Connector Improvement: Connector SDK development - add timeout to running in debug mode

Answered
Frank Hong User

When running "fivetran debug --configuration configuration.json",  sometimes it takes a long time to connect to data source and returning result. (In my case, I connect to MSSQL using pyodbc and select * from <a very large table>.) It would be nice to timeout during the debug session rather than waiting for a long time... then Ctrl+C to forciably exit.

    Hi Frank,

    This is a great idea. I'd be interested in understanding more about how you would want the feature to work. If we put a fixed timeout then what would we pick? 5min 1hr? Would you want to be able to control it per debug run or for the project? What approach would you expect to be available for controlling the timeout. We are aware Connector SDK can be used for a wide variety of use cases, we would want a system that is easy to use and works for all cases. The request has been added to our backlog for feature improvements.

    To better understand your needs, could you share more about the scenarios where Crtl + C introduces problems in your workflow?

    We'll keep the community updated on this thread with any progress.

    Thanks,
    Alison
