All Implemented Interfaces:
BackOff
public class ExponentialBackOff extends Object implements BackOff
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

  • Method Details

    • reset

      public void reset()
      Sets the interval back to the initial retry interval and restarts the timer.
      Specified by:
      reset in interface BackOff

    • nextBackOffMillis

      public long nextBackOffMillis()

      This method calculates the next back off interval using the formula: randomized_interval = retry_interval +/- (randomization_factor * retry_interval)

      Subclasses may override if a different algorithm is required.

      Specified by:
      nextBackOffMillis in interface BackOff
