We have a use case when a new client connects to a socket.io server, it would like to know all the clients that are in a particular room, and some metadata of the clients on the other side. So we implemented a custom hook function that enables the consumer of the 'clients' call on the adapter to implement custom callback to fetch client metadata in addition to the clientIDs.

Hi! Could you please rebase against master (most notably after #146)?

How about adding a new requestType?

var requestTypes = {
 clients: 0,
 clientRooms: 1,
 allRooms: 2, // list of all rooms created on every node
 remoteJoin: 3, // make any socket.id join a given room
 remoteLeave: 4, // make any socket.id leave a given room
 customRequest: 5, // using your registered hook
};

@darrachequesne Hi thanks for the quick look-at. We're just trying to initiate a discussion to see if this is a change that you think is worth making, has a reasonable demand and is inline with where you envisioned the socket.io-redis adapter to go. If so, we're more than happy to rebase against the current master.
