dbt-core PR #5432 resolved dbt-core issue #5022 by adding retry functionality for dbt-postgres and dbt-redshift (as it inherits it from the former).
The docs should be changed so that users are aware of the existence of a new
retries
configuration in theprofiles.yml
of Postgres and Redshift, and that they can tweak it according to their needs.The change should add
retries
to the sampleprofiles.yml
for Postgres and Redshift, mention the default of 1, and explain how this parameter determines how many times will dbt attempt to connect a Postgres/Redshift database, which could help with transient network issues, like latency spikes.Additional information
The PR is still in development, but very close to finished, so the doc changes should line up with the dbt-core version that includes the change.
