-------------------------------------------

bq. Of course writing a new retry policy would be acceptable too, a BackingOffRetryPolicy.java or something alike?

Yes this is how I think it should be done

> Currently when stress is running against a cluster which occasionally has nodes marked as down, it will almost immediately stop. This occurs because the retry loop can execute extremely quickly if each execution terminates with a {{com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.NoHostAvailableException}} or {{com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.UnavailableException}}. 
> In case of these  exceptions is will most likely be unable to succeed if the retries are performed as fast as possible. To get around this, we could add an optional delay on retries giving the cluster time to recover rather than terminating the stress run. 
> We could make this configurable, with options such as:
> * Constant # Delays the same amount after each retry
> * Linear # Backoff a set amount * the trial number
> * Exponential # Backoff set amount * 2 ^ trial number
> This may also require adjusting the "thread is stuck check" to make sure that the max retry timeout will not cause the thread to be terminated early.
