------------------------------

Update, i have tests to prove that it works. Still working on fixing few errors.

> Currently we have more than one timeout settings, mainly includes:
> * hbase.rpc.timeout
> * hbase.client.operation.timeout
> * hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period
> And in latest branch-1 or master branch code, we will have two other properties:
> * hbase.rpc.read.timeout
> * hbase.rpc.write.timeout
> However, in current refguid we don't have explicit instruction on the difference of these timeout settings (there're explanations for each property, but no instruction on when to use which)
> In my understanding, for RPC layer timeout, or say each rpc call:
> * Scan (openScanner/next): controlled by hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period
> * Other operations:
>    1. For released versions: controlled by hbase.rpc.timeout
>    2. For 1.4+ versions: read operation controlled by hbase.rpc.read.timeout, write operation controlled by hbase.rpc.write.timeout, or hbase.rpc.timeout if the previous two are not set.
> And hbase.client.operation.timeout is a higher-level control counting retry in, or say the overall control for one user call.
> After this JIRA, I hope when users ask questions like "What settings I should use if I don't want to wait for more than 1 second for a single put/get/scan.next call", we could give a neat answer.
