Description

I'm using LoadBalancingLog4jAppender.To be failoverUnder the condition of one of log server is down. If I set a max back off time,LoadBalancingLog4jAppender will try to reconnect log server after a time( generate by exponential backoff algorithm in class OrderSelector)
The problems is that, the time generate by exponential backoff algorithm always be 2000ms. not increating by algorithm.
If I change the condition (allowableDiff > delta) to (allowableDiff < delta), it works fine. from line 103 of OrderSelector
