Description

Problem Statement

django-redis doesn’t implement all the hash commands available in redis-py (4.0.2). I plan to work on implementing the missing commands, I’d appreciate any feedback on this proposal, especially regarding potential edge cases or test strategies.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing hash command implementations in django redis (e.g., HDEL, HEXISTS) to understand the pattern, then implement the missing commands (HGET, HGETALL, etc.) following that pattern. Write corresponding tests.
