+> Legacy notice: As of `v1.2.0`, the optional connector should implement the new
+  `React\Socket\ConnectorInterface`. For BC reasons it also accepts the

+  This legacy API will be removed in a future `v2.0.0` version, so it's highly

 #### createClient()
 
 The `createClient($redisUri = null)` method can be used to create a new [`Client`](#client).
