Incubator-superset: Allow changing the visualization timeout from within Superset's settings

[h5rdly]

Hi,

First of all - Awesome project, cheers.

The issue:
Though the timeout message suggests that one is to compact his data further, it may still come handy to be able to allow a visualization to take another minute.
A client using Superset shouldn't have to dig into js files, find the build script, install node, recompile etc. just to let his visualization run a bit longer.
I was wondering whether it would agreeable to add this timeout setting to a relevant Superset panel, instead of having one wander through Supersets' entrails and use compilers and build tools to modify it.

Thanks,
Eli

I don't think superset has clients, it has users. The ui timeout has been synced to the backed, i think this is a dup of #3030

It's a configuration element in superset_config.py now

Awesome, thank you!

For those stumgling on this post, the flags (with default values) are -
SUPERSET_WEBSERVER_TIMEOUT = 60
SQLLAB_TIMEOUT = 30

For async queries -
SQLLAB_ASYNC_TIME_LIMIT_SEC = 60 * 60 * 6

full list of flags -

Those are deprecated as the referred file mentions. You have to change:

_SQLLAB_TIMEOUT = config.get('SQLLAB_ASYNC_TIME_LIMIT_SEC', 600)_

In sql_lab.py if you want to increase the 60 secs timeout for the visualizations.
