This behavior means our single redis output is the equivialant of:

Each Redis server is tried in sequence.

I would propose that the redis input plugin should have the same behaviour so that:

I think in your output example when having 2 outputs its not like the 'round robin' solution. it will send it to both outputs separately.
With the input, i think its more difficult to internally in the output have it spawn multiple threads for every redis server.

Personally i think having separate input definitions is easier coding wise.
