The base amount of time to wait before attempting to reconnect to a given host. This avoids repeatedly connecting to a host in a tight loop.

Description

The base amount of time to wait before attempting to reconnect to a given host. This avoids repeatedly connecting to a host in a tight loop. This backoff applies to all connection attempts by the client to a broker. This value is the initial backoff value and will increase exponentially for each consecutive connection failure, up to the reconnect.backoff.max.ms value.
