Merge methods in FailoverTransfer
These two methods should be merged together: https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/blob/41c6ed285bd34ab573caa3651f3aa63d6c3df87b/DataManagementSystem/Client/FailoverTransfer.py#L66 https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/blob/41c6ed285bd34ab573caa3651f3aa63d6c3df87b/DataManagementSystem/Client/FailoverTransfer.py#L154
They largely overlap, and having them as a single method would allow for more clever retry mechanism. Triggered by https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/pull/4699)
transferAndRegisterFileFailover already calls transferAndRegisterFile. If they need to be merged, the transferAndRegisterFile would be the one merged in transferAndRegisterFileFailover.
why ? I'd keep that one opened. Indeed it's not planned, but it would still be nice to have :-/
It opened in 2020, and "it does not seem urgent". We have many other important things to concentrate on, this does not look like one of them. But you are keen on it, re-open it.
