Connection recovery fails and gives up even though recovery policy is recoverAlways()

[amertahir]

After several attempts at recovery, the recovery fails on java.net.ConnectException:

[lyra-recovery-1] ERROR n.j.lyra.internal.ConnectionHandler - Failed to recover connection cxn-3

The connection retry and recovery policies are set to always retry and recover:

Config lyraConf = new Config()
    .withRecoveryPolicy(RecoveryPolicies.recoverAlways().withBackoff(Duration.seconds(1), Duration.seconds(20)))
    .withRetryPolicy(RetryPolicies.retryAlways().withBackoff(Duration.seconds(1), Duration.seconds(20)));

ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions(factory);
myClass.setConnection(Connections.create(options, lyraConf));

We don't have enough information to help. Please provide a standalone project and steps to reproduce the issue.

Note Lyra is no longer maintained, you should use the RabbitMQ Java client, which provide automatic connection and topology recovery.
