It sounds like the problem is a timeout. It's not surprising considering the huge workload you defined.
You could try to modify the way YCSB connects to Redis, to add a longer timeout than the default one.
In com.yahoo.ycsb.db.RedisClient, replace
jedis = new Jedis(host, port);
with
jedis = new Jedis(host, port, TIMEOUT);
With TIMEOUT being an integer. The default value in Jedis is 2000, which I assume means 2 seconds.
