---------------------------------------

Linking IMPALA-3380 - which has some details why we don't add timeouts for TransmitData RPCs.

> The slow RPC logs added in IMPALA-9128 are based on the total time taken to successfully complete a RPC. The issue is that there are many reasons why an RPC might take a long time to complete. An RPC is considered complete only when the receiver has processed that RPC. 
> The problem is that due to client-driven back-pressure mechanism, it is entirely possible that the receiver RPC does not process a receiver RPC because {{KrpcDataStreamRecvr::SenderQueue::GetBatch}} just hasn't been called yet (indirectly called by {{ExchangeNode::GetNext}}).
> This can lead to flood of slow RPC logs, even though the RPCs might not actually be slow themselves. What is worse is that the because of the back-pressure mechanism, slowness from the client (e.g. Hue users) will propagate across all nodes involved in the query.
