Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2346:
--------------------------------------

Write timeouts are only possible by using async i/o.  So would you have each 
thread to create its own selector and loop on it?  Is that wise?  Otherwise, 
implementing this would require converting the entire datanode to use async 
i/o, which is probably a good idea, but not a short-term one.

> DataNode should have timeout on socket writes.

> If a client opens a file and stops reading in the middle, DataNode thread 
> writing the data could be stuck forever. For DataNode sockets we set read 
> timeout but not write timeout. I think we should add a write(data, timeout) 
> method in IOUtils that assumes it the underlying FileChannel is non-blocking.
