Property Description
retriesRemaning Species the number of aempts remaining to move this request from its current state to
the next state in the request workow.
Some state transitions require calls to external services. These calls may fail due to
transient errors such as momentary network errors. In these cases, the catalog will retry
the call a number of times before failing.
This property denes the number of retries remaining for the current state transition.
When it reaches 0, the catalog will stop retrying and mark the request as failed. This
property is reset to the default number of retries for every new operation that is
triggered.
