I think this is a critical parameter, so I would like to extend the
description a bit. How about this:
```
Sets the delay that the system waits after a job has failed, before
re-executing it. The delay starts after all tasks have been successfully been
stopped on the TaskManagers, and once the delay is past, the tasks are
re-started. This parameter is useful to delay re-execution in order to let
certain time-out related failures surface fully (like broken connections that
have not fully timed out), before attempting a re-execution and immediately
failing again due to the same problem.
This parameter only has an effect if the number of execution re-tries is
one or more.
```

> Flink allows to specify a delay between execution retries. This helps to let
> some external failure causes fully manifest themselves before the restart is
> attempted.
> The delay is currently defined only system wide.
> We should add it to the {{ExecutionConfig}} of a job to allow per-job
> specification.
