set impyla.dbapi.connect method's "timeout" parameter seems to be not affect

[xunux]

problem: i have set timeout param in the connect method, but it's seems to be not affect

my code

from impala.dbapi import connect
with connect(host='host', port=port, database='database', auth_mechanism='PLAIN', user='root', timeout=300) as conn:
    with conn.cursor() as cur:
        mlog.info("execute hive sql: %s",hive_sql)
        s_time = time.time()
        cur.execute(hive_sql)
        e_time = time.time()
        mlog.info("execute hive sql: %s finished, use time: %s sec", hive_sql, e_time-s_time)

some times the sql's execution time over 300 seconds。

execute hive sql: select server_id, count(*) from xxx where log_date='xxx' group by server_id finished, use time: 1070.25791502 sec

what's the meaning of timeout parameter?

I think the timeout is only for getting a connection. From the code there is no way to set a timeout on a query. You would have to poll for the status and timeout yourself in your own code.
