Fuseki should allow timeouts to be specified on a per-request basis
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JENA-218
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-218
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Fuseki
Affects Versions: Fuseki 0.2.1
Reporter: Alexander Dutton
A query endpoint might want to have different timeouts depending on whether
queries are from untrusted or trusted users, or maintenance processes. The
timeout could be passed with an X- header, a Timeout header as per
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-loreto-http-timeout-00, or a query parameter,
respecting the system default if none is provided. The query parameter might be
less favourable as it'd be harder to filter out for Fuseki instances behind
Apache.
There is a risk that changing the behaviour to allow timeouts to be overridden
will lead to DoSs of query endpoints open to the world to some extent. This can
be mitigated by defaulting to disallowing timeout overrides.
I'm happy to put a patchdocu together and document it at
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/serving_data/.
