Timeout sending data Open edX data to Richie

[igobranco]

Open edX celery task that synchronizes course information from LMS/Studio to Richie is timing out.

From Sentry it is timing out after 5 seconds. It should be more than enough to Richie update itself.

Changes that need to be made:

1. This celery task shouldn't raise any error;
2. Replace the log error with a log warning;
3. Increase the timeout (from 5 to 20 seconds) and make it configurable;

Screen shot from Sentry with the error:

The timeout is already configurable, like:

RICHIE_OPENEDX_SYNC_COURSE_HOOKS:
  - url: https://some.richie.education/api/v1.0/course-runs-sync/
    secret: my-secret
    timeout: 20
