💅 CLUSTER-FLUSHSLOTS — bestie edition

ok so like, this is the Valkey Command Manual page for CLUSTER-FLUSHSLOTS, and babes, it is a short one. Enjoy it while it lasts, because the SEE ALSO list at the bottom is a whole novel. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cluster-flushslots — deletes all slots information from a node. yes. all of it. gone. 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CLUSTER FLUSHSLOTS

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no options, no drama (well, some drama, see below).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So CLUSTER FLUSHSLOTS deletes all slots from a node, bestie. Not some of them. All of them.

More specifically: CLUSTER FLUSHSLOTS deletes all information about slots from the connected node.

⚠️ and here's the catch, the receipts, the fine print: it can only be called when the database is empty. Like, empty-empty. If your db has keys in it, this command is simply not going to happen for you. no cap.
