ExponentialBackOff (Infinispan Core 11.0.18.Final API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExponentialBackOffImpl
```
@Experimental
public interface ExponentialBackOff
```
Interface to implement an exponential back-off algorithm that retries the request based on the result of the remote operation.
This interface contains 2 methods: backoffSleep() which should be invoked if the request needs to be retried and reset(), invoked when a request is "successful", which resets the state.
The interface may me changed in the future to include async methods.

Since:

12.0

  - NO_OP
```
static final ExponentialBackOff NO_OP
```
    Disabled exponential back-off algorithm. It does nothing.
- Method Detail
  - backoffSleep
```
void backoffSleep()
           throws InterruptedException
```
    It blocks the thread for a certain amount of time before retries the request.
    The method is blocking and should be invoked when a request needs to be retried. It blocks the thread for a certain amount of time until it is allowed to do the request again.
    
    Throws:
    
    InterruptedException - If the Thread is interrupted while blocked.
  - reset
```
void reset()
```
    Resets its state.
    The blocking time in backoffSleep() increases with the number of consecutive retries. This methods resets its state back to the initial sleep time.
