RetryPolicy (Ratpack API (2.0.0-rc-1))

All Known Implementing Classes:

AttemptRetryPolicy, DurationRetryPolicy
```
public interface RetryPolicy
```
A strategy object to govern retry behaviours.
Implementors should define their own exhaustion policy, i.e. when they will give up retrying. Implementors should track retry attempts, even if they don't leverage it when deciding exhaustion. Exampled of other uses are logging or to customize delays. Implementors should also define what kind of delay will be executed between retries.

Since:

1.7

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`int`	`attempts()`	Attempts performed so far.

- Method Detail
  - isExhausted
```
boolean isExhausted()
```
    If the caller should stop retrying.
    
    Returns:
    
    TRUE if the caller should stop retrying
  - attempts
```
int attempts()
```
    Attempts performed so far. Starts on 1, i.e. when no retry has been performed yet this returns 1.
    
    Returns:
    
    attempts performed so far.
  - increaseAttempt
```
RetryPolicy increaseAttempt()
```
    Increase number of attempts.
    
    Returns:
    
    this policy after updating the internal state around attempts
  - delay
```
Promise<Duration> delay()
```
    Promise that returns the waiting time before retrying.
    
    Returns:
    
    promise that returns the waiting time before retrying
