What happened?

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:

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

db.statement: GET ? ==> db.statement: GET ?
db.system: redis ==> db.system: redis
db.redis.database_index: 0 ==> db.namespace: 0
net.peer.name: localhost ==> server.address: localhost
net.peer.port: 6379 ==> network.peer.port: 6379
net.transport: ip_tcp ==> Not sure if it's needed
db.redis.args_length: 2 ==> Not sure if it's needed
