Satheesha,
Currently, Falcon does not store the number of retry attempts. It just
relies on Oozie's runId of the workflow/coordinator action. You can use the
same to determine, if 'n' attempts have completed. Oozie's special function
${wf:id()} allows you to do that.

Having said that, if your workflow is failing because of unavailability of
data, you should consider modeling the dataset as a Falcon feed on which
the process depends and waits for. If data is unavailable for a specified
time, the instance will gracefully TIME_OUT. This will save resources and
also will allow you distinguish between failures due to unavailability of
data and other failures.

Regards,
Pallavi
