[infinispan-dev] Changing default Hot Rod client max retries

[Sanne Grinovero]

No objection, just not sure about the usefulness. I think what matters
for people is how long is it going to wait before it fails.

If it's a long time (i.e. 10 minutes) then you'd probably want it try
faster than waiting 5 minutes for the second try ... exponential
backoff sounds nicer than trying to find a reasonable balance in the
connection retries.

Another benefit of an exponential backoff strategy is that you could
allow the users to set an option to wait essentially forever (until
interrupted: nicer to allow this control to higher up stacks), which
could be useful for cloud deployments, microservices, etc..
