What is the equivalent of ExponentialRetryPolicyFilter in the latest Azure Storage SDK for JavaScript

Question

I am currently working on a project that uses the legacy azure-storage-node package.

I have been working on migrating the whole application to use the upgraded packages, as recommended by Microsoft. I am following along using the Migration Guides for blobs, queues, and tables individually. I cannot find anywhere in the data-tables guide or the examples that mentions how to set up retry options.

Currently we have this code using the old SDK:

const azureStorage = require('azure-storage');
const retryOperations = new azureStorage.ExponentialRetryPolicyFilter();

const tableSvc = azureStorage.createTableService(<connectionString>).withFilter(retryOperations);

And the beginning of my new code:

const { 
    AzureNamedKeyCredential,
    TableServiceClient,
    TableEntity,
    odata
} = require("@azure/data-tables");

const tableSvc = TableServiceClient.fromConnectionString(<connectionString>);
// .withFilter()

How can I apply the same retry options to tableSvc in my new code? I also need to do the same for my queues and blobs.

Answer 1

2nd parameter for TableServiceClient.fromConnectionString is the options and this is where you would specify the retry policy.

Something like:

const tableSvc = TableServiceClient.fromConnectionString(<connectionString>, {
  retryOptions: {
    maxRetries: 5,
    maxRetryDelayInMs: 10000,
    retryDelayInMs: 1000
  }
});
