Does RPC have a timeout mechanism?

Question

If RPC does not have a timeout mechanism, how do I \"kill\" an RPC call if it is trying to call an RPC method of a server that is closed?

Answer 1

It seems the only solution for net/rpc is to close the underlying connection when you notice stuck requests. Then the client should finish pending requests with "connection broken" errors.

An alternative way is to use https://github.com/valyala/gorpc , which supports timeout RPC calls out of the box.
