Goal

To ensure that rapid paging or filtering actions do not leave stale data in the table.

Current Constraints

The ajax option initiates requests but offers no timeout or automatic abort flag. Manual table.ajax.abort() is required, yet it is not integrated with the internal lifecycle.

Unresolved Decision

Will future releases introduce an ajax.timeout option or auto‑abort behavior when a new request is queued?

Specific Questions

Does DataTables plan to expose an ajax.timeout option in upcoming releases?
Could the library be configured to automatically abort any pending request when a new ajax call is started?
What is the recommended pattern for developers to avoid race conditions without manual abort?
