@simonmichal Hi! well, i could not properly asses the difference between: `Default value for the time after which an error is declared if it was impossible to get a response to a request.` and `Default value for the time after which a connection error is declared (and a recovery attempted) if there are unfulfilled requests and there is no socket activity or a registered wait timeout` hence i choose the REQUESTTIMEOUT instead of STREAMTIMEOUT My intent was: if the redirector(and server) cannot answer and allocate/initiate the request, then fail (there is no point to wait for an overloaded/unresponsive server), to be able to move to next replica. So, what would be the best setting for my intent above? also, i would argue against non-recoverability: given that i (can) have multiple replica in a metafile, why should be unrecoverable? just fail on the particular request, move to next replica if any, then respect the -retry parameter if any ..
