Bug: Redis Connection Retry Loop Causes Startup Block

The init() method's new retry loop can indefinitely block application startup if Redis is unavailable, as it lacks a retry limit. The null check for redisClient and redisCacheClient is unreachable because Redisson.create() throws an exception on failure. Also, calling MetricUtils.recordRedisConnectionFailure() during this early startup phase may cause exceptions or fail to record metrics if the system isn't initialized.
