 * Allows implementors to control how certain exceptions should be handled.

 * for handling exceptions that are thrown by a lower layer that handles the consensus and
 * synchronization between different server nodes. E.g. if an operation fails because consensus for
 * a Git update could not be achieved (e.g. due to slow responding server nodes) this interface can
 * be used to retry the request instead of failing it immediately.
