ExponentialBackoffOptions Class

The ExponentialBackoffOptions class provides configuration options for the ExponentialBackoff retry strategy. This strategy uses a delay duration that exponentially increases with each retry attempt until an upper bound is reached. After reaching the upper bound, every retry attempt is delayed by the provided max delay duration.

This class is useful when you need to customize the behavior of the exponential backoff strategy. It allows you to specify the maximum number of retry attempts, the base delay duration, and the maximum delay duration.

Code sample:

In this example, an ExponentialBackoffOptions is created and used to configure an ExponentialBackoff retry strategy. The strategy is then used in a RetryPolicy which can then be added to a pipeline. For a request then sent by the pipeline, if the server responds with a transient error, the request will be retried with an exponentially increasing delay.

ExponentialBackoffOptions options = new ExponentialBackoffOptions().setMaxRetries(5)
     .setBaseDelay(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
     .setMaxDelay(Duration.ofSeconds(10));

 ExponentialBackoff retryStrategy = new ExponentialBackoff(options);
