Description
I am building an application in Apache Beam and Python that runs in Google DataFlow. I am using the ReadFromSpanner method in apache_beam.io.gcp.experimental.spannerio. This works for most of my Spanner tables but the really large ones that are >40m rows tend to fail due to the following error:

From my understanding this error comes from the ReadFromSpanner operation as it's workers have timed out.
To solve this I have tried the following:
- Changed the num_workers and disk_size_gb and added the
--experiments=shuffle_mode=serviceflag as suggested in Google's Common Error Guidance - Changed the Machine Type from
n1-standard-1up ton1-standard-32 - My latest code is attached below. I am including Transformation for simple data wrangling in the rows.

with beam.Pipeline(options=options) as p:
(p

)
A potential solution is to edit the timeout control; I have seen this being available in Java but not in Python. How can I edit timeout control in Python or is there any other solution to this issue?
