Re: Consumer service that supports retry with exponential backoff

Hi John, It doesn't seem like you care for the ordering (since you're using multiple "fallback" topics that are processed in parallel if I understood you correctly), but the alternative would be to implement the backoff using the same topic and consumer. We're using the "pausing" feature of the

Re: Consumer service that supports retry with exponential backoff

Pretty much the implementation that we're using, exception using partitions within a single topic because we have a low number of failures passing through. Granted the first partition will take the brunt of the load vs the higher order partitions. On Tue, Oct 10, 2017 at 7:30 AM, Steven

Fwd: Consumer service that supports retry with exponential backoff

I have a pair of services. One dispatches commands to the other for processing. My consumer sometimes fails to execute commands as a result of transient errors. To deal with this, commands are retried after an exponentially increasing delay up to a maximum of 4 times. (Delays: 1hr, 2hr, 4hr,
