Increase timeout value for Ambari Views server

If you experience timeouts or long wait times, you can increase the timeout values to lower response times.

The views.request.read.timeout.millis property in /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties sets the timeout value for requests made by the Ambari Views server to non-ambari services, such as webHcat, or Hive. By default, views.request.read.timeout.millis is set to 10 seconds.

The views.ambari.request.read.timeout.millis property in /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties sets the timeout values for requests made by Ambari views to Ambari services. By default, views.ambari.request.read.timeout.millis is set to 5 seconds.

Usually no action is required. However, if you experience timeouts, or long wait times, you can increase the values for each of these properties to lower response times.

  1. On the Ambari server host, browse to /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties.
  2. Adjust the value of views.request.read.timeout.millis.
