Hi, I wasn't able to figure out how to configure the number of connections that are opened up by a TransportClient to an ElasticSearch cluster. There was some information in one of the discussions [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/7-ob2IeYnMI](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/7-ob2IeYnMI) but they don't seem to work with ElasticSearch 1.1.1. I can see 14 connections established from one TransportClient instance to one ElasticSearch instance by default. Thanks, Srinath. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, those configuration parameters still exist (there are more for ping and recovery). Wondering why exactly you want to change those? Do you have any specific problems going on? --Alex On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 7:47 AM, Srinath C [srinath.c@gmail.com](mailto:srinath.c@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > I wasn't able to figure out how to configure the number of connections > that are opened up by a TransportClient to an Elasticsearch cluster.

@spinscale Is the default number of connections made by the transport client is 14? Additionally, will a transport client only connect to one node at a time the cluster or multiple? ---
