IMQ_CONNECTION_QUIT_TIMEOUT variable

Grace period (ms) for a graceful QUIT to complete before a channel is forcibly disconnected. A reader blocked on an infinite BRPOP/BLMOVE can never let QUIT through, so without this the socket would leak and keep the process alive.

Signature:

IMQ_CONNECTION_QUIT_TIMEOUT: number

Remarks

Defaults to 1000; override with the IMQ_CONNECTION_QUIT_TIMEOUT environment variable, which is read once when the module is loaded. Applies to the writer, watcher and subscription channels — the reader is disconnected immediately without attempting QUIT.
