I'm not sure that's the root cause of the timeout, I've seen errors like that before, they typically are the root cause of an actual test failure. In this case it looks like we've been flirting with the three hour timeout for a while, e.g. this run from last week took 2h55m: https://ci-beam.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_Python37/5552/

I'd suggest we first double the timeout for these PostCommits. Then we can come back and try to root cause the increase in runtime.

[yeandy]

Yeah I've seen these before too, but it was never clear the culprits. That makes sense. Do you mean to double timeout for ExerciseMetricsPipelineTest tests, and not all Python postcommits?

[TheNeuralBit]

No I mean for all Python PostCommits (your link is correct), since that's the timeout we're hitting. Per @kennknowles - timeouts are for catching runaway jobs, not for punishing us when the jobs start taking too long. The timeout shouldn't be that close to the actual runtime of the job.

[Abacn]

As tests taking longer and longer, we may also want to split some IO tests from the generic postcommit as the ongoing work in java...

[TheNeuralBit]

Yeah I agree that we should do something to address the long-running PostCommits after this is resolved. We've had some discussions about splitting up the PostCommit like Java is doing.
