> When a DistributedCacheMapClient attempts to connect to a DistributedCacheMapServer, but the handshake response is never received by the client, the PutDistributedCacheMap processor with hang indefinitely. The handshake never times out.
> A situation like this can be caused if a proxy allows for the TCP connection to be established between client and server but fails to deliver handshake data to/from DistributedCacheMapServer (for example an unstable Istio service mesh between the two). Could also happen if a client was accidentally misconfigured to point to wrong TCP server point (one that wasn't hosting a DistributedCacheMapServer.
> Steps to recreate:
> 1) Set up a PutDistributedCacheMap processor with a DistributedMapCacheClientService
> 2) Configure DistributedMapCacheClientService to point to a non DistributedCacheMapServer tcp server (nc -lk 127.0.0.1 4457). This simulates a situation where the socket connection can be made but there is no handshake response from the server (for example, server is in bad state and unable to respond, a proxy is misbehaving, etc).
> 3) use generateFlowFile to trigger PutDistributedCacheMap  processor.
> 4) processor will hang with no failure or success. Processor will have to be force terminated.

> Hang occurs at :
> CacheClientRequestHandler.java:92: handshakeHandler.waitHandshakeComplete();
>  
> Currently, the "connection timeout" parameter is only used to timeout the establishment of the TCP socket connection, not the full application layer connection.
> Suggestion:
> Handshake should have a timeout too to be robust to handle a network outage where the TCP connection is able to be created, but the handshake data can't be exchanged. The processor hanging prevents any way to handle this error in a dataflow.
