MASTERDOWN: MASTERDOWN Link with MASTER is down and replica-serve-stale-data is set to 'no'

Redis

What does it mean?

The link between the replica and the master is down, and because replica-serve-stale-data is set to 'no', the replica refuses to answer requests with stale data.

Why does it happen?

The master node crashed or is unreachable, a network outage/partition, the master-replica replication link dropped, or the master cannot respond under heavy load.

How to fix it

Check the master node's status and network connectivity. Inspect replication status: INFO replication. Bring the master back up, or let a failover happen via Sentinel/Cluster. If serving stale data is acceptable, consider replica-serve-stale-data yes (mind the consistency risk). Use Sentinel/Cluster for high availability.
