Common patterns include: + +**Standard Retry Policy Example:** +```java +// Current standard retry configuration +RetryPolicy retryPolicy = RetryPolicy.builder() + .numRetries(3) + .retryCondition(RetryCondition.defaultRetryCondition()) + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.defaultStrategy()) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.defaultThrottlingStrategy()) + .build(); + +DynamoDbClient client = DynamoDbClient.builder() + .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder() + .retryPolicy(retryPolicy) + .build()) + .build(); +``` + +### Step 2: Replace with AdaptiveRetryStrategy + +Convert your standard retry policy to AdaptiveRetryStrategy: + +**AdaptiveRetryStrategy Equivalent:** +```java +// Simplest approach: Use RetryMode.ADAPTIVE +DynamoDbClient client = DynamoDbClient.builder() + .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder() + .retryStrategy(software.amazon.awssdk.core.retry.RetryMode.ADAPTIVE) + .build()) + .build(); + +// Or using builder pattern for custom configuration +AdaptiveRetryStrategy adaptiveRetryStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(4) // numRetries(3) + 1 initial attempt = 4 total attempts + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(100), // base delay + Duration.ofSeconds(20) // max delay + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofSeconds(1), // base delay for throttling + Duration.ofSeconds(20) // max delay for throttling + )) + // Note: circuitBreakerEnabled() method doesn't exist - circuit breaking is built-in + .build(); + +DynamoDbClient client = DynamoDbClient.builder() + .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder() + .retryStrategy(adaptiveRetryStrategy) + .build()) + .build(); +``` + +### Step 3: Parameter Mapping Reference + +Use this table to map your existing retry policy parameters to AdaptiveRetryStrategy equivalents: + +| Standard Retry Policy | AdaptiveRetryStrategy | Notes | +|----------------------|----------------------|-------| +| `numRetries(n)` | `maxAttempts(n+1)` | Add 1 to account for initial attempt | +| `retryCondition()` | Built-in adaptive logic | AdaptiveRetryStrategy handles this automatically | +| `backoffStrategy()` | Built-in adaptive backoff | Uses intelligent backoff based on error patterns | +| `throttlingBackoffStrategy()` | Built-in throttling handling | Automatically adapts to throttling scenarios | + +### Step 4: Advanced Configuration Migration + +If you have custom retry configurations, here's how to migrate them: + +**Before - Custom Standard Retry:** +```java +RetryPolicy customRetryPolicy = RetryPolicy.builder() + .numRetries(5) + .retryCondition(RetryCondition.defaultRetryCondition() + .and(context -> context.exception() instanceof DynamoDbException)) + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay(Duration.ofMillis(100), Duration.ofSeconds(10))) + .build(); +``` + +**After - Custom AdaptiveRetryStrategy:** +```java +// AdaptiveRetryStrategy allows custom backoff configuration +AdaptiveRetryStrategy customAdaptiveStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(6) // 5 retries + 1 initial = 6 total attempts + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(200), // custom base delay + Duration.ofSeconds(30) // increased max delay + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(500), // longer base delay for throttling + Duration.ofMinutes(1) // extended max delay for throttling + )) + // Note: circuitBreakerEnabled() is not available - circuit breaking is built into adaptive strategy + .build(); +``` + +### Step 5: Validation and Testing + +After migration, validate your new configuration: + +1. **Compile and Run**: Ensure your application compiles and runs without errors +2. **Monitor Retry Behavior**: Observe retry patterns in your logs +3. **Performance Testing**: Compare performance before and after migration +4. **Error Handling**: Verify that error scenarios are handled appropriately + +**Example Validation Code:** +```java +// Test your new adaptive retry configuration +@Test +public void testAdaptiveRetryMigration() { + AdaptiveRetryStrategy strategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(4) + .build(); + + DynamoDbClient client = DynamoDbClient.builder() + .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder() + .retryStrategy(strategy) + .build()) + .build(); + + // Perform operations and verify retry behavior + assertNotNull(client); +} +``` + +## Critical API Differences and Common Mistakes + +### Key API Changes in AWS SDK v2 + +When migrating to AdaptiveRetryStrategy, be aware of these critical API differences: + +#### 1.

