keyPrefix vs prefix

[aleemb]

I just switched to this lib and was reading that there are plans to merge this with node_redis. In either case, I found that I had to rename prefix to keyPrefix. Either this could be mentioned in the migration docs or better still, renaming the key to prefix would make the migration a bit more seamless.

Hi @aleemb. keyPrefix is first supported by ioredis, and at that time, node_redis didn't have this feature, so the migration guides didn't include it. I just revisited the guides and found out it mentioned "The options passed to the constructor are different".

As for me, keyPrefix is better since the prefix only applies on the keys rather than patterns and channels.

I wasn't aware of this distinction, makes sense. Thanks for highlighting it.
