Golang fdb.MustOpenDefault() does not fail when fdb.cluster content points to invalid host

Good to know that the default timeout is infinite. I will make the suggestion that you may want to change that to some smaller value for the default settings. Almost no one would want to wait infinitely for a transaction to complete in the real world. Or perhaps just updating the examples to set a timeout as not everyone will read the full godoc before trying some simple use cases to see if FoundationDB is within the right ballpark for their requirements.

I meant to reply to this, but it seems it fell off my radar. There’s been other discussion about timeouts on this thread, so if you’re interested you could look through the various thoughts expressed there and weigh in if there’s anything you want to add. I do think that illustrating the usage of timeouts better is a good idea, so I raised an issue for it: Consider setting timeouts in example code · Issue #882 · apple/foundationdb · GitHub.
