Hello, I was running an application that is being deployed with kubernetes. I have also deployed a citus database with 5 workers. I was curious about the configuration aspects of citus. node_connection_timeout and what that might look like as far as configuration of postgresql.conf.

https://github.com/citusdata/citus/blob/45957e568896cf2f963b13e4fc82e2914efc85cf/src/backend/distributed/shared_library_init.c#L276-L284

Is it as simple as:

echo 'node_connection_timeout = 60' >> /etc/postgresql-common/createcluster.conf

Or should I be editing the config as part of the docker deployment?

Thank you.
