Feature Description
When configuring replication, MySQL supports specifying (among others), the following options:
vttablet exposes SOURCE_CONNECT_RETRY via --replication_connect_retry, but does not expose SOURCE_RETRY_COUNT. This was not too much of an issue since it could be configured in my.cnf. However, that has been deprecated for a while, and is no longer supported in 8.4.
Use Case(s)
This would be useful for anyone aiming at using a different value of SOURCE_CONNECT_RETRY than the default (10).
