`hSet` command return type on node-redis: 4.0.0-rc3

Hi folks,

I noticed that when I declare the hSet command, the return type seems to be Promise<string>, however, the official Redis command docs here https://redis.io/commands/hset mention that the return type of the HSET command is an Integer Reply.

I experimented with the hSet command a bit and the return type seems to be effectively a number, which matches the number of fields that were set and matches the docs above.

My question is: Should the declared return type be updated to match the actual return type, or could it be that I'm doing something wrong?

How to reproduce:

const value = await client.hSet('key', {'field1': 'value1'});

TypeScript infers value being a string

Thanks beforehand! 🙏

Environment:

• Redis Server Version: 6.2.6
• Node Redis Version: 4.0.0-rc3
