Description

The console comes with a default timeout of 3 minutes for remote requests to Gremlin Server. You can change that value with:

:remote config timeout 60000

or you can make it "basically" indefinite with:

:remote config timeout max

I think "max" is kinda weird now that I look at it. That basically sets a time out for Integer.MAX_VALUE when you really just want to wait indefinitely and have no timeout at all. I guess "max" is just a sort of a bad word. It seems like it would be good to deprecate "max" in favor of:

:remote config timeout none

which is more in line with what someone actually wants to have when they are doing "max".

Change the default timeout from 3 minutes to "none". It seems to be the more expected default. Can't think of a circumstance in the context of the console, where the client shouldn't just wait for the server's response.
