"timeout is the maximum time to execute an operation. It has Buffer type because timestamp in Hive has capacity 64. So for such value, you should use node-int64 npm module."

Right now the documentation just says that the timeout represents "time", but doesn't have any indication of the unit.

Is it the amount of time in milliseconds?
Seconds?
Minutes?

Seems like a pretty easy update to documentation to add in the unit (and potentially an example of setting the timeout).
