Ability to specify timeout on kicking off orchestration

[kvattikuti]

We suddenly started getting timeouts when kicking off Orchestration with StartNewAsync but these timeouts happen after several seconds. I am hoping to fail fast....is there a configuration to control this timeout value?

Packages we are using now:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions" Version="4.2.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.DurableTask.Netherite.AzureFunctions" Version="1.4.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.DurableTask" Version="2.13.0" />

Message: Error, ExceptionMessage: "Client request timed out.", FullException: "System.TimeoutException: Client request timed out.

Based on what I see in the code (

durabletask-netherite/src/DurableTask.Netherite/OrchestrationService/Client.cs

Line 444 in 4f17e74

public async Task CreateTaskOrchestrationAsync(uint partitionId, TaskMessage creationMessage, OrchestrationStatus[] dedupeStatuses)

) the default timeout is 5 minutes, and there does not seem to be any way to change that via configuration.

That's a good find. Thanx @sebastianburckhardt .

Is there a plan to fix this either by making a timeout configurable or taking a cancellation token from the caller?

Thank you.
