Hi all!

I have a question regarding some king of locking in ES (Java API). There should be one async call that start a process and send a response to user that process is in on progress, but all other method can be not async, because code are not overloaded by listeners for all async calls. Anyways, I faced with next problem: I make async call to create a new index. In responce handler I called another method to add some documents (10 documents) to this index (this call is not an async one), but I always get `ava.io.IOException: listener timeout after waiting for [90000] ms` . But document actually were added... Also I noticed that if all the calls are async - there is not such problem.The same situation when all call are NOT async.

Elasticsearch version - 7.7.0

How it could be solved?

Here is a short example of a structure:

> startProcess(createIndexResponse.index());

> @Override

> 
> private void startProcess(){

> BulkRequest request = prepareBulkRequest(new BulkRequest(), newIndexName, preparedDocuments);
> BulkResponse bulk = restHighLevelClient.bulk(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT); <---- and this call returns an IOException.
