Configuring `eredis_cluster` as a worker

[Srinivas JONNALAGADDA]

Team,

        I am using `eredis_cluster` in my application.  `eredis_cluster` is, by itself, an application (with a `start/0` and no `start_link/0`).  Following its documentation, I have setup the configuration.  It works if it started manually as an application.

        But, my application needs `eredis_cluster` itself to be supervised.  How should I configure it as a supervised worker in my application?

        In general, how do I configure an application as a worker?  Thanks!

You wouldn't.  If it's an application, let it run as an application.

The BEAM managed applications, that's what it's best at.  The last thing you want to do it try and take over that role.

Perhaps instead we should help you work out why the application isn't starting for you?

        Thanks, Redvers, for the quick response.

        I certainly do not want to do that! :-)

        I should clarify that when I include `eredis_cluster` in the list of applications in `mix.exs`, it does get started properly.  However, when something goes wrong, and `eredis_cluster` crashes, it is not coming back up.  So, I thought that it should be made a worker under my application's supervisor.  Including it in the supervision tree did not work.  Hence my question!
