Docs review summary

Action required

  • Add a description to the frontmatter. The page has only navigation_title (frontmatter). The page also has no products or applies_to, so the versions and deployments where max_retries and backoff_ms apply aren't stated.
  • The technical claims were not checked against product source or published docs. The defaults, the retry_exhausted event and the legacy mode have no SME evidence in the PR.
Review coverage
  • Content type: how-to with a short troubleshooting section. The page is a basic fit for the pattern.
  • Checked: user focus, technical accuracy (limited), applicability, maintainability, language, and style.
  • Not checked: the skill rule sets under .claude/skills/ were not read in this run, so the review applied the rubric directly. Technical accuracy was not checked against source or published docs.

# Retry Settings For The Ingest Pipeline

Retries are configured by the user in the pipeline settings. When a bulk request fails, the request will be retried up to the configured maximum, and a backoff delay is applied by the pipeline between each attempt.

"the request will be retried" uses future tense. Use present tense (verb tense) and active voice (voice-tone):

You configure retries in the pipeline settings. When a bulk request fails, the pipeline retries it up to the configured maximum and applies a backoff delay between attempts.


## Configure retries

To configure retries you should go into the settings file and set the following options, which is a really simple process:

"you should go into the settings file" is wordy and addresses the reader indirectly (minimal wording). Line 7 says retries are set in the "pipeline settings", while this line says "settings file" and step 1 gives a URL, so the location of the settings is unclear. Use one term throughout:

To configure retries, set the following options in the pipeline settings:

2. Set `max_retries` to the number of attempts you want.
3. Set `backoff_ms` to the delay between attempts.

Note: the default for `max_retries` is 5. Values above 10 are leveraged only in the legacy mode.

Two issues on the quoted line "Values above 10 are leveraged only in the legacy mode": "leveraged" is jargon, so use "used" (word choice). "legacy mode" is also undefined, and the default and limit are unscoped by version, so link to or define that mode. Replace the plain Note: prefix with a MyST {note} admonition, or move the default into the step 2 text.


## Troubleshooting

If requests still fail after the max retries has been reached, the failures are logged by the pipeline and the batch is dropped. Check the logs for the `retry_exhausted` event.
