Hello, we are evaluating elasticsearch for our searching framework.  
I wanted to know which is considered the best way to handle  
connections. We are planning to use a persistent thrift connection per  
process, that would mean around 100-120 concurrent connections.

Is thrift transport stable for production? Is there anything else we  
should consider?

Thank you,  
Chris

People use thrift in production (though I need to upgrade to the latest thrift version), but the HTTP endpoint is more battle tested.
