Description

The current failover behavior attempt to connect to one URI from the possible list of failover URIs when attempting to reestablish the connect before it applies the configured reconnect delay. Instead it should attempt the full batch before performing delay and backoff handling.

Also the reconnect attempts are counted per URI instead of once for each cycle though the batch of available URIs meaning that if the value is to low it might not be able to try all of the configured URIs before reaching the max attempts. Track the attempts for the complete batch instead to allow all to be tried at least once before giving up.
