RegulatedRepeaters

This package provides base classes to create objects which repeat a give process. The scheduling of the repetition is encoded in a Policy which can be arbitrarily complex.

For example, the definition of a schedule with a linear backoff on failure look like this:

function LinearBackoff( _wait){ BasePolicy.call( this, function(proc){ this.backoffFactor = 0 proc.waitTime = 0 }, function(proc){ this.backoffFactor = this.backoffFactor === this.maxFactor ? this.backoffFactor : this.backoffFactor + 1 proc.waitTime = proc.standardWaitTime * this.backoffFactor }, _wait )

this.maxFactor = 10 this.backoffFactor = 0 } util.inherits( LinearBackoff, BasePolicy)
