Other than the fact that there is no reason why someone would want such precision, there is no reason fur using seconds instead of ms.

That being said, we can't really switch it over now as people are using this setting and we can't change the behavior. Documenting it would be good

> The alternative is to change hdfs.idleTimeout to be in milliseconds, which is more consistent with the other timeouts, but I figure there was some reason for it to be how it is.
