Describe the bug

Hello,

I have recently been working on a project that required Redis instrumentation for two different languages. During this process, I noticed some discrepancies in the attributes being collected. To investigate further, I conducted testing to check the attributes collected for Redis instrumentation across six of the most popular languages. I have documented my testing in this GitHub repository:

Findings for Java:

What We Capture Today ==> How It Should Look in Latest Semantic Conventions

db.operation: GET ==> db.operation.name: GET
network.peer.port: 6379 ==> network.peer.port: 6379
network.type: ipv6 ==> (Not needed)
network.peer.address: 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 ==> network.peer.name: 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
db.statement: GET mykey ==> db.query.text: GET mykey
db.system: redis ==> db.system: redis
(Not captured) ==> db.namespace: 0

The latest OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for Redis can be found here:
