What's the Scala way to implement a retry-able call like this one?

Question

Still the newbie in Scala and I\'m now looking for a way to implement the following code on it:

@Override
public void store(InputStream source, String destin

Minor improvement to printout attempt x of N

// Returning T, throwing the exception on failure
      @annotation.tailrec
      final def retry[T](n: Int, name: String ="", attemptCount:Int = 1)(fn: => T): T = {
        logger.info(s"retry count: attempt $attemptCount of $n ....... function: $name")
        try {
          val result = fn
          logger.info(s"Succeeded: attempt $attemptCount of $n ....... function: $name")
          result
        } catch {
          case e: Throwable =>
            if (n < attemptCount) { Thread.sleep(5000 * attemptCount); retry(n, name, attemptCount+1)(fn) }
            else throw e 
        }
      }
