Read timeout on InfluxDB-cxx

[pkoosha]

I have a multi-threaded program that is writing 100k write with 10K batches and at the same time reading values from the same table. I see this error and I have tried a few options however not been successful.

I tried and increased the write-timeout for coordinator in the influxdb.conf

[coordinator]                                                                                
 The default time a write request will wait until a "timeout" error is returned to the caller.
   write-timeout = "600s"                                                                        
   #max-concurrent-queries = 0                                                               
   #query-timeout** = "0s"       

[http]
#Added these timeouts
read-timeout = "600s"                                                                  
write-timeout = "600s"  

[subscriber]                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
   http-timeout = "1800s"

then I restarted the influxDB. I don't see how to increase the read-timeout and see this is happening. could you please help me on how to increase the timeout from default 10s to something larger? I see that after 10 seconds the timeout is happening.

The Http timeout is hardcoded to 10 sec here. For a quick test you can change these two lines.

[pkoosha]

It worked for me. I suggest to add support of changing this. the write and read timeouts vary in the applications.

@pkoosha could you have a look at #220? It introduces a new transport configuration which provides support for this option.
