Apache's org.apache.http.client.config.RequestConfig has both a connectTimeout and a connectionRequestTimeout.

The documentation states that:

connectTimeout - is the timeout until a connection with the server is established
connectionRequestTimeout - is used when requesting a connection from the connection manager

I understand what connectTimeout is and why someone would use it, but I do not understand why someone would set a connectionRequestTimeout. What is an example use case of that?

connectionRequestTimeout would happen when you have a connection pool and they are all busy. Depending the application, you are interested in timeout, for example, if you are asking for real time data.
