From 6a63e8d6830ff6e01454ee116c6df36294818cdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mdooley Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 10:49:59 -0800 Subject: Adding exponential backoff utilities This cl adds two classes, one to calculate a base multiplier for an exponential backoff series and the other to return sequential values in an exponential backoff series. This cl has a number of advantages over the previous one, such as: - separating the base multiplier calculation from the exponential backoff class so that a standard exponential backoff class like com.google.common.labs.concurrent.RetryStrategy.ExponentialBackoff could be used instead if it becomes open source - allows the backoff sequence to be scaled by specify an initial backoff delay - uses milliseconds instead of arbitrary time units which allows the tolerance to be set automatically when calculating the base multiplier WANT_LGTM=zachh Bug: 66966157 Test: unit tests PiperOrigin-RevId: 176130268 Change-Id: I75135d4df16f642ea9dd3ef9ff9498981beae2c6 --- .../dialer/common/backoff/ExponentialBackoff.java | 96 ++++++++++++++++ .../common/backoff/ExponentialBaseCalculator.java | 126 +++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 222 insertions(+) create mode 100644 java/com/android/dialer/common/backoff/ExponentialBackoff.java create mode 100644 java/com/android/dialer/common/backoff/ExponentialBaseCalculator.java (limited to 'java/com/android/dialer/common/backoff') diff --git a/java/com/android/dialer/common/backoff/ExponentialBackoff.java b/java/com/android/dialer/common/backoff/ExponentialBackoff.java new file mode 100644 index 000000000..67727d8c2 --- /dev/null +++ b/java/com/android/dialer/common/backoff/ExponentialBackoff.java @@ -0,0 +1,96 @@ +/* + * Copyright (C) 2017 The Android Open Source Project + * + * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); + * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. + * You may obtain a copy of the License at + * + * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 + * + * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software + * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, + * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. + * See the License for the specific language governing permissions and + * limitations under the License. + */ + +package com.android.dialer.common.backoff; + +import com.android.dialer.common.Assert; + +/** + * Given an initial backoff delay, D, a base multiplier, B, and a total number of backoffs, N, this + * class returns values in the exponential sequence, D, D*B, D*B^2, ...
