V2.2.2 / AWS S3 Output Plugin / retry_limit not taken into account

[JSchy65]

Fluent Bit Version 2.2.2 Jan. 15 2024
AWS S3 Output Plugin, https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/s3

For the Configuration Parameter retry_limit the documentation says:
"Integer value to set the maximum number of retries allowed. Note: this configuration is released since version 1.9.10 and 2.0.1. For previous version, the number of retries is 5 and is not configurable."

This is not true. For 2.2.2 that parameter is also not taken into account. Instead, the fixed value MAX_UPLOAD_ERRORS=5 is used.

I kindly ask you to update the 2.2.x code in a way, that it takes this parameter into account. Otherwise, that version will not be usable in environments, where network connection is often lost for more than 100s (*), e.g. edge device scenarios.

(*) put object: MAX_UPLOAD_ERRORS=5 x2 x10s = 100s
The x2 seems also to be fixed implemented and also the retry time of 10s.
