Description

The fault choosing in the current redis fault injection depends on the redis commands. However, per-cluster or per-endpoint fault injection is meaningful, which is not supported yet.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing Redis filter fault injection code to understand how faults are currently selected per command. Then design a configuration extension to allow fault injection per cluster or per endpoint, considering Envoy's cluster and endpoint abstraction.
