Answer 1

The error is misleading. You are missing some dependencies.

compile 'redis.clients:jedis'
compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-pool2'

Answer 2

In case somebody is facing an issue with springboot, might be following dependency in pom.xml is missing

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>
</dependency>

This missing dependency was misleading me to the error in the question.
