Seems that nodejs:10 doesnt have package redis about openwhisk-runtime-nodejs HOT 4 CLOSED

I have seen package.json have no dependency on redis but nodejs:6.
If so, the composer should only run on nodejs:6. Why does the deploy command default to nodejs:10?
Is openwhisk installed on my machine registering nodejs:10 as runtime by default?

@lesomnus Hi.
Thank you for the report.

There was a discussion about this: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/6247da5513692d4a0b55ffe5de1b6cd8fc74168ae4ab1934264aebd9@%3Cdev.openwhisk.apache.org%3E

And we decided to keep the upstream runtime as pure as possible based on the assumption that
required packages can be added by OW operator in each downstream.
It would be easier for downstream to customize packages if we keep the upstream pure enough.

Regarding the default runtime, we relatively recently updated our default runtime to nodejs:10, so there might be some missing parts which do not take in nodejs:10 as a defaut runtime yet.
We are still updating them whenever we find them.

Thank you to let us know.

Including Redis (since it’s useful for composer) might be a good idea. @tardieu?
