Increase FTS timeouts for slow(er) machines

Hello list,

I have a question which doesn’t seem to be answered by the documentation. I’m running Dovecot on a Raspberry PI-like computer. I’ve enabled full-text search (FTS) and installed Solr and Tika.

Now, Dovecot will timeout Tika after 60 seconds and some emails will not get indexed as there’s simply not enough processing power on the device to work so fast. 

I don’t mind the slowness, so the question here is — how do I increase this timeout?

Looking at the commits it seems that this option is hardcoded in the code and cannot be increased via configuration change?



Thanks,
B
