During testing I noticed the following. I would appreciate if folks who are
interested in this area comment about these observations.
a) If a single broker is defined in the URL, by default FailoverSingleServer
is chosen.
In this case, I believe we should default to no failover unless explicitly
specified.
b) The FailoverSingleServer method retries immediately upon a connection
error.
A connection error maybe due the broker crashing or due to a temp
network error.
In either case, IMO there is little value in retrying immediately. It
would be best to retry after a delay.
Rob pointed out that in the case of a fast dns switch this may come in
handy, but in other cases I believe a configurable timeout would be better.
c) The actual number of retries == the no of retries configured + 1.
Is there a reason for this logic?
Thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated.
