> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: OOZIE-2758
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2758
> Project: Oozie
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: docs
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0, 4.3.0
> Reporter: Julian Endres
>
> In the oozie-site.xml the property oozie.action.retry.interval exists.
> It is described as "The interval between retries of an action in case of
> failure" without specifying a time unit.
> From the propertiey oozie.service.LiteWorkflowStoreService.user.retry.inteval
> which is described as "Automatic retry interval for workflow action is in
> minutes and the default value is 10 minutes." the user could assume that the
> property oozie.action.retry.interval is also minutes. However, as in
> https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/oozie/action/ActionExecutor.java
> one comment states "defaultRetryInterval retry interval, in seconds.".
> In our environment the standard settings are used, and the application is
> exactly doing this: do a retry every 10 SECONDS (then suspend after max
> number of retries e.g. in the case of a distcp action). However the user
> might expect a retry every 10 minutes.
> Here is an excerpt from our log:
> Next Retry, Attempt Number [2] in [10.000] milliseconds
> This should at least be correctly documented if not aligned to the same unit.
