Pubsub - Set timeout on ack method #1979
Description
Activity
Thanks for reporting. As you've noticed, this currently isn't possible. To support, we would just need to allow an
options.timeoutproperty to theackmethod, which we would pass through to gax. PR welcome if you're up for it!Reacted by AndréFixed in #2042.

Environment details
For some reason, this past week, I started to see that some of my messages were not being acked/delivered, and I have to wait for the ack deadline, as in this image:
I tried updating pubsub but wasn't successful.
I'd like to be able to set a timeout on
ackrequest, so after some time it'd give me an error and I'd be able to retry the ack.I found this on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41901108/acked-messages-are-lingering-at-the-google-pubsub it's very similar to what happens to me, but I don't know how I'd change the grpc behavior like this....
