Rate limiting confluence through redis (#2798)

* try rate limiting through redis

* fix circular import issue

* fix bad formatting of family string

* Revert "fix bad formatting of family string"

This reverts commit be68889.

* redis usage optional

* disable test that doesn't match with new design
