Description

Cloudant's java-cloudant library (which is currently used for testing) contains several features that sql-cloudant can benefit from:

• HTTP 429 backoff
• View builder API to potentially simplify loading for _all_docs/views
• Improved exception handling when executing HTTP requests
• Future support for IAM API key

Would need to replace current scala HTTP library with OkHttp library, and also replace play-json with GSON library.
