Yes. The guarantee is that the operation will fail or success within the "operation timeout". No remaining time to retry and failed the operation is acceptable. > are you suggesting to wait for operation timeout period while trying to get lock Yes. Use the operation timeout period when wait for lock, instead of the scanner timeout now. > I think we are going back and forth on which timeout to use. I thought my point is clearly since we start this discussion. I suggested that use operation timeout instead of scanner timeout. Then you give me a 15 seconds SLA example. Then I checked the code: use operation timeout can meet your SLA requirements, too. So why not use operation timeout? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
