As of now, it is not configurable. If you are not averse to making a code change for your evaluation, you can change the value of AFR_POLL_TIMEOUT in xlators/cluster/afr/src/afr-self-heald.c to something other than 600. We will evaluate exposing the interval to be configurable through the volume set interface. Thanks, Vijay
