Timeout

• we set a timeout value to continuously check nodes to see if they are up and running.
• there are tradeoffs for short and long time outs.
  • if we have a short time out, we detect failures faster, but some nodes might be declared dead when instead they are just a bit slow, leading to false positives.
    • 
  • if we have a long time out, we will identify crashed nodes slower, but will be more lenient with slow nodes.
