master / backup cluster-connection options not working?

Artemis 2.9.0. (as well as 2.6.3 where I first was testing).

I've got a working master / backup cluster, using static connectors.  My
server broker.xml has these components:

    <connectors>
      <connector
name="master-connector">tcp://activemqmaster:61616</connector>
      <connector
name="slave-connector">tcp://activemqbackup:61616</connector>
    </connectors>

    <acceptors>
      <acceptor
name="netty-acceptor">tcp://0.0.0.0:61616?tcpSendBufferSize=1048576;tcpReceiveBufferSize=1048576;protocols=CORE;useEpoll=true</acceptor>
    </acceptors>

    <ha-policy>
      <shared-store>
        <master>
          <failover-on-shutdown>true</failover-on-shutdown>
        </master>
      </shared-store>
    </ha-policy>

    <cluster-connections>
      <cluster-connection name="${bc.core.deploy.env}-cluster">
        <connector-ref>master-connector</connector-ref>
        <static-connectors allow-direct-connections-only="true">
          <connector-ref>slave-connector</connector-ref>
        </static-connectors>
      </cluster-connection>
    </cluster-connections>

I want to adjust the behaviour when (for example) master starts up and the
backup server isn't present.  With the above, the master console just shows
exception after exception like this:

 2019-07-11 15:38:45,750 ERROR [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.client]
AMQ214016: Failed to create netty connection: java.net.UnknownHostException:
activemqbackup
activemqmaster_1     |  at
java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName0(InetAddress.java:1281) [rt.jar:1.8.0_212]

every half second.  (Well - twice every half second for some reason - there
seem to be two threads or something trying to connect to the backup server).

When I try to add options into the <cluster-connection>, some of them work,
some of them don't seem to work, and some cause compile errors when Artemis
starts up.  For example, adding: 

   <retry-interval>2</retry-interval>

setting works - the retries go from every half second to every 2 seconds
(although there seem to be two threads trying to connect).

Adding:
  
    <retry-interval-multiplier>1.5</retry-interval-multiplier>

doesn't seem to make any difference - the exceptions still come every 2
seconds.

Adding a 

    <initial-connect-attempts>3</initial-connect-attempts>

to try to limit the initial number of connection attempts yields an error 

activemqmaster_1     | Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element
'initial-connect-attempts'. One of

activemqmaster_1     |  at
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:203)

when I look at the artemis-configuration.xsd, the "cluster-connectionType"
has "initial-connect-attempts" defined.
         <xsd:element name="initial-connect-attempts" type="xsd:int"
default="-1" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0">
            <xsd:annotation>
               <xsd:documentation>
                  How many attempts should be made to connect initially
               </xsd:documentation>
            </xsd:annotation>
         </xsd:element>

What I'm trying to get to is something like this:

    <cluster-connections>
      <cluster-connection name="${bc.core.deploy.env}-cluster">
        <connector-ref>master-connector</connector-ref>
        <retry-interval>2000</retry-interval>
        <retry-interval-multiplier>1.5</retry-interval-multiplier>
        <max-retry-interval>120000</max-retry-interval>
        <reconnect-attempts>30</reconnect-attempts>
        <initial-connect-attempts>30</initial-connect-attempts>
        <static-connectors allow-direct-connections-only="true">
          <connector-ref>slave-connector</connector-ref>
        </static-connectors>
      </cluster-connection>
    </cluster-connections>


Does anyone have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks, Justin.  That does indeed allow me to start up without error.

However - some of the various options don't seem to do anything,  as
indicated in the initial post.

For example - the multiplier doesn't seem to do anything - the reconnect
errors keep coming at 2000 ms intervals...

Any ideas on that?

Thanks!

Try this syntax adjustment:

    <cluster-connections>
      <cluster-connection name="${bc.core.deploy.env}-cluster">
        <connector-ref>master-connector</connector-ref>
        <retry-interval>2000</retry-interval>
        <retry-interval-multiplier>1.5</retry-interval-multiplier>
        <max-retry-interval>120000</max-retry-interval>
        <initial-connect-attempts>30</initial-connect-attempts>
        <reconnect-attempts>30</reconnect-attempts>
        <static-connectors allow-direct-connections-only="true">
          <connector-ref>slave-connector</connector-ref>
        </static-connectors>
      </cluster-connection>
    </cluster-connections>

I swapped the order of <reconnect-attempts> and <initial-connect-attempts>.
The XSD wants the elements in <cluster-connection> to be in a particular
order. We should probably change that as it's not very user friendly.
