I want to implement delayed retry mechanism in Sink connector , I see that if we throw  
RetriableException from put method, events are retried.  
I found the following two properties to introduce a delay in subsequent retries but it is not taking effect.  
“errors.retry.timeout”:600000,  
“errors.retry.delay.max.ms”:300000,

I have put these two in the connectors config. I am using kafka-connect 2.6 APIs.

Kafka public doc : [Apache Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org/21/documentation.html#connectconfigs)  
RetriableException: [https://github.com/jcustenborder/kafka-connect-solr/blob/c917b5c8e938575b6880729f3dbbb7cac4062cb8/src/main/java/com/github/jcustenborder/kafka/connect/solr/SolrSinkTask.java](https://github.com/jcustenborder/kafka-connect-solr/blob/c917b5c8e938575b6880729f3dbbb7cac4062cb8/src/main/java/com/github/jcustenborder/kafka/connect/solr/SolrSinkTask.java)
