Research direction

Start by tracing the client metadata() request path and the code that rebuilds cluster metadata after tablet-server failures. Check how request timeouts and retries are currently handled, then verify that timeout options are configurable, failed requests retry, and cluster metadata is rebuilt without the source input throughput dropping to zero.
