/**
 * {@link Beta} <br>
 * Implementation of {@link BackOffPolicy} that increases the back off period for each retry attempt
 * using a randomization function that grows exponentially.
 *
 * <p>{@link #getNextBackOffMillis()} is calculated using the following formula:
 *
 * <pre>
 * randomized_interval =
 *     retry_interval * (random value in range [1 - randomization_factor, 1 + randomization_factor])
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>In other words {@link #getNextBackOffMillis()} 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.
 *
 * <p><b>Note:</b> max_interval caps the retry_interval and not the randomized_interval.
 *
 * <p>If the time elapsed since an {@link ExponentialBackOffPolicy} instance is created goes past
 * the max_elapsed_time then the method {@link #getNextBackOffMillis()} starts returning {@link
 * BackOffPolicy#STOP}. The elapsed time can be reset by calling {@link #reset()}.
 *
 * <p>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 requests the sequence
 * will be (values in seconds) and assuming we go over the max_elapsed_time on the 10th request:
 *
 * <pre>
 * request#     retry_interval     randomized_interval
 *
 * 1             0.5                [0.25,   0.75]
 * 2             0.75               [0.375,  1.125]
 * 3             1.125              [0.562,  1.687]
 * 4             1.687              [0.8435, 2.53]
 * 5             2.53               [1.265,  3.795]
 * 6             3.795              [1.897,  5.692]
 * 7             5.692              [2.846,  8.538]
 * 8             8.538              [4.269, 12.807]
 * 9            12.807              [6.403, 19.210]
 * 10           19.210              {@link BackOffPolicy#STOP}
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Implementation is not thread-safe.
 *
 * @since 1.7
 * @author Ravi Mistry
 * @deprecated (scheduled to be removed in 1.18). Use {@link HttpBackOffUnsuccessfulResponseHandler}
 *     with {@link ExponentialBackOff} instead.
