[I] [Feature Request]: [REFE] Add native Retry and Retry Delay options to Workflow Actions (hop)

["vitorsantos-commits (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

vitorsantos-commits opened a new issue, #6709:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/6709

   ### What would you like to happen?
   
   Current Behavior:
   Currently, Workflow actions (such as Pipeline, Workflow, SQL, etc.) do not have a native mechanism to automatically retry upon failure. To implement a retry logic (e.g., "retry 3 times every 5 minutes"), users must manually design complex loops using 'Check' actions and 'Delay/Wait for' steps, which clutters the workflow canvas.
   
   Proposed Feature:
   Add a new tab called "Retries" or "Error Handling" to the standard Workflow Action dialog. This tab should include:
   
   Enable Retry (Checkbox): To activate the mechanism for that specific action.
   
   Number of Retries (Integer): How many times the action should be re-executed before propagating a "Follow Error" result.
   
   Retry Delay (Integer/Time): The amount of time the workflow should wait before the next attempt.
   
   Delay Scale (Dropdown): Options for Seconds, Minutes, or Hours.
   
   User Story:
   "As a data engineer, I want to configure an action to retry automatically in case of a transient failure (like a network timeout or locked database) without having to build a manual loop in my workflow or restart the entire process."
   
   Goal:
   The workflow should "hold" its execution at that specific stage during the retry attempts, maintaining a cleaner and more professional orchestration logic.
