How to reduce the retry count for python client? #962

What happened (please include outputs or screenshots):

I am having a config file of a dead/deleted/inaccessible cluster.
I am trying to accessing the cluster using kubernetes-client-python.
By default kube-client retries it 3 times,

WARNING Retrying (Retry(total=2, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x00000000096E3860>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond',)': /api/v1/pods

WARNING Retrying (Retry(total=1,....... /api/v1/pods

WARNING Retrying (Retry(total=0,....... /api/v1/pods

After 3 retries it throws an exception.

Is there any way to reduce the count.

Example Code

from kubernetes import client, config

config.load_kube_config(config_file='location-for-kube-config')

v1 = client.CoreV1Api()
ret = v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces()
for i in ret.items:
    print("%s\t%s\t%s" % (i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))

What you expected to happen:

I need to configure the retry count for inaccessible/accessible k8s cluster.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Delete the kubernetes cluster, then try to access the cluster using kubernetes-client-python.
By default it will perform retry for 3 times.
