Currently the entire Redis auto-configuration is conditional on presence of Jedis. If one uses Lettuce and provides LettuceConnectionFactory bean it would be nice if Boot would configure RedisTemplate and StringRedisTemplate just like it does with Jedis.
I'm aware of Lettuce first-class support proposed in #5311 is scheduled for Boot 2.0 however the situation described above would benefit Boot 1.x users as well.
Thoughts? I understand this is not a trivial change however if you'd consider it acceptable for 1.5 I'd put together a PR.
