ExponentialBackOff (Spring Framework 4.1.0.RELEASE API)

java.lang.Object
- org.springframework.util.backoff.ExponentialBackOff

All Implemented Interfaces:

BackOff
```
public class ExponentialBackOff
extends Object
implements BackOff
```
Implementation of BackOff that increases the back off period for each retry attempt. When the interval has reached the max interval, it is no longer increased. Stops retrying once the max elapsed time has been reached.
Example: The default interval is 2000Lms, default multiplier is 1.5 and the default max interval is 30000L. For 10 attempts the sequence will be as follows:
```
 request#     back off

  1              2000
  2              3000
  3              4500
  4              6750
  5             10125
  6             15187
  7             22780
  8             30000
  9             30000
 10             30000
 
```
Note that the default max elapsed time is Long.MAX_VALUE. Use setMaxElapsedTime(long) to limit the maximum number of time that an instance should accumulate before returning BackOffExecution.STOP.
