i have any question  
The timeout option removes the output of a specific shard and responds within the exception time if a specific shard does not respond for more than that number of seconds.

What is the cancel\_after\_time\_interval option? When tested, when a specific shard fails, a response is provided for both the successful data and the failed shard.

Does the difference with timeout include whether or not an error is included for a specific shard when responding?

Anyway, what I'm really curious about is the difference between cancel\_after\_time\_interval and timeout options and  
I'm curious in detail about what cancel\_after\_time\_interval is!
