This is related to #21920.
Spring Data Redis has a RedisSocketConfiguration that can be used to configure a Unix domain socket connection to Redis. The Lettuce client supports domain socket configuration with URLs like redis-socket://redis/redis.sock. 
If we decide to support redis-sentinel:// URLs in spring.redis.url, we might also want to support redis-socket:// URLs.
