This PR introduces two key improvements to the robustness and resource management of vector search:
Proper Abort on CQL Timeout: Previously, when a CQL query involving a vector search timed out
, the underlying ANN query to the vector store was not aborted and would continue to run. This has been fixed by ensuring the abort source is correctly signaled, terminating the ANN request when its parent CQL query expires and preventing unnecessary resource consumption.
Faster Failure Detection: The connection and keep-alive timeouts for vector store nodes were excessively long (2 and 11 minutes, respectively), causing significant delays in detecting and recovering from unreachable nodes. These timeouts are now aligned with the request_timeout_in_ms setting, allowing for much faster failure detection and improving high availability by failing over from unresponsive nodes more quickly.
Fixes: SCYLLADB-76
This issue affects the 2025.4 branch, where similar HA recovery delays have been observed.
