PubSub & Rpc timeout

[tcroiset]

Hi,

Part our of pubsub rpc calls (i.e. publish()) timeout:
GaxError: GaxError(RPC failed, caused by <_Rendezvous of RPC that terminated with (StatusCode.DEADLINE_EXCEEDED, The service was unable to fulfill your request. Please try again. [code=8a75])>)

It looks like the timeout occurs after about 60s.
For some reason, such timeouts were frequent in the last few days.

Is there any existing or upcoming way to reduce the timeout limit and to fail sooner?

We don't expose any way to set a timeout for Topic.publish calls.

For GAPIC/gRPC requests, the google.gax.CallOptions class does expose a timeout field: we could likely work out how to inject a user-supplied timeout value into the instance which we pass through to the GAPIC API object.

would be great

In the interest of sane management overhead, closing this in favor of #2993.
