When logstash starts it logs this for each KV I have configured this logs: `Jun 15 01:49:10 hostname logstash[3879863]: [2021-06-15T01:49:10,651][WARN][logstash.filters.kv] KV Filter registered without jruby interruptible regular expressions enabled (`-Djruby.regexp.interruptible=true`); timeouts may not be respected.` In the KV's I have configured I have not set a timeout, so I believe they should timeout after 30 seconds. In my pipelines I also have written quite a bit of custom ruby. Is there any downside to setting this value? (why isn't this the default value?) ---

The default value for the [timeout option](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-kv.html#plugins-filters-kv-timeout_millis) is 30 seconds, but the [code](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-kv/blob/4cfa272c5cf1d6159e264367f4cbe1dd4539420f/lib/logstash/filters/kv.rb#L335) is telling you that timeouts will not happen. [This](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/10976) issue has lots of discussion from folks who have forgotten more about logstash than I will ever know. If you only have the time to follow one link from that I would choose 10978. (But you should follow more!) ---
