pawalat opened a new pull request, #30628:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/30628

   This pull request introduces a retry mechanism to handle Vault connection 
failures more gracefully. By employing the urllib3.util.Retry class, we can 
configure the retry behavior for specific HTTP status codes that are more 
likely to be transient, such as 412 (Precondition Failed), 500 (Internal Server 
Error), 502 (Bad Gateway), and 503 (Service Unavailable).
   
   These changes are implemented within the Vault client file, using the hvac 
library, to enhance the robustness and reliability of the connection with 
Vault. The hvac library's Client class allows for the injection of a custom 
Session object, which we can configure with an HTTPAdapter instance to apply 
our desired retry behavior.
   
   As mentioned in the [hvac 
documentation](https://hvac.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced_usage.html#retrying-failed-requests),
 thoughtful retrying of failed requests is crucial for a seamless experience 
with Vault, especially in the context of eventual consistency. Vault may return 
a 412 status code when data is not yet available on the node where the request 
was made. In addition, retrying 5xx status codes is generally advisable.
   
   With these changes, Airflow's integration with Vault becomes more resilient 
and fault-tolerant, improving the overall user experience and stability of the 
system.
