Attila Magyar updated KNOX-2736:
--------------------------------
Description:
Not having retries in knox clients can cause service upgrade failures.
The apache http client has a default mechanism (StandardHttpRequestRetryHandler
and DefaultServiceUnavailableRetryStrategy) to support retries.
* DefaultServiceUnavailableRetryStrategy only retries in case of a 503 -
ServiceUnavailable.
* StandardHttpRequestRetryHandler retries when a non excluded exception occurs
during the request.
The excluded exceptions are: InterruptedIOException, UnknownHostException,
ConnectException, SSLException. In these cases no retry is going to happen.
The following HTTP methods are considered idempotent so they can be retried:
GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, TRACE.
Note that if an endpoint is implemented as a non-idempotent way (for example a
PUT) then this might have unwanted side-effects.
Other methods such as POST are only retried if the request has not yet written
out to the output stream when the error happened. Or if requestSentRetryEnabled
is enabled.
