-------------------------------------
A default of `MAX_INT` seems reasonable here.

> We currently set the default to 3 if idempotence is enabled. There was a
> brief discussion in the PR, but it would be good to explain this choice in
> more detail. Namely, what cases are we trying to cover with this number and
> have we considered the fact that with the default retry backoff of 100ms, 3
> retries are used pretty quickly.
> Is there a downside in using a larger retry count?
