Sender methods are not retrying on all scenarios

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Face a JSON InternalServerError when calling send(Message, List<String>, int)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It's expected that the Sender retries to send the messages in the same way when 
a JSON UnavailableError is received.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.0.2 on Ubuntu 64bits

Please provide any additional information below.

Attached a patch to fix the issue, I'll add a git clone soon.

Sender should retry in the following scenarios (where it currently doesn't):
- error 500 on plain-text post
- IOException on plain-text post  
- InternalServerError error code on JSON post
- IOException on JSON post

We'll fix it for next release.

Hi,
Thanks for the review.
Please also consider the "Google Proxy" 502 error which tells us to retry in 
30s:

}}}

All kind of 50x errors should be processed the same way I guess (check for 
Retry-After header or use exponential back off if missing).

Changed state: Fixed

4XX errors are also retried, like invalid TTL:

IOException on attempt 1 : HTTP Status Code: 400(Invalid value (2419201) for 
"time_to_live": must be between 0 and "2419200")
IOException on attempt 2 : HTTP Status Code: 400(Invalid value (2419201) for 
"time_to_live": must be between 0 and "2419200")

4XX should be fatal.
