Just getting started with ES. I tried to start a client and I am getting  
the below exception

Nov 03, 2012 12:54:48 AM org.elasticsearch.plugins  
INFO: [Boomslang] loaded [], sites []  
Nov 03, 2012 12:54:54 AM org.elasticsearch.client.transport  
INFO: [Boomslang] failed to get local cluster state for [#transport#-1][inet[/127.0.0.1:9300]],  
disconnecting...

at  
java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:603)  
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)

My Java code

public static Client newClient()  
{  
final Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
.put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")  
.put("client.transport.sniff", true)  
.build();  
final TransportClient client = new TransportClient(settings);  
client.addTransportAddress(new  
InetSocketTransportAddress("127.0.0.1", 9300));  
return client;  
}

public static void main( String[] args )  
{  
Client client = newClient();

}

What am I doing wrong?

Are you trying to connect to an external (outside of the JVM) ES instance  
or an embedded one?

If the former, then add ("node.client", true) to your settings. For the  
latter, you can create a client from the node you create.

Cheers,

Ivan

I got it to work by disconnecting internet connection on my localhost. I  
reconnected and tried my the code and it still worked (strange). Thanks for  
trying to help.
