When the Client Type and the Server Type are different it hangs indefinitely #53

I was running an active_remote search in a rake task and forgot to set PB_CLIENT_TYPE=Zmq and it would hang indefinitely.

This isn't really an issue that needs solving... we support three different socket types (evented, raw socket, zmq). If you are running a server with one type you should be aware that you should run the client under the same type.

Ya, its up to you. It would be nice if it timed out or something. Adam thought I should put an issue up for this, and I agree it would be nice to have some sort of heads up that there is a mismatch going on.

Even if we leave it to the user to determine what the issue is, it's odd that the request never timed out. That's the main reason I suggested opening the issue.

I mean yes, we could add a log line or do a timeout or whatever... I just don't see this as an issue. If you are waiting for a request for 10 minutes, clearly something is wrong.
