Hi Alex,

Perhaps we could have an option so that we can control when the state transfer times out. Since wsrep_sst_donor now accepts multiple hostnames, so timing out the state transfer request on one node, would allow PXC to proceed with the SST using the second node. Or does it already do it that way?

I have a customer who experienced the long waits when the node specified for the wsrep_sst_donor option is in desynced state. The node that is specified as the donor is also used to do backups and the node is put in a desynced state when running the backup. Now if a SST is needed at the same time that the backup is running, the joiner simply waits.
