Method Detail

exponentialBackoffSleep

public static void exponentialBackoffSleep(int attempt)

Sleep for an exponentially backing off amount of time, in milliseconds. Thus the first attempt will sleep for 1 ms, the second for 2, the third for 4, etc.

Parameters:

attempt - The attempt number, which is the log2 of the number of milliseconds spent asleep.

exponentialBackoffSleep

public static void exponentialBackoffSleep(int attempt,
                                           int timeunit)

Sleep for an exponentially backing off amount of time. The mode describes the unit of time as defined by @see java.util.Calendar

Parameters:

attempt - The attempt number, which is the log2 of the number of timeunits spent asleep.

timeunit - the specified timeunit in miliseconds

Throws:

ArgumentNotValid - if timeunit is unsupported.

readableTimeInterval

public static String readableTimeInterval(long millis)

Method for translating a time in milliseconds to a human readable String. E.g. the argument "604800000" should result in "7 days".

Parameters:

millis - The amount of milliseconds.

Returns:

The human readable string.
