Automatic merge from submit-queue Add global timeout flag **Release note**: ```release-note Add a new global option "--request-timeout" to the `kubectl` client ``` UPSTREAM: https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/pull/10 This patch adds a global timeout flag (viewable with `kubectl -h`) with a default value of `0s` (meaning no timeout). The timeout value is added to the default http client, so that zero values and default behavior are enforced by the client. Adding a global timeout ensures that user-made scripts won't hang for an indefinite amount of time while performing remote calls (right now, remote calls are re-tried up to 10 times when each attempt fails, however, there is no option to set a timeout in order to prevent any of these 10 attempts from hanging indefinitely). **Example** ``` $ kubectl get pods # no timeout flag set - default to 0s (which means no timeout) NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE docker-registry-1-h7etw 1/1 Running 1 2h router-1-uv0f9 1/1 Running 1 2h $ kubectl get pods --request-timeout=0 # zero means no timeout no timeout flag set NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE docker-registry-1-h7etw 1/1 Running 1 2h router-1-uv0f9 1/1 Running 1 2h $kubectl get pods --request-timeout=1ms Unable to connect to the server: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers) ``` |
