, cheers! :-)
