Our app uses the Capabilities API to check whether the Memcache service is 
available or not, and fall back gracefully if Memcache is unavailable. 
However, since the past several days, we are experiencing intermittent 
ApiDeadlineExceededException with the following stack trace:

com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$ApiDeadlineExceededException: The API call 
capability_service.IsEnabled() took too long to respond and was cancelled.
        at com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy.makeSyncCall(ApiProxy.java:101)
        at com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy.makeSyncCall(ApiProxy.java:50)
        at 
com.google.appengine.api.capabilities.CapabilitiesServiceImpl.getStatus(CapabilitiesServiceImpl.java:29)


Checking our logs, it appears that the Capabilities API had waited for five 
seconds before timed out and threw the exception. We would rather have the 
app to be immediately falling back gracefully when the Capabilities API is 
not available instead of waiting for full five seconds, especially since 
the service in question is Memcache. Is there any time-inexpensive way to 
check whether the Capabilities API is available or not?

Also, I tried to open a production issue in the googleappengine issue 
tracker, but the production issue template and tag seems to be gone.
