Todd Lipcon reassigned HBASE-2445:
----------------------------------

    Assignee:     (was: Todd Lipcon)

Unassigning from myself since I'm not working on this currently. HBASE-2421 solved the major issue I was running into, but I think this JIRA is still important as a general topic - we should expose timeouts, not retry counts, as the user visible idea.

> Right now almost all retry behavior is governed by a single parameter that determines the number of retries. In a few places, there are also conf for the number of millis to sleep between retries. This isn't quite flexible enough. If we can refactor some of the retry logic into a RetryPolicy class, we could introduce exponential backoff where appropriate, clean up some of the config, etc
