Implement retry handling in Jetty Transporter #2239
Description
New feature, improvement proposal
Currently the retry configuration is disregarded in the Jetty Transporter. Unfortunately the Jetty HTTP Client API does not come with a hook for retries. So retries need be manually established like this:
int attempt = 0;
while (true) {
try {
return client.newRequest(url)
.timeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.send();
} catch (ExecutionException | TimeoutException e) {
if (++attempt >= maxAttempts) {
throw e;
}
Thread.sleep(200L * (1L << attempt)); // 400ms, 800ms, ...
}
}

Hi! I opened a PR for this: #2242
The Jetty
HttpClienthas no retry hook, so it adds a retry loop inJettyTransporterforHEAD,GETandPUT, driven by the existingaether.connector.http.retryHandler.*settings. I enabled the shared retry tests for Jetty (they fail onmaster) and added a fewGET/PUTtests. I couldn't find another open PR for this after checking the timeline and a PR search.
