As title, are there any jdbc input configuration options to set retry counts? Say, when jdbc unable connect to sql server, it will retry 3 times and exit.

I have tried `connection_retry_attempts` with value 3, it is expected to retry 3 times and stop, but it keeps retring.

I have also tried `jdbc_validate_connection` but no luck.

Any ideas will be appreciated.
