When an EIM or any underlying components (libraries, external SDKs, etc.) are dumping excessive logs into stdout or stderr, the classification may hang unexpectedly. The issue doesn't exist when the runner is initialized with the debug option:
The solution seems to be to redirect the stdout/stderr to devnull if the debug option is not being used (currently they are attached to PIPE).
Also, this PR adds a timeout for the IPC communication with EIM , so the classification script will crash if there is no response from EIM within 5 seconds (can be set to longer in runner init.
