Describe the bug

Is there a plan to support the socket_timeout option? Our service has encountered a connection stuck issue. It's nice if this socket_timeout options is enabled and will solve our problem.

Hi @fishincat, RUST-564 tracks adding support for this option. It is not currently planned, but I will discuss prioritizing this with the team. Feel free to follow that ticket for more updates.

We've investigated supporting that option and come to the conclusion that for technical reasons (see #1253 for details) it would require much more engineer time than expected; rather than that, we're going to be moving forward with implementing Client-Side Operation Timeout (see RUST-582) in the coming quarters which will cover this as well as a number of other use cases.
