Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-9717: ----------------------------------------- There are two choices on how the retry information can be conveyed from the client to the server: # Add a boolean field "retry" which is set to false for first attempt and true for subsequent retries. # Add an int (or byte?) field "retryCount" which is set to 0 for the first attempt and then to retry count for retried requests. I prefer the option 2.