[Best Practices](#best-practices) +7. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) + +## Overview + +AdaptiveRetryStrategy is an enhanced retry mechanism in AWS SDK for Java 2.x that automatically adjusts retry behavior based on observed success/failure patterns. It builds upon StandardRetryStrategy and adds intelligent features like client-side rate limiting and adaptive backoff algorithms. + +### What's New in AdaptiveRetryStrategy + +- **Client-side rate limiting** to prevent retry storms +- **Intelligent throttling detection** with separate backoff strategies +- **Built-in circuit breaking** for failure protection +- **Adaptive learning** from retry patterns +- **Backward compatibility** with existing StandardRetryStrategy configurations + +## Key Features + +### 1. Client-Side Rate Limiting +AdaptiveRetryStrategy includes a rate limiter that tracks throttled vs. non-throttled requests, helping to prevent retry storms that can overwhelm services. + +### 2. Intelligent Throttling Handling +Uses longer delays specifically for throttling errors (e.g., 1 second vs. 100ms base delay), giving the service more time to recover. + +### 3. Adaptive Learning +The strategy learns from retry patterns and adjusts behavior dynamically based on observed success/failure rates. + +### 4. Built-in Circuit Breaking +Automatically stops retries when failure rate is too high, preventing cascading failures. + +## Getting Started + +### Basic Implementation + +```java +// Create a DynamoDbClient with AdaptiveRetryStrategy +AdaptiveRetryStrategy adaptiveRetryStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(3) + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(100), // base delay + Duration.ofSeconds(20) // max delay + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofSeconds(1), // longer base delay for throttling + Duration.ofSeconds(20) // max delay for throttling + )) + .build(); + +DynamoDbClient client = DynamoDbClient.builder() + .region(Region.US_EAST_1) + .credentialsProvider(DefaultCredentialsProvider.create()) + .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder() + .retryStrategy(adaptiveRetryStrategy) + .build()) + .build(); +``` + +### Simple Implementation + +For basic adaptive retry functionality with default settings: + +```java +DynamoDbClient client = DynamoDbClient.builder() + .region(Region.US_EAST_1) + .credentialsProvider(DefaultCredentialsProvider.create()) + .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder() + .retryStrategy(AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder().build()) + .build()) + .build(); +``` + +## Migration Guide + +### From StandardRetryStrategy to AdaptiveRetryStrategy + +#### Before (StandardRetryStrategy) +```java +StandardRetryStrategy standardRetryStrategy = StandardRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(3) + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(100), + Duration.ofSeconds(20) + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(100), // same as regular backoff + Duration.ofSeconds(20) + )) + .build(); +``` + +#### After (AdaptiveRetryStrategy) +```java +AdaptiveRetryStrategy adaptiveRetryStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(3) + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(100), + Duration.ofSeconds(20) + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofSeconds(1), // optimized for throttling + Duration.ofSeconds(20) + )) + .build(); +``` + +### Migration Benefits + +1. **No Breaking Changes**: Existing application logic remains unchanged +2. **Enhanced Performance**: Reduced unnecessary retries through pattern recognition +3. **Better Throttling Handling**: Separate backoff strategies for different error types +4. **Improved Resilience**: Built-in circuit breaking and rate limiting + +## Configuration Examples + +### 1. High-Throughput Applications + +For applications requiring minimal latency: + +```java +AdaptiveRetryStrategy highThroughputStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(2) // minimal retries for speed + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(50), // fast base delay + Duration.ofSeconds(5) // short max delay + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(200), // slightly longer for throttling + Duration.ofSeconds(10) // longer recovery time + )) + .build(); +``` + +### 2. Batch Operations + +For long-running batch operations: + +```java +AdaptiveRetryStrategy batchStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(6) // more retries for batch operations + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofSeconds(1), // longer base delay + Duration.ofMinutes(1) // extended max delay + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofSeconds(2), // even longer for batch throttling + Duration.ofMinutes(2) // extended recovery time + )) + .build(); +``` + +### 3. Custom Configuration + +For specific application requirements: + +```java +AdaptiveRetryStrategy customStrategy = AdaptiveRetryStrategy.builder() + .maxAttempts(5) + .backoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(200), // custom base delay + Duration.ofSeconds(30) // custom max delay + )) + .throttlingBackoffStrategy(BackoffStrategy.exponentialDelay( + Duration.ofMillis(500), // optimized