Class ExponentialBackOff

  • public class ExponentialBackOff
extends Object
    Implementation of BackOff that increases the back off period for each retry attempt using a randomization function that grows exponentially.

    nextBackOffMillis() is calculated using the following formula: 

     randomized_interval =
 retry_interval * (random value in range [1 - randomization_factor, 1 + randomization_factor])

    In other words nextBackOffMillis() will range between the randomization factor percentage below and above the retry interval. For example, using 2 seconds as the base retry interval and 0.5 as the randomization factor, the actual back off period used in the next retry attempt will be between 1 and 3 seconds.

    Note: max_interval caps the retry_interval and not the randomized_interval.

    Example: The default retry_interval is .5 seconds, default randomization_factor is 0.5, default multiplier is 1.5 and the default max_interval is 1 minute. For 10 tries the sequence will be (values in seconds) and assuming we go over the max_elapsed_time on the 10th try: 

     request#     retry_interval     randomized_interval

 9            12.807              [6.403, 19.210]
 10           19.210              maxElapsedTimeMillis

    Implementation is not thread-safe.
