Description

I have looked more into BIGTOP-950 and BIGTOP-835.
It seems that the timeout functionality is completely unused in the current Bigtop. So, being badly implemented in the first place, an attempt to fix it - BIGTOP-950 - actually just restored the original behavior that has existed since 2011.

Considering all this, I would remove the following SHAs

bc49df0bf3ed71dbe7a8ded7857b6087d4df8fd0
b5f900efc17c616dc34704cd520285adcd814e9e

because fixing non-used code doesn't make any sense.
