Issue in Connection timeout when CrateDB is not available

[daminichopra]

I am using CrateDb for my application but facing an issue while receiving a notification, if the DB isn't available then it returns 500 Internal Error quickly.
CrateDb has no retry interval between total retries. So, i suggest that CrateDb should wait for certain time between retries and do not return result immediately.

As per my analysis, the parameter "backoff_factor" is defined in crateDB, which is used to define the time-interval between consecutive retries. The default value of backoff_factor can be assigned as "0.0" and it can be changed as per requirement.
I am using CrateDb version : 3.1.2

Also, Please find attached logs for the same.

Hi @autophagy , I have fixed the code in cratedb. Now , i want to test code locally for which i am using pytest but test cases are not running.
Can you please guide me for the steps on how to run test cases in crateDB.
Thank you :)
