> KRPC should have a timer to close stuck connections

> Key: KUDU-2192
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2192
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rpc
> Reporter: Michael Ho
> Priority: Major
>
> If the remote host goes down or its network gets unplugged, all pending RPCs
> to that host will be stuck if there is no timeout specified. While those RPCs
> which have finished sending their payloads or those which haven't started
> sending payloads can be cancelled quickly, those in mid-transmission (i.e. an
> RPC at the front of the outbound queue with part of its payload sent already)
> cannot be cancelled until the payload has been completely sent. Therefore,
> it's beneficial to have a timeout to kill a connection if it's not making any
> progress for an extended period of time so the RPC will fail and get unstuck.
> The timeout may need to be conservatively large to avoid aggressive closing
> of connections due to transient network issue. One can consider augmenting
> the existing maintenance thread logic which checks for idle connection to
> check for this kind of timeout. Please feel free to propose other
> alternatives (e.g. TPC keepalive timeout) in this JIRA.
