/**
 * A mechanism for selectively retrying methods that throw exceptions under
 * certain circumstances.
 * Typical usage is
 *  UnreliableImplementation unreliableImpl = new UnreliableImplementation();
 *  UnreliableInterface unreliable = (UnreliableInterface)
 *  RetryProxy.create(UnreliableInterface.class, unreliableImpl,
 *  RetryPolicies.retryUpToMaximumCountWithFixedSleep(4, 10,
 *      TimeUnit.SECONDS));
 *  unreliable.call();
 *
 * This will retry any method called on <code>unreliable</code> four times -
 * in this case the <code>call()</code> method - sleeping 10 seconds between
 * each retry. There are a number of
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryPolicies retry policies}
 * available, or you can implement a custom one by implementing
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryPolicy}.
 * It is also possible to specify retry policies on a
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryProxy#create(Class, Object, Map)
 * per-method basis}.
