You need to use the below API which is Multi-DB compliant.
self.get_redis_client(self.db_name). Modify other occurrences as well.

@qiluo-msft can you please review this change. These bulk API's improve performance when performing large number of table operations. |

What are the use cases for the new functions? Application can achieve pipeline by calling get_redis_client().pipeline(). And that solution will be more flexible since you can mix functions into the same pipeline.

Qi, Please refer to the below comment from. It was suggested not to use the pipeline in the application.
sonic-net/sonic-utilities#891 (comment)
The use case is also mentioned in the same PR. It is to create large number of VLANs. This also helps when querying and displaying the contents of a filled-up mac address table.

Thanks @rajendra-dendukuri sharing the background! As we planed to move away from sonic-py-swsssdk and converge everything to sonic-swss-common, I believe new feature here will be short-lived. We have implemented some pipeline support in sonic-swss-common *Tables classes. Could you check if that fulfill your requirement?
Sorry for the inconvenience to extend code here.

For new commands to add/del range of vlans and range of vlan members, added new interfaces for bulk redis pipeline update
