-----------------------------------
Summary: Implement retry logic
Key: LIBCLOUD-360
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-360
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ben McCann
I'd frequently upload 100GB+ files to OpenStack object storage (Swift), but
have run into trouble with tools that don't retry as it can be tough to do such
a large transfer without any network hiccup. I'm currently using the official
python-swiftclient since it has retry logic (see
https://github.com/openstack/python-swiftclient/blob/master/swiftclient/client.py),
but I like that libcloud works with other providers such as S3 and Azure as
well. The python-swiftclient has an exponential backoff where it sleeps first 1
second, then 2, then 4, up to a max of 64 seconds between retries (1 and 64 are
the min and max, but are configurable). It would be great to see a similar
logic in libcloud.
