Simplistic node redis connection pool ready can scale with generic-pool support

### Documentation

- [TSDOC pages](https://pasupulaphani.github.io/node-redis-connection-pool/index.html)

## Prerequisites

- `node >= 8` This module requires nodejs v8 or later
- `redis >= 4` This module requires redis v4 or above as it has dependencies on `UNLINK` and `redis.replicate_commands()` for pattern deletion.

### Getting started

```
    npm install node-redis-connection-pool
```

#### Usage

- Seemless execution of commands.

```
    var RedisPool = require("node-redis-connection-pool");
    var pool = new RedisPool();

    pool.sendCommand("set", ["key", "value"])
```

- Want redis raw connection? you got it

```
    pool.acquire()
      .then(conn => {

        // Do some work

        // At the end release the conn back to the pool
        pool.release(conn)
      });
```

#### API
