RetryPolicy Class

A retry policy.

The retry policy in the pipeline can be configured directly, or tweaked on a per-call basis.

RetryPolicy

Constructor

RetryPolicy(**kwargs)

Parameters

retry_total
int

Total number of retries to allow. Takes precedence over other counts. Default value is 10.

retry_connect
int

How many connection-related errors to retry on. These are errors raised before the request is sent to the remote server, which we assume has not triggered the server to process the request. Default value is 3.

retry_read
int

How many times to retry on read errors. These errors are raised after the request was sent to the server, so the request may have side-effects. Default value is 3.

retry_status
int

How many times to retry on bad status codes. Default value is 3.

retry_backoff_factor
float

A backoff factor to apply between attempts after the second try (most errors are resolved immediately by a second try without a delay). In fixed mode, retry policy will alwasy sleep for {backoff factor}. In 'exponential' mode, retry policy will sleep for: {backoff factor} * (2 ** ({number of total retries} - 1)) seconds. If the backoff_factor is 0.1, then the retry will sleep for [0.0s, 0.2s, 0.4s, ...] between retries. The default value is 0.8.

retry_backoff_max
int

The maximum back off time. Default value is 120 seconds (2 minutes).

retry_mode
RetryMode

Fixed or exponential delay between attemps, default is exponential.

timeout
int

Timeout setting for the operation in seconds, default is 604800s (7 days).

Examples

Configuring a retry policy.


   from azure.core.pipeline.policies import RetryPolicy

   retry_policy = RetryPolicy()

   # Total number of retries to allow. Takes precedence over other counts.
   # Default value is 10.
   retry_policy.total_retries = 5

   # How many connection-related errors to retry on.
   # These are errors raised before the request is sent to the remote server,
   # which we assume has not triggered the server to process the request. Default value is 3
   retry_policy.connect_retries = 2

   # How many times to retry on read errors.
   # These errors are raised after the request was sent to the server, so the
   # request may have side-effects. Default value is 3.
   retry_policy.read_retries = 4

   # How many times to retry on bad status codes. Default value is 3.
   retry_policy.status_retries = 3

   # A backoff factor to apply between attempts after the second try
   # (most errors are resolved immediately by a second try without a delay).
   # Retry policy will sleep for:
   #    {backoff factor} * (2 ** ({number of total retries} - 1))
   # seconds. If the backoff_factor is 0.1, then the retry will sleep
   # for [0.0s, 0.2s, 0.4s, ...] between retries.
   # The default value is 0.8.
   retry_policy.backoff_factor = 0.5

   # The maximum back off time. Default value is 120 seconds (2 minutes).
   retry_policy.backoff_max = 120

   # Alternatively you can disable redirects entirely
   retry_policy = RetryPolicy.no_retries()

   # All of these settings can also be configured per operation.
   policies.append(retry_policy)
   client = PipelineClient(base_url=url, policies=policies)
   request = client.get(url)
   pipeline_response = client._pipeline.run(
       request,
       retry_total=10,
       retry_connect=1,
       retry_read=1,
       retry_status=5,
       retry_backoff_factor=0.5,
       retry_backoff_max=120,
       retry_on_methods=['GET']
   )

Methods

send

Sends the PipelineRequest object to the next policy. Uses retry settings if necessary.

sleep

Sleep between retry attempts.

This method will respect a server's Retry-After response header and sleep the duration of the time requested. If that is not present, it will use an exponential backoff. By default, the backoff factor is 0 and this method will return immediately.

send

Sends the PipelineRequest object to the next policy. Uses retry settings if necessary.

send(request)

Parameters

request
PipelineRequest
Required

The PipelineRequest object

Returns

Returns the PipelineResponse or raises error if maximum retries exceeded.

Return type

Exceptions

azure.core.exceptions.AzureError if maximum retries exceeded.
azure.core.exceptions.ClientAuthenticationError if authentication

sleep

Sleep between retry attempts.

This method will respect a server's Retry-After response header and sleep the duration of the time requested. If that is not present, it will use an exponential backoff. By default, the backoff factor is 0 and this method will return immediately.

sleep(settings, transport, response=None)

Parameters

settings
dict
Required

The retry settings.

transport
Required

The HTTP transport type.

response
PipelineResponse
default value: None

The PipelineResponse object.

Exceptions

azure.core.exceptions.AzureError if maximum retries exceeded.
azure.core.exceptions.ClientAuthenticationError if authentication
