How to set retry delay after connection failure

[sari...@gmail.com]

Right now the retry delay gradually increases. How can i set it to a static value?

What language are you working in? Is there a reason you want at static value? You don't want to just cap the exponential backoff to a lower maximum?

C++. I have a secondary thread sending a heartbeat call to server every 200ms. That is used to determine if user is still logged in, if server doesn't receive the heartbeat, server deletes the user session AKA logouts the user. So in a sense i myself is handling the reconnect/retrying so that GRPC's internal retry delay is unnecessarily causing delay in this whole cycle.

After searching through the source code i found the setting for this. 

grpc::ChannelArguments channel_args;
channel_args.SetInt("grpc.testing.fixed_reconnect_backoff", 1000);

There is another relevant argument setting in grpc_types.h,

#define GRPC_ARG_MAX_RECONNECT_BACKOFF_MS "grpc.max_reconnect_backoff_ms"

But I'm using version 0.12.0 which doesn't have that option :P
