Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1268:
----------------------------------------

The user probably needs the ability to configure a timeout setting that will apply to all client operations.

> 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.
