MariaDB 10.3.0 introduced extended syntax so that it is possible to set innodb_lock_wait_timeout and lock_wait_timeout for the following statements:
ALTER TABLE tbl_name [WAIT n|NOWAIT] ... CREATE ... INDEX ON tbl_name (index_col_name, ...) [WAIT n|NOWAIT] ... DROP INDEX ... [WAIT n|NOWAIT] DROP TABLE tbl_name [WAIT n|NOWAIT] ... LOCK TABLE ... [WAIT n|NOWAIT] OPTIMIZE TABLE tbl_name [WAIT n|NOWAIT] RENAME TABLE tbl_name [WAIT n|NOWAIT] ... SELECT ... FOR UPDATE [WAIT n|NOWAIT] SELECT ... LOCK IN SHARE MODE [WAIT n|NOWAIT] TRUNCATE TABLE tbl_name [WAIT n|NOWAIT]
The lock wait timeout can be explicitly set in the statement by using either WAIT n (to set the wait in seconds) or NOWAIT, in which case the statement will immediately fail if the lock cannot be obtained. WAIT 0 is equivalent to NOWAIT.
