In some use cases, using a redis cache isn't required for a service to still function. In these cases, it would be helpful to still allow a spring boot application to start even if a redis instance is unavailable or unreachable. This is particularly true in a Kubernetes environment where the pod running your service may get rescheduled etc. If redis isn't available during that period where your service is being restarted, then the application will not start.
These changes capture the exception around the
Redisson.create()
method and give the end-user the ability to do something else if redis is unavailable. I've updated the README with a simple example of using theNoOpCacheManager
.
