This adds a customizable
FlusherTimeout
option for the flusher loop to be able to yield after a certain time in case a write to the underlying writer takes too long due to an unhealthy connection.This prevents the client blocking for an indefinite amount of time until reaching an OS level
i/o timeout
since thebufio.Flush
is happening while the lock is being hold, thus giving room for the ping interval to be able toprocessOpErr
and disconnect once it reaches the max amount of missing ping replies from the server (with an unhealthy connection the reading loop would be stuck onconn.Read
too because there is no deadline either, so it would take as a long as the ping interval check closes the connection ori/o timeout
).
