Parth Chandra commented on DRILL-5218: -------------------------------------- Doesn't sound like a good idea. A heartbeat is the only reliable way of knowing that the connection to a drillbit is still alive (and not just taking a very long time to return the results of a query execution). The client app might be a server application maintaining a connection pool in which case knowing the health of the connection is an important requirement. > Support Disabling Heartbeats in C++ Client > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: DRILL-5218 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5218 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Client - C++ > Reporter: Sudheesh Katkam > Assignee: Sudheesh Katkam > > Heartbeats between bits allow for detecting health of remotes, but heartbeats > between client and bit may not be necessary? So allow to (at least) disable > heartbeats between C++ client and bit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
