harakiri
A feature of uWSGI that aborts workers that are serving requests for an
excessively long time. Configured using the ``harakiri`` family of
options. Every request that will take longer than the seconds specified
in the harakiri timeout will be dropped and the corresponding worker
recycled.
master
uWSGI's built-in prefork+threading multi-worker management mode,
activated by flicking the ``master`` switch on. For all practical serving
deployments it is generally a good idea to use master mode.
