Difference exec and execAsPipeline methods.

[Dr-klo]

Description

Hello. What the difference between exec and execAsPipeline commands in multi pipeline.
Thanks.

exec will execute them with MULTI at the start and EXEC at the end, while execAsPipeline will execute them "normally" and collect all the results into an array.

This definitely should be in the docs, I'll leave this issue open for now..

It would also be beneficial to include a discussion of the pros and cons regarding performance (speed) and data integrity

"Normally"? Is it still a transaction?

@umstek
"normally" = not in a transaction, without wrapping them in MULTI & EXEC:

const multi = client.multi().ping();

await multi.exec();
// MULTI
// PING
// EXEC

await multi.execAsPipeline();
// PING
