[jira] [Updated] (ACCUMULO-1268) add client wide timeout setting

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1268?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Keith Turner updated ACCUMULO-1268:
-----------------------------------

      Description: 
Currently if Accumulo is down, getConnector will sit indefinitely. This is designed to be tolerant in several processes which wait for Accumulo to come up into a stable state.

However, for writing client applications, it's horrendous. It provides no ability for the developer to provide feedback to the client. There should be some method to allow ServerClient.executeRaw() to eventually kick out of the infinite loop it currently has. If the developer wants the code to continue infinitely, they can either disregard the flag or wrap the getConnector() code in a loop themselves.

More generally it would be nice if the user could configure a timeout that would be honored by all client API calls.

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.5.0)
                   1.6.0
         Assignee:     (was: Billie Rinaldi)
          Summary: add client wide timeout setting  (was: getConnector should (have a flag to?) eventually timeout)

talked w/ [~jvines@gmail.com] on irc about this ticket... we decided to make it more general and set it for 1.6.  The ticket was focused around setting a timeout for getConnector().  I modified the description and summary to broaden its scope.
