Support random jitter combined with other delay options. #26
Conversation
Adds `RandomDelay` and `CombineDelay` as `DelayTypeFunc`s Adds `CombineDelay` which allows multiple `DelayTypeFunc`s to b chained together. Updates the default `DelayTypeFunc` to exponential backoff with random jitter.

Hi @acourtneybrown, thanks for your PR. I like the idea of |

Hey @JaSei, I won't be able to state it nearly as completely as StackOverflow or the AWS blog, but basically, adding the random jitter to the delay helps avoid a large number of similar clients from retrying at the same time after earlier failures. I could easily see reducing the default jitter from the max of 100ms in the current PR. Can you explain why you might prefer |

Thanks to references - it make sense... |

Issue #9 initially proposed having a random jitter component to the delay; however, PR #12 omitted the random jitter. This PR adds both a
RandomDelay(for jitter) andCombineDelay(to allow combining any number of delays). In addition, the default delay changes from exponential backoff (BackOffDelay) to exponential backoff with random jitter (BackOffDelay&RandomDelay).
