In the example creating the client, there is no reference to necessary timeouts clients need to set in order for them to work on ccloud.

@l0n3r4n83r the default timeouts are good for most scenarios. Are there any particular settings that you have needed to adjust and why? cc: @confluentinc/clients

I understand the socket timeout set in the ruby-kafka lib is 10 sec but we have been advised by confluent support to increase that timeout to up to 30 seconds.

In one case we are told to use a timeout quote

For Confluent Cloud we set connections.max.idle.ms = 600000

And if we look at the docs for configuring java clients we see 

request.timeout.ms=20000
retry.backoff.ms=500
