Hi

I am running elasticsearch 0.19.9 cluster with 36 instances.

Data pipeline has several dozen of TransportClient instances and I found  
that only one client is getting actionGet timeout exception. I set the  
timeout as 10s.

I checked 'ulimit -u' as 57408, so it's not the problem regarding the  
number of threads. After I restarted the client, I am not seeing timeout  
anymore.

What should I have traced before restarting?

Thank you  
Best, Jae
