The maximum number of times to retry a request.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"4"

Remarks

MaximumRequestRetries is the maximum number of times the driver will retry a request when the problem has been detected as temporary (errors like "unknown error", network issues, and exceeding the maximum threshold per table). In this case on the first retry the driver will back off and wait for the amount of time designated by RetryWaitTime. If that request fails, the driver will double the time and then double again until the driver has exhausted the available retries.

For example, if RetryWaitTime is set to 2 seconds and MaximumRequestRetries is set to 5, the wait times will be as follows: 0 -> 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16 -> 32.
