Siyuan Zhuang created ARROW-2759: ------------------------------------ Summary: Timeout for `get_next_notification()` in Plasma Key: ARROW-2759 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2759 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: Plasma (C++), Python Reporter: Siyuan Zhuang
Currently, I am implementing an async interface for Ray. The implementation needs some kind of message polling methods like `get_next_notification`. Unfortunately, I find `get_next_notification` in `https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/pyarrow/_plasma.pyx` blocking, which is an impediment to implementing async utilities. So I suggest adding some parameters like `timeout`. It could be done by operating its underlying socket. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
