Test or descriptor level timeout configuration option #258

Open pranavparikh opened 10 years ago

pranavparikh commented 10 years ago

Currently Arrow supports the --testTimeOut parameter, but this is global across all descriptors. We have a few tests which take longer to run, but we don't want to increase the global time out, as this would cause full failures to take much longer to fail.

Ideally, we could have a JSON configuration option for the default controller that could change this value to suit the specific case. Alternatively, setting it in the descriptor config would get us most of the way, if that's more convenient.
