Task timeout

[robrich]

Some have expressed concern that if a task doesn't correctly call the callback, Orchestrator hangs indefinitely waiting for it. Should we create a task timeout parameter, default to 1 minute, and if the task doesn't complete in time, automatically fail it?

Yeah I think this is reasonable but you should be able to turn it off globally (not Infinity timeout per task)

Good call on the global timeout.

What's a good timeout period? 1 minute? 10 seconds?

[yocontra]

20 seconds seems reasonable

This is done, published in 0.3 I believe.
