   Erasure coding background recovery work on the DataNodes can also be tuned via the following configuration parameters:
 
-  1. `dfs.datanode.stripedread.threshold.millis` - Timeout for striped reads. Default value is 5000 ms.
+  1. `dfs.datanode.stripedread.timeout.millis` - Timeout for striped reads. Default value is 5000 ms.
   1. `dfs.datanode.stripedread.threads` - Number of concurrent reader threads. Default value is 20 threads.
   1. `dfs.datanode.stripedread.buffer.size` - Buffer size for reader service. Default value is 256KB.
