- Kube-scheduler implemented scheduling hints for the `NodeResourceFit` plugin. The scheduling hints allowed the scheduler to only retry scheduling a Pod that had been previously rejected...

- If scheduling fails on PreBind or Bind, scheduler will retry the failed pod immediately after backoff time, regardless of the reason for failing. In this case EventsToRegister (QHints) will not be taken into consideration before retry.

    parameter to be non-null was an unintended signature change in OkHttp 4.0.

 *  New: `EventListener.retryDecision()` is called each time a request fails with an `IOException`.
    It notifies your listener if OkHttp will retry.

 *  New: `EventListener.followUpDecision()` is called each time a response is received. It notifies
    your listener if OkHttp has decided to make a follow-up request. Some common follow-ups are

* Retry 'connection refused' errors when setting up clusters on GCE. ([#57394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57394), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

- Introduce a new server run option 'shutdown-send-retry-after'. If true the HTTP Server will continue listening until all non longrunning request(s) in flight have been drained, during this window all incoming requests will be rejected with a status code `429` and a 'Retry-After' response header.
