It would be nice to reduce this timeout to protect us from problematic queries bringing the server down. Or make this configurable as some machines are more powerful and don't need a tight timeout.
769 has an implementation of this. My tests show that this does have an effect on long-running nonsense queries but they still tend to run for a few seconds, even when the timeout is set to 1 s.
We might need a some extra protection against nonsense queries that might become a problem for ES.
