This option existed so that the user can tweak it if they found the default idle
timeout too short, for instance if they leave their machine on over the weekend.
This use case is now covered by the new YcmdKeepalive system that pings ycmd
every 10 minutes as long as Vim is running. This prevents ycmd shutting down if
one leaves their Vim instance alone for a long time.
Thus the old option is useless now; ycmd now shuts down after 3 hours of
inactivity, which should only ever happen when its corresponding Vim instance
has shut down abnormally.
By default, a ThreadPoolExecutor will wait at Python interpreter shutdown for
all the threads to stop by themselves before letting the interpreter shut down.
We don't want that for the network requests thread pool, it causes a shutdown
latency if there are outstanding requests. Killing the threads in our pool is
perfectly safe so we can avoid the latency by introducing an
UnsafeThreadPoolExecutor.
It appears that the issue comes from sending a None timeout to Requests. It
seems it's a bug in Requests/urllib3. So we just pick an arbitrary long timeout
of 30s as the default.
Vim still loves to block the main GUI thread on occasion when asking for
completions... to counteract this stupidity, we enforce a hard budget of 0.5s
for all completion requests. If the server doesn't respond by then (it should,
unless something really bad happened), we give up.
The problem was that when you start vim like "vim foo.cc", the FileReadyToParse
event is sent to the server before it's actually started up. Basically, a race
condition.
We _really_ don't want to miss that event. For C++ files, it tells the server to
start compiling the file.
So now PostDataToHandlerAsync in BaseRequest will retry the request 3 times
(with exponential backoff) before failing, thus giving the server time to boot.
