backoff vs. connectionManager

[Elad Ben David]

Hi all,

I tried to add "google backoff java client" to my current "apache http client"

I have a few questions if you can help me.

1) How can I use `connectionManager` with google google backoff client for java?

Or I should not even bother regarding this? as There is an underlying pool managed by the client-lib?

2) How can I set the retry times to 3?

Is my only way to set `.setMaxElapsedTimeMillis(MAX_INTERVAL * 3 )` ?

3) Will the backoff policy drain my Threads connection pool?

(I'm using parallelStream to send requests)

Thanks in advance

I don't follow what this has to do with backoff. You should be able to provide an HttpTransport like normal.

Effectively. MAX_INTERVAL*3 isn't quite right if you are using exponential backoff, but the general idea is right.

3) Will the backoff policy drain my Threads connection pool?

Yes. It is implemented using sleeps.
