hbase.client.operation.timeout is used by HBaseAdmin operations, by RegionReplicaFlushHandler and by various HTable operations (including Get).
hbase.rpc.timeout is for the RPC layer to define how long HBase client applications take for a remote call to time out. It uses pings to check connections but will eventually throw a TimeoutException.
