Define the interface for controlling how the Bigtable client retries RPC operations.
The C++ client for Bigtable needs to hide partial and temporary failures from the application. However, we need to give the users enough flexibility to control how many attempts are made to reissue operations, how often these attempts are executed, and how to signal that an error has occurred.
The application provides an instance of this class when the Table (or TableAdmin) object is created. This instance serves as a prototype to create new RPCRetryPolicy objects of the same (dynamic) type and with the same initial state.
Functions
clone() const
Return a new copy of this object.
Typically implemented as ```cpp
return std::unique_ptr
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Hard to understand","hardToUnderstand","thumb-down"],["Incorrect information or sample code","incorrectInformationOrSampleCode","thumb-down"],["Missing the information/samples I need","missingTheInformationSamplesINeed","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-03-05 UTC."],[[["This document details the `RPCRetryPolicy` class in the Google Cloud Bigtable C++ client, focusing on how it manages retries for RPC operations to handle temporary failures."],["The `RPCRetryPolicy` class allows users to customize the number of retry attempts, the frequency of these attempts, and the criteria for determining if an error occurred."],["Instances of `RPCRetryPolicy` are used as prototypes to create new retry policy objects of the same type and initial state when creating `Table` or `TableAdmin` objects."],["Key functions include `clone()` for creating copies, `Setup()` for configuring the `ClientContext`, and `OnFailure()` for determining if an RPC should be retried after a failure."],["The class also provides methods like `IsExhausted()` to check if the retry policy has run out of retries and static methods `IsPermanentFailure()` to identify failures that should not be retried."]]],[]]
