9ExponentialBackOff is a backoff implementation that increases the backoff
10period for each retry attempt using a randomization function that grows exponentially.
11
12NextBackOff() is calculated using the following formula:
13
14 randomized interval =
15 RetryInterval * (random value in range [1 - RandomizationFactor, 1 + RandomizationFactor])
16
17In other words NextBackOff() will range between the randomization factor
18percentage below and above the retry interval.
19
20For example, given the following parameters:
21
22 RetryInterval = 2
23 RandomizationFactor = 0.5
24 Multiplier = 2
25
26the actual backoff period used in the next retry attempt will range between 1 and 3 seconds,
27multiplied by the exponential, that is, between 2 and 6 seconds.
28
29Note: MaxInterval caps the RetryInterval and not the randomized interval.
30
31If the time elapsed since an ExponentialBackOff instance is created goes past the
32MaxElapsedTime, then the method NextBackOff() starts returning backoff.Stop.
33
34The elapsed time can be reset by calling Reset().
35
36Example: Given the following default arguments, for 10 tries the sequence will be,
37and assuming we go over the MaxElapsedTime on the 10th try:
