Answer 1

Something like

Object response;
start = System.currentTimeMillis();
response = execute();
if (System.currentTimeMillis() - start > 10000) {
  response = execute();
}

? or

Object get() {
  ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
  Future<Object> response = executor.submit(() -> {
    return execute();
  });
  executor.shutdown();
  executor.awaitTermination(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  if (executor.isTerminated()) {
    return response.get();
  }
  executor.shutdownNow();
  return get();
}
