Hi,

I'm asking as I read this from the doc 
http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/CoordinatorFunctionalSpec.html#a6.6.1._coord:currentint_n_EL_Function_for_Synchronous_Datasets:

  *   Timeout: A coordinator job can specify the timeout for its coordinator 
actions, this is, how long the coordinator action will be in WAITING or READY 
status before giving up on its execution.

But the doc also said:

  *   timeout: The maximum time, in minutes, that a materialized action will be 
waiting for the additional conditions to be satisfied before being discarded. A 
timeout of 0 indicates that at the time of materialization all the other 
conditions must be satisfied, else the action will be discarded. A timeout of 0 
indicates that if all the input events are not satisfied at the time of action 
materizlization, the action should timeout immediately. A timeout of -1 
indicates no timeout, the materialized action will wait forever for the other 
conditions to be satisfied. The default value is -1 .

During my test it seemed that oozie actions in READY status won't timeout.  So 
I'm a little confused.  What's the correct behavior for timeout in oozie?  
Thanks.

Thanks,
Adrian
