Description Sten Turpin 2016-07-20 15:24:55 UTC

Description of problem: during the outage to the preview-prod cluster caused by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1351705 our monitoring checks, which call the oc command, got hung up for several days because oc didn't time out. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): oc v3.2.1.7


How reproducible: in cases when k8s is extremely slow, e.g. due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1351705


Steps to Reproduce:
1. in a cluster with k8s in bad state, run "oc get projects" 

Actual results:
In some cases, this command ran for 5 days before we noticed it and killed the process. 


Expected results:
oc should time out eventually if the API is not available

Comment 3 Xingxing Xia 2016-10-25 06:49:13 UTC

Verified with oc v3.4.0.14. Now user can use the global option --request-timeout with any oc command:
$ oc get projects --request-timeout=1h
NAME        DISPLAY NAME   STATUS
xxia-proj                  Active

Test the result when it timeouts:
$ oc get projects --request-timeout=1ms
Unable to connect to the server: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Fixed. Move to VERIFIED.
