BackOff

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExponentialBackOff, MockBackOff
```
public interface BackOff
```
Back-off policy when retrying an operation.

Since:

1.15

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field	Description
`static long`	`STOP`	Indicates that no more retries should be made for use in `nextBackOffMillis()`.
`static BackOff`	`STOP_BACKOFF`	Fixed back-off policy that always returns `#STOP` for `nextBackOffMillis()`, meaning that the operation should not be retried.
`static BackOff`	`ZERO_BACKOFF`	Fixed back-off policy whose back-off time is always zero, meaning that the operation is retried immediately without waiting.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`long`	`nextBackOffMillis()`	Gets the number of milliseconds to wait before retrying the operation or `STOP` to indicate that no retries should be made.
`void`	`reset()`	Reset to initial state.

```
static final BackOff ZERO_BACKOFF
```
    Fixed back-off policy whose back-off time is always zero, meaning that the operation is retried immediately without waiting.
  - STOP_BACKOFF
```
static final BackOff STOP_BACKOFF
```

void reset()
    throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reset to initial state.

  - nextBackOffMillis
```
long nextBackOffMillis()
                throws java.io.IOException
```
    Gets the number of milliseconds to wait before retrying the operation or STOP to indicate that no retries should be made.
    Example usage:
    
    long backOffMillis = backoff.nextBackOffMillis(); if (backOffMillis == Backoff.STOP) { // do not retry operation } else { // sleep for backOffMillis milliseconds and retry operation }
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
