This assumes that all providers have proper REST APIs. Several providers use only GET operations, and others use only POST methods describing an action. Removing the retries on POST requests globally may have more side effects than benefits.
Given that this can only be an issue in eventual consistent systems, would it make more sense to subclass the backoff strategy in the SoftLayer provider and have it configured to use that particular one, leaving the current one as-is for the rest of providers? --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/744#issuecomment-101236323