throttling base + Duration.ofMinutes(1) // extended throttling max + )) + .build(); +``` + +## Best Practices + +### 1. Choose Appropriate Max Attempts +- **Interactive applications**: 2-3 attempts for fast response +- **Background processing**: 5-6 attempts for reliability +- **Batch operations**: 6+ attempts for maximum retry coverage + +### 2. Configure Backoff Strategies Appropriately +- Use shorter delays for regular errors +- Use longer delays for throttling errors +- Consider your application's latency requirements + +### 3. Monitor Retry Behavior +- Track retry patterns and success rates +- Adjust configuration based on observed behavior +- Monitor for retry storms or excessive throttling + +### 4. Test Under Load +- Test retry behavior under various load conditions +- Validate that adaptive features work as expected +- Ensure throttling handling improves over time + +## Troubleshooting + +### Common Issues + +#### 1. Excessive Retries +**Symptoms**: High latency, increased costs +**Solution**: Reduce `maxAttempts` or increase backoff delays + +#### 2. Throttling Not Improving +**Symptoms**: Continued throttling despite adaptive strategy +**Solution**: Increase `throttlingBackoffStrategy` delays + +#### 3. Circuit Breaker Triggering +**Symptoms**: Requests failing without retries +**Solution**: Check underlying service health, consider reducing load + +### Debugging Tips + +1. **Enable Logging**: Use appropriate log levels to track retry behavior +2. **Monitor Metrics**: Track retry counts, latency, and error rates +3. **Test Incrementally**: Start with conservative settings and adjust gradually + +## Code Examples + +The following files demonstrate different aspects of AdaptiveRetryStrategy: + +- `BasicAdaptiveRetryImplementation.java`: Basic setup and configuration +- `MigrationExamples.java`: Before/after migration examples with detailed comparisons + +## Additional Resources + +- [AWS SDK for Java 2.x Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/) +- [DynamoDB Best Practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/best-practices.html) +- [AWS SDK Retry Behavior](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-retry-behavior.html) diff --git a/javav2/example_code/dynamodb/src/test/java/DynamoDBTest.java b/javav2/example_code/dynamodb/src/test/java/DynamoDBTest.java index b0b91167725..36cc881b528 100644 --- a/javav2/example_code/dynamodb/src/test/java/DynamoDBTest.java +++ b/javav2/example_code/dynamodb/src/test/java/DynamoDBTest.java @@ -15,6 +15,8 @@ import com.example.dynamodb.SyncPagination; import com.example.dynamodb.UpdateItem; import com.example.dynamodb.UpdateTable; +import com.example.dynamodb.BasicAdaptiveRetryImplementation; +import com.example.dynamodb.MigrationExamples; import com.google.gson.Gson; import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll; import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName; @@ -38,6 +40,7 @@ import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertDoesNotThrow; import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals; import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertFalse; +import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertNotNull; /** * To run these integration tests, you must set the required values @@ -234,6 +237,78 @@ public void testScenarioPartiQL() throws IOException { logger.info("\n Test 14 passed"); } + @Test + @Tag("IntegrationTest") + @Order(15) + public void testBasicAdaptiveRetryImplementation() { + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = BasicAdaptiveRetryImplementation.createDynamoDbClientWithAdaptiveRetry(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = BasicAdaptiveRetryImplementation.createDynamoDbClientWithCustomAdaptiveRetry(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = BasicAdaptiveRetryImplementation.createDynamoDbClientWithRetryMode(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + logger.info("\n Test 15 passed"); + } + + @Test + @Tag("IntegrationTest") + @Order(16) + public void testMigrationExamples() { + // Test BEFORE methods + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createClientWithStandardRetry_BEFORE(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createClientWithCustomStandardRetry_BEFORE(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createHighThroughputClient_BEFORE(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createBatchOperationClient_BEFORE(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + + // Test AFTER methods + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createClientWithAdaptiveRetry_AFTER(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createClientWithCustomAdaptiveRetry_AFTER(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createHighThroughputClient_AFTER(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + assertDoesNotThrow(() -> { + DynamoDbClient client = MigrationExamples.createBatchOperationClient_AFTER(); + assertNotNull(client); + client.close(); + }); + logger.info("\n Test 16 passed"); + } + private static String getSecretValues() { SecretsManagerClient secretClient = SecretsManagerClient.builder() .region(Region.US_EAST_1)
