Adjusting timeout for index management
When running search index management commands on large datasets using cqlsh or dsetool, the process might take longer than the default timeout period (10 minutes).
Two methods exist for overriding the default value.
-
Temporarily increase the timeout period for index management commands by setting an environment variable for
cqlsh. Before starting acqlshsession, set the CQLSH_SEARCH_MANAGEMENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS environment variable:
export CQLSH_SEARCH_MANAGEMENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=900;Setting the environment variable will override the cqlsh --request-timeout setting.
-
Before running an index management command, set the
dse.search.client.timeout.secsusingdsetool:
export JVM_OPTS="-Ddse.search.client.timeout.secs=900"Setting the JVM option will override the default timeout.
