Addresses feedback on the SCH client-support table (DOC-7154).

Changes

  • Renamed "Basic connection" to "Standard routing" in the table header and the sentence before it. The page now defines it once: any connection that doesn't use the OSS Cluster API. The SCH version notes on the redis-py, node-redis, and go-redis connect pages are updated to use the same term.
  • Removed the "Client-side geographic failover" column. It said "Disabled" for every client, so it read like a per-client setting. The note under the table already covers this limitation and is unchanged. It now comes before the StackExchange.Redis note because it applies to every client.

The ## Basic connection headings on the client connect pages are not changed. There, "basic" means the simplest way to connect, which is a different meaning.

Review focus

"Standard routing" is a new term in the docs. Please flag it if product uses a different name for non-OSS-Cluster-API connections.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only terminology and table layout changes with no runtime or API impact.

Overview
Clarifies Smart client handoffs (SCH) client-support documentation by replacing the misleading "Basic connection" label with "Standard routing" and defining it once as any connection that does not use the OSS Cluster API.

On sch.md, the support table is narrowed to Standard routing and OSS Cluster API only; the Client-side geographic failover column is removed because every row was "Disabled." That limitation is kept in a note under the table (moved above the StackExchange.Redis experimental note so it reads as a global constraint). Matching SCH version callouts on the go-redis, node-redis, and redis-py connect pages now say "standard routing" instead of "basic connections." ## Basic connection sections on connect pages are unchanged—they still mean the simplest connect example, not SCH routing mode.

…p the failover column

Feedback relayed by Mirko Ortensi in Slack on the SCH client-support table:
"Basic connection" was ambiguous, and the "Client-side geographic failover"
column (all "Disabled") read like a per-client setting.

- sch.md: drop the failover column; the existing note already states the
  limitation and is kept word for word (no change to the published "no").
  Move that note ahead of the StackExchange.Redis note since it now applies
  to every client.
- sch.md + redis-py/nodejs/go connect.md SCH version notes: "basic
  connections" -> "standard routing", defined once on sch.md as any
  connection that doesn't use the OSS Cluster API.

"Standard routing" was Andy's choice from the options Mirko heard; the term
didn't exist anywhere in content/ before. The nearest existing term,
"Enterprise clustering" (an RS endpoint-configuration setting), was rejected
because load-balancer setups are also non-OSS-Cluster-API.

Do not rename the "## Basic connection" headings on the connect pages: there
"basic" means "simplest connection", a different sense. Lettuce and .NET SCH
sections have no basic/cluster version note, so nothing to change there.
