@timeout
The @timeout decorator specifies for how long a step should execute before it is interrupted.
You can use it to handle tasks that may get stuck, or to set a time-budget for a step. For more information, see Dealing with Failures.
from metaflow import timeout
Specifies a timeout for your step.
This decorator is useful if this step may hang indefinitely.
This can be used in conjunction with the @retry decorator as well as the @catch decorator.
A timeout is considered to be an exception thrown by the step. It will cause the step to be
retried if needed and the exception will be caught by the @catch decorator, if present.
Note that all the values specified in parameters are added together so if you specify 60 seconds and 1 hour, the decorator will have an effective timeout of 1 hour and 1 minute.
seconds: int, default 0
Number of seconds to wait prior to timing out.
minutes: int, default 0
Number of minutes to wait prior to timing out.
hours: int, default 0
Number of hours to wait prior to timing out.
