Type Alias backoff::ExponentialBackoff

pub type ExponentialBackoff = ExponentialBackoff<SystemClock>;

Exponential backoff policy with system’s clock.

This type is preferred over exponential::ExponentialBackoff as it is generic over any Clocks and in the real world mostly system’s clock is used.

Fields

current_interval: Duration

The current retry interval.

initial_interval: Duration

The initial retry interval.

randomization_factor: f64

The randomization factor to use for creating a range around the retry interval.

A randomization factor of 0.5 results in a random period ranging between 50% below and 50% above the retry interval.

multiplier: f64

The value to multiply the current interval with for each retry attempt.

max_interval: Duration

The maximum value of the back off period. Once the retry interval reaches this value it stops increasing.

start_time: Instant

The system time. It is calculated when an ExponentialBackoff instance is created and is reset when retry is called.

max_elapsed_time: Option<Duration>

The maximum elapsed time after instantiating ExponentialBackfff or calling reset after which next_backoff returns None.

clock: SystemClock

The clock used to get the current time.
