Timeout Exception when querying Aerospike from command line - aerospike

Question

I'm trying to query the aerospike database from command line.
I want to query a set called Users.
$ aql -h remote.myserver.com -p 3000
Aerospike Query Client
Version 3.13.0.1
C Client Version 4.1.6

aql> select * from test.Users
Error: (9) Timeout: timeout=1000 iterations=1 failedNodes=0 failedConns=0
How can I increase the timeout when I'm using CLI option?
This table has merely 27 records only.
Thanks in advance.

1) On latest aql tool you can use the -T command line option.
-T, --timeout Set the timeout (ms) for commands. Default: 1000
aql -u

2) Within aql interactive mode you can set the timeout by modifying the
TIMEOUT setting
aql> set TIMEOUT 100000
TIMEOUT = 100000
aql>
Here are the settings that can be modified in interactive mode.
SETTINGS
ECHO (true | false, default false)
OUTPUT (TABLE | JSON | MUTE | RAW, default TABLE)
OUTPUT_TYPES (true | false, default true)
TIMEOUT (time in ms, default: 1000)
VERBOSE (true | false, default false)
LUA_USERPATH <path>, default : /opt/aerospike/usr/udf/lua
LUA_SYSPATH <path>, default : /opt/aerospike/sys/udf/lua
USE_SMD (true | false, default false)
RECORD_TTL (time in sec, default: 0)
RECORD_PRINT_METADATA (true | false, default false, prints record metadata)
REPLICA_ANY (true | false, default false)
KEY_SEND (true | false, default false)
DURABLE_DELETE (true | false, default false)
FAIL_ON_CLUSTER_CHANGE (true | false, default true, policy applies to scans)
SCAN_PRIORITY priority of scan (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, AUTO), default : AUTO
NO_BINS (true | false, default false, No bins as part of scan and query result)
LINEARIZE_READ (true | false, default false, Make read linearizable, applicable only for namespace with strong_consistency enabled.)
3) Above settings can also be set within an aql script and called using
aql -f <aql_script>
$ cat test.aql
INSERT INTO test.demo (PK, foo, bar) VALUES ('key1', 123, 'abc')
SET TIMEOUT 150000
select * from test.demo
$ aql -f test.aql
INSERT INTO test.demo (PK, foo, bar) VALUES ('key1', 123, 'abc')
OK, 1 record affected.
SET TIMEOUT 150000
TIMEOUT = 150000
select * from test.demo
+-----+-------+
| foo | bar |
+-----+-------+
| 123 | "abc" |
+-----+-------+
