Timing out on connection

[st...@gmail.com]

When connecting to Accumulo in Java, I'll often get:

*There are no tablet servers: check that zookeeper and accumulo are running.
*
*
*
The status is understood - usually my server is down. The problem is that
my code will wait forever, without eventually tossing an exception.

Is there anyway to set a timeout parameter or force the method to
conditionally connect?

Thanks
Bill

In 1.5 timeouts were added to the BatchWriter and BatchScanner
(ACCUMULO-705 and ACCUMULO-706).  The Scanner has had a timeout for a
while.  However this may not be sufficient, your code may be getting hung
up before trying to read or write.  There is a ticket for client wide
timeout settings ACCUMULO-1286.

thanks keith. I see a lot of nice features in 1.5, but unfortunately we're
stuck on 1.4.x for the time being. Appreciate your help.
