We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request already took longer than the provided timeout. The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342), and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951). Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways. This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages. |
