Github user laurentgo commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1024#discussion_r149477955 --- Diff: exec/jdbc/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/jdbc/impl/DrillCursor.java --- @@ -376,6 +415,19 @@ synchronized void cleanup() { currentBatchHolder.clear(); } + //Set the cursor's timeout in seconds --- End diff -- you just need to get the value when the query is executed (in DrillCursor) once to make sure the timeout doesn't change (that and StopWatch being managed by DrillCursor too. Also, it is subject to interpretation but it seems the intent of the API is to time bound how much time it takes the query to complete. I'm not sure it is necessary to make the extra work of having a slow client reading the result set data although all data has already been read by the driver from the server (and from the server point of view, the query is completed).
