Sounds too configurable. I don't understand the use case for
softQueryMargin at all right now. Since hardQueryTimeout +
hardQueryMargin should be > softQueryTimeout + softQueryMargin for a
reasonable configuration, we don't need all these parameters. Don't you
just want:
1) defaultQueryTimeout: 0=disabled, >0 timeout in ms
2) hardTimeoutMargin: -1 disabled, >=0 hard timeout above query timeout
