[CI] Intermittent timeout in xpack ReadActionsTests

[williamrandolph]

I've noticed an occasional timeout in ReadActionTests. It doesn't reproduce for me locally, but it's popped up a few times recently:

10 March:

• Failure on 7.x: https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/kxifwgcjb2gv4
• Method: testWildcardExclusion
• Example reproduce line:

REPRODUCE WITH: ./gradlew ':x-pack:plugin:security:test' --tests "org.elasticsearch.xpack.security.authz.ReadActionsTests.testWildcardExclusion" \
  -Dtests.seed=254EEC6E8CC43E34 \
  -Dtests.security.manager=true \
  -Dtests.locale=mk-MK \
  -Dtests.timezone=America/Argentina/Cordoba \
  -Dcompiler.java=13

9 March:

• Failure on master: https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/sc56ehkzdc4de
• Method: testMultiSearchUnauthorizedIndex

8 March:

• Failure on master: https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/jc34yk26z5lg2
• Method: testExplicitAndWildcardInclusionAndExplicitExclusions

In each case the logs are extensive and somewhat different, but they all result in thread leaks and a suite timeout.

Two more failures here:

https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/4l3ynd36fhgro/tests/failed
https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/yjst47s2pqexg/tests/failed#:x-pack:plugin:security-test-org.elasticsearch.xpack.security.authz-readactionstests

Unable to reproduce using:

./gradlew ':x-pack:plugin:security:test' --tests "org.elasticsearch.xpack.security.authz.ReadActionsTests"   -Dtests.seed=7EA552089271B256   -Dtests.security.manager=true   -Dtests.locale=ar-DZ   -Dtests.timezone=Pacific/Pohnpei   -Dcompiler.java=13

but it did take 3 minutes on my local CI, and I wonder if this could turn into 20 minutes on jenkins under load?

These tests timeout regularly (see build stats) and again today on master.

Following test triage rules, I'm going to mute the tests on master, 7.x and 7.6 and assign this issue.

[tvernum]

I've enabled this test again with some better timeouts.
If it fails again, please mute aggressively and ping on this issue.

This test has been re-enabled for over a year, no new failures have been reported here, and I don't see any failures in Gradle Enterprise. I'm going to go ahead and close this.
