Description
As per the driver specification for retryable writes (present in retryable-writes.rst), there is no mention of the time limit within which the mongo driver should issue a retry write (if applicable). The spec only mentions limitation on the number of times a write can be retried (one time).
Does this mean that it is legal for a driver to issue a retry write command after waiting for random amount of time?
