ContainerClient retry options broken?

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/ffe6a56bff6cd01493e47d3e50957c748a7ce632/sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob/azure/storage/blob/_blob_client.py#L169

No matter how I set the retry options, they are not being used by the below code -

        blob_container_client = ContainerClient(account_url=self.url,
                                                credential=self.sas_token,
                                                container_name=self.container_name,
                                                retry_total=2,
                                                retry_connect=2,
                                                retry_read=2,
                                                retry_status=2,
                                                retry_mode=RetryMode.Fixed,
                                                retry_backoff_factor=0.8
                                                )

Is it because the sdk code in ContainerClient --> __init__ is NOT passing the **kwargs to AzureBlobStorage ?

Hi @shahdadpuri-varun, which blob operation are you trying to perform where these are failing? Note that ContainerClient is inheriting from StorageAccountHostsMixin. We initialize our pipeline there where we also initialize our policies. Including our Retry policies. You can find this if you had dug deeper into the inherited class. Eventually we hit: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/91b3438381185e3771a719ef907d4f4ea7fa40d4/sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob/azure/storage/blob/_shared/base_client.py#L235 Where we pass **kwargs and initialize the retry policy.
