Google App Engine Task Queue Retry

[Sam via StackOverflow]

Is there a way to disable the retry options for tasks that failed? Its not possible to do this in queue.yaml

retry_parameters:
    task_retry_limit: 0

Is there any other option to disable retries?

If setting task_retry_limit to 0, you can try checking for the task queue header X-AppEngine-TaskRetryCount, and aborting if it's non-zero.

In the latest version - 1.4.3 it needs to be greater than zero

Trying to upload 0 gives you this...

Error 400: --- begin server output --- Invalid queue configuration. Task retry limit must be greater than zero. --- end server output ---

Setting task_retry_limit to zero appears to be allowed as of SDK version 1.7.5.

The following queue.yaml was accepted:

queue:
- name: default
  rate: 5/s
  retry_parameters:
    task_retry_limit: 0

However, it is not obeyed.
