Description

We need some mechanism for RPC calls that get exceptions to automatically retry the call under certain circumstances. In particular, we often end up with calls to rpcs being wrapped with retry loops for timeouts. We should be able to make a retrying proxy that will call the rpc and retry in some circumstances.
