Hi, devs, I am curious about why if a request is timeout, the tcp connection will be closed?[1] ? When close a tcp connection, all the pending request will be return TimeoutException. Isn’t a waste?
I notice that connection.max.idle.ms <http://connection.max.idle.ms/>[2] will close idle connections after the number of milliseconds specified. Why we just return TimeoutException for the target request, and not close the connection until connection.max.idle.ms <http://connection.max.idle.ms/>? I do want to know the design idea. Much appreciate if anyone can answer me?
