Use of upstream keepalive_time

[Vishwas Bm]

Hi,

I see that from 1.19.10 keepalive_time has been added.
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#keepalive_time

Also keepalive_timeout is present for idle connection
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#keepalive_timeout

On checking the behaviour between these two, I see that keepalive_time is
having higher precedence over keepalive_timeout.
Even if connection is not idle based on keepqlive_timeout, connection is
still  getting closed because of keepalive_time.

Is this expected behaviour?
Also can I set keepalive_time to higher value say 24hours ? Any drawbacks
with this ?
Can this keepalive_time be disabled and priority given only to
keepalive_timeout ?


Regards,
Vishwas
