Hi!  
Low level rest client retry only case 502, 503 or 504 response statuses. I can't change retry logic when in java.net.ConnectException the request was sent to other nodes ?  
Do I understand correctly ?

Could you point out in principle the possibility or impossibility of customasing retry logic?
