can any one please suggest ?

Redis provides support for pipelining, which involves sending multiple commands to the server without waiting for the replies and then reading the replies in a single step. Pipelining can improve performance when you need to send several commands in a row, such as adding many elements to the same List.

Spring Data Redis provides several RedisTemplate methods for executing commands in a pipeline.

One example:

//pop a specified number of items from a queue
List<Object> results = stringRedisTemplate.executePipelined(
 new RedisCallback<Object>() {
 public Object doInRedis(RedisConnection connection) throws DataAccessException {
 StringRedisConnection stringRedisConn = (StringRedisConnection)connection;
 for(int i=0; i< batchSize; i++) {
 stringRedisConn.rPop("myqueue");
 }
 return null;
 }
});
