Ajay Yadava commented on FALCON-1363:
-------------------------------------

{code}
+Retry policy defines how the workflow failures should be handled. Two retry 
policies are defined: periodic and exp-periodic(exponential backoff). Depending 
on the delay and number of attempts, the workflow is re-tried after specific 
intervals.
{code}
Should be exp-backoff instead of exp-periodic.
There are 3 retry policies and not two. periodic/ exp-backoff and final.


{code}
<xs:documentation>Retry defines how to handle workflow failures. Policy type - 
periodic, exponential
+                        backoff along with the delay define how frequently the 
workflow should be re-tried. Number of
+                        attempts define how many times to re-try the failures.
                     </xs:documentation>
{code}
Policy type (periodic/exp-backoff/final) ...


We should also add documentation to explain the various policies and how they 
work with example. However, that can be tackled in a separate JIRA, this adds 
value on it's own.
