+       Set timeout in milliseconds for all database responses.  To wait forever,
+       use -1. Can be overridden with <function>MongoCursor::timeout</function>.
+       This does not cause the MongoDB server to cancel the operation, it just
+       causes the driver to stop waiting for a response and throw a
+       MongoCursorTimeoutException.
