+          to specify the amount of time that short circuit reads are disabled on
+          encountering an error. The default value is 10 minutes
+            (<codeph>600</codeph> seconds). It is recommended that you set

+          small value, such as <codeph>1</codeph> second, when using the file

+            <codeph>0</codeph> is not recommended as a non-zero interval
