getMetadata timeout per model?

[markaddleman]

Is it currently possible to set a timeout on the getMetadata method per model?  If not, I was thinking of a delegating translator that intercepts the getMetadata call, delegates it on a separate thread using an ExecutorService and then using Future.get(timeout) and Future.cancel(true) to enforce a timeout.  I'm a little concerned about threading issues.  Is this approach safe?

In Teiid 8.x the metadata load is already happening in a separate thread, but there is no timeout on it currently. That could be an enhancement.
