Description

HADOOP-9106 introduced a configurable retry timeout when there are socket timeouts errors.

Since the IPC client is used by a wide variety of applications including realtime/online ones (like hbase + hdfs), we sometimes need fast fail timeouts which are < 3 seconds. Achieving such a timeout for connect is very difficult with a 1 second sleep in b/w retries. It would be good to remove this sleep.
