Support for max retry backoff time (#750)

[pricelessjunk]

Problem

The current max retry back off time is set at a constant of 24 hours. This duration is too long to be practical.

Solution

Making the duration configurable by creating a new property max.retry.duration.ms. This property has the following features

• It has a default value of 24 hours (just like before).
• It must have a value greater than the value of retry.backoff.ms (initial backoff time). If a smaller or equal value is set, a warning message is thrown and the default value is selected instead.

Does this solution apply anywhere else?

• yes
• no
