Title:
Error back-off too aggressive
Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
It looks like requests to the remote server time out more often than
we care to admit. When that happens, we treat the failure as a
temporary and surprising error and disable remote server access for
two hours.
We need something more sophisticated so we can react to timeout errors
with a different strategy than to other temporary surprising errors.
The problem is that a dead server is indistinguishable from a slow
one, so we probably need some exponential back-off strategy, or count
the number of consecutive timeout failures and trigger the full two-
hour back-off only if some threshold is exceeded.
