Hi all,

I am trying to grow my replicas from 0 to 2 across about 300 tables. I'm  
doing this by asynchronously issuing an UpdateSettingsRequest (through the  
Java client) for each table.

The first 100 go through fine (responding with a UpdateSettingsResponse),  
but the final ~200 fail with this exception:

```
 Failure is org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: 

```

[my-cluster][inet[/w.x.y.z:9300]][indices/settings/update]

We're using ES version 0.90.7. Any ideas what might be clogging the pipes?

Hey,

there might be a stack trace in the log files which helps to debug this  
problem further. However I would really encourage you to upgrade to a more  
recent version of elasticsearch, a lot of bugs have been fixed and  
stability has been increased a lot (along with tons of features).
