Types ¶

type Backoff ¶

type Backoff struct {
	Min    time.Duration // Duration of the first pause.
	Max    time.Duration // Max duration of a pause.
	Factor float64       // The factor of duration increase between iterations.
	Jitter bool          // Add random noise to pauses.
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Backoff specifies the parameters of the backoff algorithm. Works correctly if 0 < Min <= Max <= 2^62 (nanosec), and Factor >= 1.

func (*Backoff) Duration ¶

func (b *Backoff) Duration() time.Duration

Duration returns the time to wait on current retry iteration. Every time Duration is called, the returned value will exponentially increase by Factor until Backoff.Max. If Jitter is enabled, will add an additional random value between 0 and the duration, so the result can at most double.

func (*Backoff) Reset ¶

func (b *Backoff) Reset()

Reset sets the internal state back to first retry iteration.

func (*Backoff) Retry ¶

func (b *Backoff) Retry(ctx context.Context, f func() error) error

Retry calls a function until it succeeds or the context is done. It will backoff if the function returns an error. Once the context is done, retries will end and the most recent error will be returned. Backoff is not reset by this function.
