------------------------------------

             Summary: Set a connection timeout that is lower than the request timeout for remote functions
                 Key: FLINK-18790
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18790
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Stateful Functions
            Reporter: Igal Shilman
             Fix For: statefun-2.2.0


Currently for remote functions, the connection timeout is identical to the whole request timeout. A problem with this happens when a remote function is behind a NAT/load balancer/or in general behind anything that holds the port open, even tho the remote function is not present or was relocated. In that case the entire request budget would be spent on waiting for a connection.

This in particularly the case in Kubernetes where pods behind a service, were ungracefully killed at once.

To fix that issue, I propose:

1) by default use 10% of the total request timeout for the connection timeout.

2) expose a configuration parameter explicitly.
