feat: add exponential backoff strategy for retry

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -2,6 +2,7 @@
 
 ### Features
 1. [#150](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-java/pull/150): flux-dsl: added support for an offset parameter to limit operator, aggregates accept only a 'column' parameter
+1. [#156](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-java/pull/156): Added exponential backoff strategy for batching writes. Default value for `retryInterval` is 5_000 milliseconds.
 
 ### API
 1. [#139](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-java/pull/148): Changed default port from 9999 to 8086
