Defines how delay between retries is calculated.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
CUSTOM	Custom backoff strategy - delay is calculated by the user.
EXPONENTIAL	Exponential backoff - delay doubles with each attempt.
FIXED	Fixed delay - same wait time for each retry.
LINEAR	Linear backoff - delay increases linearly with attempt number.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

FIXED

public static final RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy FIXED

Fixed delay - same wait time for each retry.

Example with 1000ms base delay:

• Attempt 1: 1000ms
• Attempt 2: 1000ms
• Attempt 3: 1000ms

LINEAR

public static final RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy LINEAR

Linear backoff - delay increases linearly with attempt number.

Example with 1000ms base delay:

• Attempt 1: 1000ms (1 × 1000)
• Attempt 2: 2000ms (2 × 1000)
• Attempt 3: 3000ms (3 × 1000)

EXPONENTIAL

public static final RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy EXPONENTIAL

Exponential backoff - delay doubles with each attempt.

Example with 1000ms base delay:

• Attempt 1: 1000ms (2⁰ × 1000)
• Attempt 2: 2000ms (2¹ × 1000)
• Attempt 3: 4000ms (2² × 1000)

Recommended for most use cases as it quickly backs off to prevent overwhelming the server while allowing fast recovery.

CUSTOM

public static final RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy CUSTOM

Custom backoff strategy - delay is calculated by the user.

Example with 1000ms base delay:

• Attempt 1: 1000ms
• Attempt 2: 2000ms
• Attempt 3: 3000ms

Method Detail

values

public static RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy c : RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static RetryOptions.BackoffStrategy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
