this is necessary as in some cases we want a low timeout (when we
expect a quick response, e.g. with backup), but in others we may want
a very long timeout (long running query).
Now we have more granular control over timeouts so we can get things
to fail more predictably in tests.
A few things were going wrong here.
First, we take a "RetryPeriod" option on backup and restore which is
meant to be roughly the total amount of time we spend retrying any
given request before failing. However we were incorrectly passing that
as the RetryMaxWait which is the maximum amount of time to sleep
between any two attempts. We now do some fuzzy math to figure out
approximately how many attempts we should make given a minimum sleep
of 100ms and the fact that we double the sleep time every attempt.
Second, during the backup test, if a host was totally stopped when we
started the request, it would fail immediately and then retry, but if
the host was stopped during the request (after DNS had resolved), then
the request would wait for the DialTimeout which we default to 30s, so
turning off the cluster for 5 seconds and turning it back on resulted
in the backup completing rather than failing. Because of this, we
change the commandClient to have a default dial timeout of 1 second.
I was tempted to change the global default to 1s which I think would
be fine, but didn't want to break anything too badly.
i used this script, a little clunky but it got the job done
```bash
for file in `find . -type f -print | grep '\.go'`; do
sed '1,/^\/\/ limitations under the License.$/d' $file > $file.tmp;
result=`cat $file.tmp`
if [[ result != "" ]]; then
gofmt $file.tmp &> /dev/null;
if [[ $? == 0 ]]; then
mv $file.tmp $file && gofmt -w $file;
else
rm $file.tmp;
fi
else
rm $file.tmp;
fi
done
```
trying to separate internal an external concerns in pilosa.Server - it should
handle Cluster, Holder, etc. while pilosa/server handles things with external
deps - e.g. Logger, Stats, Handler, etc. Using functional options in
pilosa.Server now.
