   @zhangyue19921010 My point of view is that inflight clustering could mean 
that clustering is still in progress and taking some time. So, if users have 
setup clustering job as a cron with retry mode then could it be possible that 
even before clustering completes, retry is triggered and the job is repeatedly 
retrying. So, that's why I thought of having some config which will trigger 
retry only after some time has passed since last pending clustering. 
   
   I believe most users execute this job manually and not as cron so it's not a 
blocker. But, let me know your thoughts about this.
