Problem
There are some situations where the
_clientin RedisCache is not instantiated when theclose()method is called. We have ran into this specifically with django.core.cache.CacheHandler.close_caches(). While it does not cause an error, it is an inefficiency.Solution
This pull request makes an update to
django_redis/cache.py::RedisCache.close()to prevent unnecessary initialization of the_client.The close method now checks if
_client is not Nonebefore attempting to close the client.I have also added a test.
