Hi,
I have a web application (single client) that manipulates spreadsheets in 
various google user accounts. I get a few-to-many of these errors while 
querying or updating spreadsheets using the API over the course of a day:

Caused by: com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException: Internal Server Error at 
com.google.gdata.client.http.HttpGDataRequest.handleErrorResponse(HttpGDataRequest.java:632)
 
~[gdata-core-1.0-1.47.1.jar:na] at 
com.google.gdata.client.http.GoogleGDataRequest.handleErrorResponse(GoogleGDataRequest.java:564)

com.google.gdata.client.http.GoogleGDataRequest.execute(GoogleGDataRequest.java:536)

com.google.gdata.client.Service.getFeed(Service.java:1135) 
~[gdata-core-1.0-1.47.1.jar:1.47.1]

I see the exact same call that failed, succeeding when retried by the user 
a few seconds later. 

What is the cause of this error? This error is not isolated to a specific 
account or a specific day.
I would have expected a RateLimitExceededException if this were because of 
exceeding the quota (assuming there is one for spreadsheets).
Would you recommend an exponential backoff and retry for 'Internal Server 
Error' as well?
Thanks,
Hari.
