[alexellis]

All timeout values need to be specified in Golang durations. Please feel free to use community support if you get stuck in the future :-)

No question too small to be asked there.

Out of curiosity what were you attempting to do?

Hi Alex,

Thanks! And yeah, I should've, hahaha. We're using openfaas-of in front of tensorflow serving, so that's also why I needed to extend the default timeout. It's not a super-long running process, but model inference takes some time.

The reason for using openfaas-of is that loading a model using the fork method takes a lot of time. For some other bits of our AI pipeline it makes a lot more sense to fork a process and do something small - it mainly prevents a lot of overhead in our code and keeps the code simple and easy to replace with something newer or better. Such as a tokenizer for example.

Does that make sense?

Kind regards,

Willem

Please can you run git commit -s --amend and repush?

The usecase sounds really interesting. Speak on slack?

I kind of did everything via the github website as it was a quicky - apologies.

Done.

Oh dear that didn't go very well. We can't accept the merge commit. Just use git reset and push it up again or let me know if you want me to do the git piece.

Thanks for your patience!
