this.bclient.options.connectionName = connectionName;

In worker.js the worker redis connection name is replaced with a base64 encoded string of the queuename.

Is there any reason why this is done?

For some background around the question: our instrumentation plugins gather data based on the connectionName.
As the connection name can be provided as a parameter, when setting up the Bull instance with a redis client, it seems very obscure that its replaced, and I wonder if its really necessary.

Cheers!

I think this was done to normalise the characters used by the connection name so that they could more easy be parsed when listing all the workers associated to a given queue.
