GH-536: RFE: Allow Workflows To be Automatically Retried
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: OOZIE-337
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-337
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Hadoop QA
Certain work-flows fail most often due to transient failures that can be worked
around simply by retrying after some time.
Allow a work-flow (or an action in a work-flow) to indicate that it's OK for
the work-flow to be retried a certain number of times with a certain amount of
time between the retries before actually declaring it a failure. (The intervals
between retries could be fixed or some form of an increasing sequence generated
by an exponential back-off algorithm.)
If issue #535 were to be fixed, developers will at least have a work-around for
implementing this feature on their own.
