Hystrix ignores timeout on startup

I am experimenting a bit with Hystrix.

I substitute the documentation in such a way that even a synchronous call to the Hystrix command via "run" is done by default on the thread and must obey the timeout set in Hystrix. But when I try, no timeout seems to happen.

Am I misinterpreting the documentation? Or am I doing something wrong? And is there a way to get timeout with synchronous calls?

More specifically: I have a "SimpleService", it takes 5 seconds to return. This finishes with a Hystrix command with a 500ms timeout:

public class WebRequestCommand extends HystrixCommand<String> {
    private final SimpleService baneService;

    protected WebRequestCommand(SimpleService baneService) {

        super(
                Setter.withGroupKey(HystrixCommandGroupKey.Factory.asKey("test"))
                        .andCommandPropertiesDefaults(
                                HystrixCommandProperties.Setter()
                                        .withExecutionIsolationThreadTimeoutInMilliseconds(500)));
        this.baneService = baneService;
    }

    @Override
    protected String run() {
        return baneService.connectToBane();

    }

    @Override
    protected String getFallback() {
       return "SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE";
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

If I call it like this:

WebRequestCommand webService = new WebRequestCommand(baneService);
result = webService.run();

      

        
        
        
      

    

I get the result after 5 seconds => No timeout

If I call it like this:

WebRequestCommand webService = new WebRequestCommand(baneService);
result = webService.queue().get();

      

        
        
        
      

    

Hystrix timeout occurs after 500ms and returns a backup.
