Timeout is related to the actual operation taking more time than anticipated. In such a case, without waiting indefinitely, the operation times out and the fallback of the Hystrix command will be invoked. The circuit will be open for a fixed period of time configured by https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/Configuration#circuitBreaker.sleepWindowInMilliseconds
