Hi Arjan,

I know that I have used retry logic in totally different circumstances
in code where I increased the delay with each retry attempt. I.e. I
waited a very short time before the first retry and doubled it each
time. Would something like this make sense here as well?
The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't do this because (for me at
least) the number of retries is always going to be very limited.
When the number of retries is limited the total time you're going to be
retrying is going to be relatively low, I guess the increment won't make a
big difference in that case. Personally I wouldn't want my build scripts
to spend 10 minutes retrying something, but if you think there's a use for
it I could build it. Should be easy enough.
It would be good if you could open an enhancement request in bugzilla
and attach your patch. It is less prone to get lost there compared to
the developers' INBOX.
There you go: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52076
