Working prod solution.

public int callAPI() {
    return 1; //some method to be retried
}

public int retrylogic()  throws InterruptedException, IOException{
    int retry = 0;
    int status = -1;
    boolean delay = false;
    do {
        if (delay) {
            Thread.sleep(2000);
        }

        try {
            status = callAPI();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error occured");
            status = -1;
        }
        finally {
            switch (status) {
            case 200:
                System.out.println(" **OK**");
                return status; 
            default:
                System.out.println(" **unknown response code**.");
                break;
            }
            retry++;
            System.out.println("Failed retry " + retry + "/" + 3);
            delay = true;

        } 
    }while (retry < 3);

    System.out.println("Aborting download of dataset.");
    return status;
}
