--------------------------------------
Summary: [CI] Set job timeouts on Github Actions
Key: ARROW-12442
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12442
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Task
Components: Continuous Integration
Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
The default timeout for a single job in Github Actions is 6 hours:
[https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idtimeout-minutes]
While our jobs normally do not exceed 1 hour of runtime (and most of them are
far quicker), sometimes some network issues may lead a job to take up the full
6 hours before timing out. Not only does this contribute to our own build queue
growing unnecessarily, but it also impedes other Apache projects, since the
number of jobs which can be run in parallel is capped at the organization level.
We should therefore configure job timeouts which reflect our expectation of the
overall runtime for each job. 1 hour should be a safe value for most of them,
and would already dramatically reduce the impact of network issues.
