At least concerning thi spoint we devs had no confusion. The docs under
dist have been updated when 1.2.18 has been put on dev:

http://tomcat.apache.org/dev/docs/tomcat-connectors-1.2.18/config/workers.html

says for recover_time:

The recover time is the time in seconds the load balancer will not try
to use a worker, after it went into error state. Only after this time
has passed, a worker in error state will be marked as in recovering, so
that it will be tried for new requests.

This interval is not checked every time a request is being processed.
Instead it is being checked during global maintenance. The time between
two runs of global maintenance is controlled by worker.maintain.

Do not set recover_time to a very short time unless you understand the
implications. Every recovery attempt for a worker in error is done by a
real request!

And worker.maintain is explained as:

Worker connection pool maintain interval in seconds. If set to the
positive value JK will scan all connections for all workers specified in
worker.list directive and check if connections needs to be recycled.

Furthermore any load balancer does a global maintenance every
worker.maintain seconds. During global maintenance load counters are
decayed and workers in error are checked for recover_time.

This feature has been added in jk 1.2.13.

Expect 1.2.18 and the new doc to become official very soon :)
