+# backoff
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/cenkalti/backoff?status.png)](https://godoc.org/github.com/cenkalti/backoff)
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cenkalti/backoff.png)](https://travis-ci.org/cenkalti/backoff)
+
+This is a Go port of the exponential backoff algorithm from
+[google-http-java-client](https://code.google.com/p/google-http-java-client/wiki/ExponentialBackoff).
+
+[Exponential backoff](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff)
+is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process,
+in order to gradually find an acceptable rate.
+The retries exponentially increase and stop increasing when a certain threshold is met.
+
+
+
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/cenkalti/backoff
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Simple retry helper that uses exponential back-off algorithm:
+
+```go
+operation := func() error {
+    // An operation that might fail
+}
+
+err := backoff.Retry(operation, backoff.NewExponentialBackOff())
+if err != nil {
+    // handle error
+}
+
+// operation is successfull
+```
+
+Ticker example:
+
+```go
+operation := func() error {
+    // An operation that may fail
+}
+
+b := backoff.NewExponentialBackOff()
+ticker := backoff.NewTicker(b)
+
+var err error
+
+// Ticks will continue to arrive when the previous operation is still running,
+// so operations that take a while to fail could run in quick succession.
+for t = range ticker.C {
+    if err = operation(); err != nil {
+        log.Println(err, "will retry...")
+        continue
+    }
+
+    ticker.Stop()
+    break
+}
+
+if err != nil {
+    // Operation has failed.
+}
+
+// Operation is successfull.
+```

+ExponentialBackOff is an implementation of BackOff that increases the back off
+period for each retry attempt using a randomization function that grows exponentially.
+
+NextBackOff() is calculated using the following formula:
+
+	randomized_interval =
+	    retry_interval * (random value in range [1 - randomization_factor, 1 + randomization_factor])
+
+In other words NextBackOff() will range between the randomization factor
+percentage below and above the retry interval. For example, using 2 seconds as the base retry
+interval and 0.5 as the randomization factor, the actual back off period used in the next retry
+attempt will be between 1 and 3 seconds.
+
+Note: max_interval caps the retry_interval and not the randomized_interval.
+
+If the time elapsed since an ExponentialBackOff instance is created goes past the
+max_elapsed_time then the method NextBackOff() starts returning backoff.Stop.
+The elapsed time can be reset by calling Reset().
+
+Example: The default retry_interval is .5 seconds, default randomization_factor is 0.5, default
+multiplier is 1.5 and the default max_interval is 1 minute. For 10 tries the sequence will be
+(values in seconds) and assuming we go over the max_elapsed_time on the 10th try:
