Any appender which accesses a remote service needs to deal with the
unavailability of the said service. The fact that Twitter4J did not
honor the setHttpConnectionTimeout() method is a useful fact to
know. On the other hand, I don't think there is much TwitterAppender
can do in order to compensate for Twitter4J's present
shortcomings. Filing a bug report against Twitter4J or contacting
Twitter4J developpers (as Rob has done) is the reasonable thing to
do.
Anyway, thank you for keeping us posted.

Hi all.
Twitter is more or less down for hours now. This sucks but also shows a
problem we need to be aware of while implementing the appender:

I’m brand new to the group, so forgive me if this topic has been
covered (I did a quick search and found nothing).
With Twitter being down this morning, requests to Twitter through
Twitter4J seem to hang indefinitely. Even with the use of
setHttpConnectionTimeout(), requests took longer than the value I set
(which was 5000, or 5 seconds – requests still took up to 30 seconds)
Can someone verify that the timeout enforcement works and that this is
the correct setting to prevent such hangs while Twitter is unavailable?

In addition, I've found another problem myself for which I filed a bug
report: http://yusuke.homeip.net/jira/browse/TFJ-193
Currently, Twitter4J isn't sending status updates in UTF-8 - which it
should. I've also described a workaround in the JIRA ticket.
Just FYI.
