I see your point about these being "internal". Still, they don't seem too different to me from e.g. `jclouds.ssh.max-retries` and `jclouds.ssh.retry-auth` in [NovaApiMetadata](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/blob/master/apis/openstack-nova/src/main/java/org/jclouds/openstack/nova/v2_0/NovaApiMetadata.java#L78). One other benefit is that it would allow for easier testing of the timeout (assuming we want to do that) by e.g. setting it to 15s, doing four requests, then waiting 20s, then trying another 4. With a 15s timeout, that should **not** fail. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/104#issuecomment-22360163
