Comment 2 for bug 1809844

I could not find a way to accomplish this without hard-coding the timeout in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docker/api/client.py

I would be in favor of an argument. This issue could easily be solved with an argument as it is with other docker clients. Reconfiguring kolla was not possible without changing the timeout.
 Setting the nice priority value ended up working only some of the time. Hard-coding source code that may be overwritten with future updates is not the right solution.
