Bryan Cutler commented on SPARK-6980:
-------------------------------------

I'm working out of trunk.

Changing the ActorWordCount example to perform an ask/reply sequence using 
AkkaUtils.askWithReply, I'm able to get a timeout (below), but it is also 
preceded by a warning that describes the failed message - so I'm not sure if 
this is the same use case described by [~imranr].

15/04/24 16:33:52 WARN AkkaUtils: Error sending message [message = requesting 
words] in 1 attempts
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Futures timed out after [1000 
milliseconds]
        at scala.concurrent.impl.Promise$DefaultPromise.ready(Promise.scala:219)
        at

        at 
org.apache.spark.examples.streaming.AskWithReplyActor$$anon$2.run(Spark-6980-Test.scala:107)
{noformat}

So my questions are:
# Is there another way to use akka in Spark streaming that could lead to a 
timeout that *doesn't* make use of AkkaUtils.askWithReply?
# If not, does it make sense to just elaborate in the exception thrown in 
AkkaUtils.askWithReply?

I'm attaching the modified ActorWordCount test..

> If you hit one of the akka timeouts, you just get an exception like
> {code}
> java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Futures timed out after [30 seconds]
> {code}
> The exception doesn't indicate how to change the timeout, though there is 
> usually (always?) a corresponding setting in {{SparkConf}} .  It would be 
> nice if the exception including the relevant setting.
> I think this should be pretty easy to do -- we just need to create something 
> like a {{NamedTimeout}}.  It would have its own {{await}} method, catches the 
> akka timeout and throws its own exception.
