Jedis, Cannot get jedis connection: cannot get resource from pool

Question

I have seen answers in couple of threads but didn't work out for me and since my problem occurs occasionally, asking this question if any one has any idea.

I am using jedis version 2.8.0, Spring Data redis version 1.7.5. and redis server version 2.8.4 for our caching application.

I have multiple cache that gets saved in redis and get request is done from redis. I am using spring data redis APIs to save and get data.

All save and get works fine, but getting below exception occasionally:

Cannot get Jedis connection; nested exception is redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisConnectionException: Could not get a resource from the pool | org.springframework.data.redis.RedisConnectionFailureException: Cannot get Jedis connection; nested exception is redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisConnectionException: Could not get a resource from the poolorg.springframework.data.redis.RedisConnectionFailureException: Cannot get Jedis connection; nested exception is redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisConnectionException: Could not get a resource from the pool

org.springframework.data.redis.core.AbstractOperations.execute(AbstractOperations.java:88)
org.springframework.data.redis.core.DefaultHashOperations.get(DefaultHashOperations.java:49)

My redis configuration class:

@Configuration
public class RedisConfiguration {

@Value("${redisCentralCachingURL}")
private String redisHost;

@Value("${redisCentralCachingPort}")
private int redisPort;

@Bean
public StringRedisSerializer stringRedisSerializer() {
  StringRedisSerializer stringRedisSerializer = new StringRedisSerializer();
  return stringRedisSerializer;
}

@Bean
JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
  JedisConnectionFactory factory = new JedisConnectionFactory();
  factory.setHostName(redisHost);
  factory.setPort(redisPort);
  factory.setUsePool(true);
  return factory;
}

@Bean
public RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate() {
  RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate = new RedisTemplate<>();
  redisTemplate.setConnectionFactory(jedisConnectionFactory());
  redisTemplate.setExposeConnection(true);
  // No serializer required all serialization done during impl
  redisTemplate.setKeySerializer(stringRedisSerializer());
  //`redisTemplate.setHashKeySerializer(stringRedisSerializer());
  redisTemplate.setHashValueSerializer(new GenericSnappyRedisSerializer());
  redisTemplate.afterPropertiesSet();
  return redisTemplate;
}

@Bean
public RedisCacheManager cacheManager() {
  RedisCacheManager redisCacheManager = new RedisCacheManager(redisTemplate());
  redisCacheManager.setTransactionAware(true);
  redisCacheManager.setLoadRemoteCachesOnStartup(true);
  redisCacheManager.setUsePrefix(true);
  return redisCacheManager;
 }

 }

Did anyone faced this issue or have any idea on this, why might this happen?

I moved from redis.template to plain jedis. Added below configuration(can be added in redis template too) for pool and don't see any exception now:

jedisPoolConfig.setMaxIdle(30);
jedisPoolConfig.setMinIdle(10);

for redis template:

jedisConnectionFactory.getPoolConfig().setMaxIdle(30);
jedisConnectionFactory.getPoolConfig().setMinIdle(10);

Same above config can be added in redis template too.
