Timed out waiting for relocation hand-off to complete

Hi,

I am using Elasicsearch 5.0.0 version.
I decided to use bulk api and also refresh=wait_for when running bulk insert.

My cluster has 3 nodes and it has green state.
I use java for bulk insert, during the insert the thread stuck and I get a warning messages in the log of the elastic for this index.

Looking at the shard state I can see it in RELOCATING state.
When I remove refresh=wait_for it works with no warning and the thread is finished successfully.
Another weird thing is that I see the index created, even when the thread is stuck.

Please help me to understand why the thread is stuck and I get those messages.
How I can debug this situation?

Thanks,
