You can also set socket options by overriding
ConnectionFactory.configureSocket(). By default this hook disables
Nagle's algorithm, but it can be used to set the timeout as well
(socket.setSoTimeout()). Even when using Spring AMQP you should be able
to specify your own ConnectionFactory that inherits from the existing one.
