Currently, neutronclient is hardcoded to only try a request once in retry_request by virtue of the fact that it uses self.retries as the retry count, and that's initialized to 0 and never changed. We've seen an issue where we get an ssl handshaking error intermittently (seems like more of an ssl bug) and a retry would probably have worked. Yet, since neutronclient only tries once and gives up, it fails the entire operation. Here is the code in question: https://github.com/openstack/python-neutronclient/blob/master/neutronclient/v2_0/client.py#L1296 Does anybody know if there's some explicit reason we don't currently allow configuring the number of retries? If not, I'm inclined to propose a change for just that. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
