How to set read timeout per query using Java REST

Question

I am using Neo4j 1.9.1 and Kernel 1.8, I want to specify read time out for few queries ...

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if that is directly possible. You need to enable guards by config in your server and set a http header max-execution-time as described in Mark's blog post at http://www.markhneedham.com/blog/2013/10/17/neo4j-setting-query-timeout/.

Java Rest bindings need to be tweaked, see https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/java-rest-binding/blob/master/src/main/java/org/neo4j/rest/graphdb/ExecutingRestRequest.java#L102 for how to explicitly set an http header. The same thing can be done for max-execution-time.
