ConfigMapPropertySource can't read configMap. Retry Policy?

Related with this Issue #400

Could a retry policy be sense to read ConfigMap?

We work with: spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-config 1.0.2.RELEASE version. gke cluster 1.12.8-gke.10 version.

We have a microservice(MS) where we read a configMap. Most of the time the configmap load is successful but sometimes a warning message like this appears:

2019-07-30 10:18:52,184 [main]WARN org.springframework.cloud.kubernetes.config.ConfigMapPropertySource - Can't read configMap with name: [employee-ms] in namespace:[test]. Ignoring

In our case, load of external configuration in our MS is mandatory.

As we didn’t know what the error might be, we made a few changes to the spring-cloud-kubernetes-config.

1. We add the exception to the warning trace.

We discover that the error was for a connection refuse

1. We have defined a retry policy with a number between -1 and N> 0, where -1 is infinite retries. Foreach retry we wait 1 second.

Got bit by this as well. I would far rather the application to crash if it can’t start up with its intended config, than to start with incorrect config.

I am in favor of this, it would be awesome if you wanted to try and submit a PR for it
