feature request: retrying resolver wrapper
------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1195
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1195
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Stepan Koltsov
I'm requesting a retrying resolver.
*description*
Retrying resolver delegates resolution to configured child resolver. If child
resolver fails, if requests child to perform a resolution again after some time.
*example*
{code}
<resolvers>
<retry name="default" timeout="5m" start="10s" exp="1.5">
<svn .../>
</retry>
</resolvers>
{code}
In the example above, "default" resolver will try call SVN resolver to resolve
dependencies, if SVN resolver fails, it will be called again after 10s, then
after 15s, then after 27s, and so on, but not after 5 minutes after resolver
start.
*motivation*
We have build server, that builds projects right after commit. Projects depend
on concrete revisions of another projects, revisions are specified in ivy.xml
(say, "app" depends on "lib"). Sometimes developers commit to dependent project
"app" immediately after commit to the base project "lib". And in this case
there is a high chance, that base project "lib" is not yet built (so artifact
is not published) at the time of dependent project "app" ivy:resolve task run.
So build of dependent project "app" fails.
Retry task could resolve this situation: dependent project "app" build start
will be delayed until completion of "lib" build.
