Sorry for the very late reply here.

Sorry for the very late reply here. We feel that Sentinels are clearly an afterthought, hacked on the side of Redis to tick the failover box. My main pain point is that they actively re-write their config files kept in /etc which is appalling behavior - especially if you want to manage your configuration file with some sort of automation such as puppet. The actual failover process is slow no matter how you tune it and because of this the window for error is high during this time. Data loss with Redis failover seems not only inevitable but also probable.
