Using the example of cpp_redis_high_availability_client
Here is my docker-compose file and redis.conf:
docker-compose file:

version: '2'

services:
  redis-master:
    image: redis:latest
    volumes:
        - ./redis-master.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf
    command: redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
    ports:
        - "8000:8000"

  redis-slave1:
     image: redis:latest
     volumes:
        - ./redis-slave1.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf
     command: redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
     ports:
        - "8001:8001"

  redis-slave2:
     image: redis:latest
     volumes:
        - ./redis-slave2.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf
     command: redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
     ports:
        - "8002:8002"

  redis-sentinel:
     image: redis:latest
     volumes:
        - ./redis-sentinel.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf
     command: redis-sentinel /etc/redis/redis.conf
     ports:
        - "28000:28000"

redis-sentinel.conf:

port 28000

sentinel monitor test-master 10.88.231.131 8000 1

sentinel down-after-milliseconds test-master 30000

sentinel parallel-syncs test-master 1

sentinel failover-timeout test-master 180000

redis-master.conf:
port 8000
redis-slave1.conf:

port 8001

slaveof 10.88.231.131 8000

slave-priority 100

slave-read-only yes

redis-slave2.conf

port 8002

slaveof 10.88.231.131 8000

slave-priority 10

slave-read-only yes

In the code, If I disable cpp_redis::network::set_default_nb_workers(2);, it will work then I stop the master, it won't try to reconnect the sentinel's new master and the programmer blocked and do nothing.
if the cpp_redis::network::set_default_nb_workers(2); enabled, it will do nothing but block on the connect function

//! Enable logging
	cpp_redis::active_logger = std::unique_ptr<cpp_redis::logger>(new cpp_redis::logger);

	// disable this, it will work but won't reconnect after the master is down. 
	// cpp_redis::network::set_default_nb_workers(2);

	cpp_redis::client client;

	//! Add your sentinels by IP/Host & Port
	client.add_sentinel("10.88.231.131", 28000);
       
       // block on here.
	client.connect("test-master", [](const std::string& host, std::size_t port, cpp_redis::client::connect_state status) {
		if (status == cpp_redis::client::connect_state::dropped) {
			std::cout << "client disconnected from " << host << ":" << port << std::endl;
		}
	},
		0, -1, 5000);

cpp-redis is quite great and I think will replace the hiredis sooner or later, please take a look at this issue.
the code is running on win with VS2015 and I installed the cpp-redis with vcpkg.
please take a look at this issue, thanks a lot
