Issue : Elasticsearch connection gets lost and tomcat starts throwing the following error continuously

One point noted here is, it seems the node name to which the Java client tries to connect changes for every attempt.

The connection issue does not start after a specific time,it gets lost randomly after tomcat is started and client tries to reconnect. This is also sometimes successful, but after some time the above error is continuously thrown until tomcat is restarted.

Also, even at startup the node name shown is random, but it works as shown below

2016-02-02 19:05:31,666 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO com.clogic.eventstore.es.ESEventDataStore - new client created

Any input is appreciated..
