+        Timeout for image transfer in milliseconds. This timeout and the related
+        dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec parameter should be configured such
+        that normal image transfer can complete within the timeout.
+        This timeout prevents client hangs when the sender fails during
+        image transfer, which is particularly important during checkpointing.
+        Note that this timeout applies to the entirety of image transfer, and
+        is not a socket timeout.

+        Maximum bandwidth used for image transfer in bytes per second.
+        This can help keep normal namenode operations responsive during

+        transfers can complete successfully.
         A default value of 0 indicates that throttling is disabled.
