When we introduced retries in #591, we expected to handle the MaxRetryError exception. Instead, what appears to happen is the MaxRetryError exception block isn't hit, and instead, we get a chain of Exceptions that results in the underlying Exception being raised, which is a ConnectionError.
As such, this commit changes the MaxRetryError block to a ConnectionError block, thus returning a more descriptive message to the end user. An early return is also added to avoid a UnboundLocalError when trying to use fetchedData after the Exception was handled.
This addresses #663.
