[WORKFLOW SDK FEATURE REQUEST] Address many gotchas in workflow activities RetryPolicy #836
Description
Describe the WORKFLOW SDK feature
There are multiple gotchas in the workflow activity retry policies as described below:
ACTIVITY_RETRY_POLICY = RetryPolicy(
first_retry_interval=timedelta(seconds=1),
# max_number_of_attempts is the total attempt count, not the retry count
max_number_of_attempts=5,
backoff_coefficient=3,
# Set max_retry_interval else there won't be any retries
max_retry_interval=timedelta(seconds=10),
# DON'T set retry_timeout. If the timeout is hit, the entire workflow fails and the
# final activity isn't executed.
)
