20<B>RETRY STRATEGY</B>
21  There are a number of reasons that gsutil operations can fail; some are not
22  retryable, and require that the user take some action, for example:
23    - Invalid credentials
24    - Network unreachable because of a proxy configuration problem
25    - Access denied, because the bucket or object you are trying to use has an
26      ACL that doesn't permit the action you're trying to perform.
27
28  In other cases errors are retryable - basically, the HTTP 429 and 5xx error
29  codes. For these cases, gsutil will retry using a truncated binary exponential
30  backoff strategy:
31
32    - Wait a random period between [0..1] seconds and retry;
33    - If that fails, wait a random period between [0..2] seconds and retry;
34    - If that fails, wait a random period between [0..4] seconds and retry;
35    - And so on, up to a configurable maximum number of retries (default = 6),
36    with each retry period bounded by a configurable maximum period of time
37    (default = 60 seconds).
38
39  Thus, by default, gsutil will retry 6 times over 1+2+4+8+16+32=63 seconds.
40  You can adjust the number of retries and maximum delay of any individual retry
41  by editing the num_retries and max_retry_delay configuration variables in the
42  "[Boto]" section of the .boto config file. Most users shouldn't need to change
43  these values.
44
45  For data transfers (the gsutil cp and rsync commands), gsutil provides
46  additional retry functionality, in the form of resumable transfers.
47  Essentially, a transfer that was interrupted because of a transient error
48  can be restarted without starting over from scratch. For more details
49  about this, see the "RESUMABLE TRANSFERS" section of "gsutil help cp".
